Nigerian Funny Quotes

An Nigerian man had no child, no money, no home and a blind mother. He prayed to God. God was happy with his prayers and told him to make only ONE wish which will be granted! Nigerian man: I want my mother to see my wife putting Diamond bangles on my child’s hands in our new mansion which has a sea view! God: Damn! I still have a lot to learn from these Nigerians!

There have been recent Nigerian social media debates about women and cooking, about how wives have to cook for husbands. It is funny, in the way that sad things are funny, that we are still talking about cooking as some kind of marriageability test for women. The knowledge of cooking does not come pre-installed in a vagina. Cooking is learned. Cooking – domestic work in general – is a life skill that both men and women should ideally have. It is also a skill that can elude both men and women. We also need to question the idea of marriage as a prize to women, because that is the basis of these absurd debates. If we stop conditioning women to see marriage as a prize, then we would have fewer debates about a wife needing to cook in order to earn that prize.
