And the woman responded… Let me use her words:
“If I give my husband food, im no chop say because im dey vex… make im
dey there! Hungry never catch am. After I don go suffer, find money cook
for am; work e no get, money e no drop… Me?! I no go beg am o! Lai lai!
I no fit beg that kain beg!”
A man (married) once told me –
"I don’t apologize o! I can never say, “I’m sorry.” to my wife; it’s
her duty to do that." Now, my question is, is it truly COWARDICE or a
SIGN OF WEAKNESS for a man to apologize to his wife?
I listened to this young woman (should be in her 40’s) as she tearfully narrated her story within the early hours of the day:
I work for a family as a nanny. I don’t live with them so I have to
resume early enough to take the children to school. Very early this
morning, around 6a.m. as I was going to work, I was walking along my
usual route; it’s a lonely road and bushy. As I was walking down the
road, a young boy within the age of 20 and 24 years suddenly appeared
from the bush and he attacked me with this speed that I couldn’t make
any attempt to run; before I knew what was going on, I was already on
the ground. This boy was seriously struggling to get off my clothes; he
wanted to rape me! His blows where
concentrated mostly on my face. Oh! He hit my eyes… (sobs) he hit my
eyes until my right eye, as you can see, turned blue! (And indeed, I saw
the eye –it was blue, I mean the colour BLUE you know!) She continued,
but I struggled with the whole of my strength to stop him –I struggled
and struggled until I escaped from his strong grip and I ran for my dear
life. That’s why you can see me here. I would have killed myself with
my own hands if that little boy had succeeded… (sobs) I have suffered!
I felt pity for the poor woman. And I asked myself, what was that boy thinking? Was he possessed or something?
Warn
my wife... Eh...! She's your friend so I want you to warn her
seriously! Why did I marry her in the first place? I married a woman so
she can cook for me, and help me with other things! Why will she expect
me to be in the kitchen or cook? What for? Is she not the woman in the
house? Is it not her duty to cook for me? What will I doing there?
Besides, kitchen is not even my place, I simply don't like entering the
kitchen! And nothing, nobody will ever make me step there! Period!
That was my friend's husband complaining bitterly about Mrs... Too many questions to answer...
