WIFE NOT COOK



Long time no write
 For those who don't know me, I am the one Pastor Adeboye talked about, the hardworking prayer warrior that cooks till you bite your fingers, the most expensive wife material. 

Lemme clarify this cooking issue for those who are yet to understand it. 
The Noble Igwes who argue that they married 'wives not cooks '
The Banky Ws who claim that they can cook so she needn't know how 
The Adeboye fans who have started looking for 'cooks not wives '
The Adeboye critics who believe that cooking shouldn't be a criteria for marriage  
And people like Uchechi Orji that laugh at everyone's point of view humorously 

Cooking is a skill , a necessary skill, it should be packed in everyone's survival kit, I will tell you why 
It's not like money cannot buy good food, money can, but can it buy the quality of food you need? Maybe yes, maybe no because quality and need varies amongst individuals. 

A mother of her husband and children has to know what they eat, I don't know about you, but I care about what my parents, siblings and adopted children put Into their digestive system, it has to be what they need, not what they want.
 It is essential to monitor what your family eats so that you know how and when they pick up strange diseases and illnesses. When it comes to people handling some chores, I have trust issues. I know that it is done right only when I do it.  When we were kids, coughing automatically told my mother that we ate something from another kid and she was always right.

She SHOULD  know how to cook, doesn't mean she MUST always cook, you guys should note the difference . While learning how to drive, everyone insisted that I use a manual car, I refused because I definitely won't go shopping for one, but here's what my Biggest brother asked me " if there's a medical emergency, and someone needs to be rushed to the hospital, there's only a manual car around, will you let the person die rather than drive ? That question reset my thinking.  Knowledge isn't a waste, it can be a life saver, you mustn't be a medical doctor, but your knowledge enables you to know if the treatment is right for you. I hate ironing, but I do it when necessary.

For those who know how to cook hence their spouses shouldn't, you are her husband not her bodyguard, one day you will travel out of town and dear wifey will feed your children with unhealthy junk.  Someday you will be invalid and Mrs wife will get your meals from Iyaba sira. Husband and wife should know how to cook, so that they can fill in for each other when necessary.
As we all know, it's only my age that keeps coming down while everyone else's keeps going up. There are age related diseases and there are 'junk-acquired ' disorders. The doctors will always tell you that eating healthy can help you manage them.  Before you go screaming "God forbid, it's not my portion," many people have had them and many more will still have them, you won't be the last.  When these creep in, you will realise that there is a difference between 'custom made' food and 'pre-fabricated' food, when it dawns on you that food can be made according your specification, wifey has been too pampered to learn at old age.  Who wants to spoil cute manicure?

There is a difference between love and duty.  When your spouse cooks, love is added amongst other ingredients, that is the best recipe ever, you are nourished inside out.  When the cook  cooks out of duty, bouillion cubes (Maggi, knorr, royco,) replace the love.  I wonder how many people read those wraps before using. The cook cares about giving you tasty meals, while your spouse cares about you living longer than his / her wahala.
I definitely won't spend my expensive time talking about the economic importance of cooking at home as opposed to eating out, some people's pockets never run dry. Some newly weds still have their PEA hormones in quantum supply so anything wife does is lovely, with time and age comes the craving for comfort and homeliness, sleeping in and eating in, we are observing them.

For those who have found lovely women who lack in the kitchen department, look out for willingness to learn and compromise, you can teach her or enroll her in classes (my services can be rendered ) she should at least learn the basics, enough not to poison anyone.
I know that after reading this, some people will still want to get rid of all their cooking appliances and get a cook, whichever be the case, Yours truly is at your service. I welcome donations and I can offer cooking services. Reach me and you won't regret.
I hope I didn't bore you with my long opinion. Remain loved till I finish pounding this fufu.
