  3. As in? What in the name of God is this. Some of these request are mandatory for any relationship to work but most of them and the way that they are worded makes me feel like some egotistical maniac wrote this. …. Ask our consent before accepting any male as a friend? common now!

  4. Nigeria husband, the woman was never fat (maybe when you met her ) but you got her pregnant and ; there is what is known as baby fat. If you don't provide good and healthy meals for her during and after pregnancy there is a tendency of her being fat. Fruits and veggies are very expensive so you may likely buy bag of rice, garri, bread and all affordable carbohydrate to enhance the fat growing. Buy her treadmill and good meals she can keep fit and healthy too. She did it for your joy and peace so respect her sacrifices .

    Don't come home late and expect your spouse to be happy with her arms open , after keeping her waiting.

    Don't make bill payment part of her responsibility even if she is a working class. She is a helper and not the HEAD.

    Nigerian husband your wife should be your best buddy so tell her how things are going with your job or business. This will either make her more prayerful or powerful.

    Nigerian husband, spend time with your wife just like you did during your first love. It will keep the love burning between you two.

    Nigeria husband, surprise your spouse with home made food once in as long as you can. It is romantic.

    Nigeria husband, love your children for that is what we want as women.

    Try to call your spouse when you are at work or stress moment. She is always there to listen.

    Give your spouse time to explain herself when there is need to.

    Protect her outside and scorn her indoors. ( privately) .

    Praise her bad cooking with wisdom. E.g Sweet heart your food taste good . I would like to eat this again lets say in two weeks but can you cut down or the pepper, salt , water , maggi or whatever your observation is? I think it will pay rather than " O God!! When will you ever cook what somebody will eat? Did your mum not teach you how to cook? What kind of salty , water , maggi soup is this?

    O boy!!!!!! She will go gaga!!!!

    Kudos to you all and a big LOVE to my sugar, buddy , best half, sweet , bobby and husband. He is a blessed Nigeria husband.
