Voodoo Using Naija Wives Aren't Good Naija Wives

Hello Fellow Naija sisters in Marriage
I want to talk about Naija wives who give other Naija wives a bad name. Today, I had the most interesting conversation with a friend. She was telling me about other Naija wives who knew their place, who knew never to question their husbands on his whereabouts, who never complain when their he comes home really late and demands sex. I listened to her, my heart swelling with pride until she said something. . . one word that brought me crashing down. She said these women allowed their husbands go anywhere he pleased.

Allowed?

Allowed?

Let me repeat it, They allow their husbands to go anywhere in the world?

Really?

I mean. . . it sort of implies they had the choice of . . . not allowing them? And then it hit me! Oh My God! What kind of jazz, juju, voodoo have these evil wenches used on their husbands? I'd never allow myself to be allowed to allow my husband cme and go as he pleased? It's so un-Good Naija Wife like because it makes you look like a shrew. I am very happy with the way things work for us, thank you very much and i wouldn't change it for he world,

For instance, just this morning I woke up to find a note on my pillow with the words “Going away for the weekend, won’t be back until Tuesday” (The I was dotted with a heart. . . Isn’t that just the cutest?). Honestly, it’s times like these I am so happy my husband makes me have an overnight bag packed and ready to go, so I don’t have to scramble all over the place, trying to get his clothes, shoes and tooth brush fedexed to him. He is so considerate that way. . . And again, I am not bragging, just trying to show that a good Naija really can get her reward here on earth too and you don’t need no stinky jazz to do it.

Ladies, remember the husband is the head of his wife, therefore his world and ONLY his words matter. Please fellow Naija sisters in marriage, be ever vigillant of this ugly trend of having a say spreading around or you just might find yourself being branded a Voodoo Using Naija Wife.

May the heavens give us the strenght to keep our opinions to ourselves.

A Good Naija Wife.
