In Sleepiness and in Wake…
I Naijahusband, take you Naijawife…to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, in sleepiness and in wake, until death do us part. *At 1 a.m. in the morning* Naijawife: “Babe…” Naijahusband: “Hmmm?” Naijawife: “Darling” Naijahusband:…

Husband…not Child
Repeat after me ladies. “Men are NOT children.” “My spouse is a fully grown man. NOT an infant.” “Husband NOT child!” Everywhere I look it’s the same theme. Whether it’s the television commercial that shows the inept father that somehow manages to wrap his baby in a diaper made of moin moin leaves, or the 50th article…
