NaijaWife: *Taking a long shower as usual – peeks out of bath and shouts* – “Naijahusband wait for me! Let’s leave the house together!”v
NaijaHusband: *Frantically getting dressed* “…Sweetie I can’t. I have a client situation at work that I need to rush to handle.”
NaijaWife: “If you like eh, don’t wait for me. You’ll just find yourself with a domestic situation when you get back.”
NaijaHusband: *Calmly sits down to wait for her*
Later that day.
NaijaWife: *Calls him at work* “Are we still having date night today?”
NaijaHusband: *Looks around at his frantic colleagues* “I’m not sure sweetie….things are pretty rough here in the office.”
Pause…
NaijaWife: *Sigh* “Well if you like, stay late at work. The later you stay, the less likely I’ll…”
NaijaHusband: Calmly opens email to find saved list of her favorite restaurants

Later that night
NaijaWife: *Snuggled up on the sofa, forcing Naijahusband to watch Jenifa Pt. 2 again*
