Episode 3: Who’s That?

Naijahusband: “That movie you like is on TV.”

NaijaWife:  “Which movie?”

NaijaHusband: “Ghandi and the Fellowship of the Elves.”

NaijaWife: *Thinking*……………..

NaijaWife: *Thinking*……………..

NaijaWife: *Sigh* ..….You mean Lord of the Rings?

All NaijaHusband knows is that one of these two people was in a movie I liked.

Another day

NaijaWife: *Reading news on phone*  “Wow! Kanye West got engaged! I can’t believe this!”

NaijaHusband: “Oh really? To who?”

NaijaWife: “Um…to Kim Kardashian obviously.”

NaijaHusband: “Who?”

I wonder if NaijaHusband even knows who Kanye West is...

1 hour later

NaijaWife: “I really need to stop reading Linda Ikeji. This can’t be good for my brain.”

NaijaHusband: “Who’s that?”

NaijaWife: *stunned silence*

NaijaHusband: “Is she a singer?”

Following week

Naijawife: *Reading Gossip Magazine about the Royals* – “Oh they say Princess Beatrice moved to America…the girl too resemble her mama sef.”

NaijaHusband: “Nice!…Who is she?”

NaijaWife: “Seriously? The Duchess’s daughter! You know…Fergie!”

NaijaHusband: “Oh the Singer?”

NaijaWife: “No! The Royal! Red hair? Big Teeth? Remember?”

NaijaHusband: “Um… she sang “American Boy” right?”

All three are the same according to NaijaHuband

NaijaWife: *Sigh*

NaijaHusband: “What’s wrong?”

NaijaWife: “I need more female friends.”

NaijaHusband does not know pop culture or celebrities at all.  This is probably a good thing.

    ‘Who’s that?’, ‘to who?’ Lol!

    Nice…about not knowing pop culture or who Kim Kardashian or Kanye West are, that’s what I meant when I said in that NH vs Uncle Efe post that NH didn’t know ‘what’s up’. And I agree with NW, it’s a good thing and for this type of gist, she sure needs more female friends.

    You guys crack me up all the time, I have my own image of NW’s face as she confirms yet again that her dear NH is just not interested in those funky gists. LOL.

    Nice post!

    Haha hilarous!!! I can definitely relate. I remember complaining to my husband about Beyonce’s recent nakedness. He listened for like 5 minutes and said “and this is important because???” Didnt help that I was giving him this gist over the phone. I just jejely dropped the phone and started analysing the gist with my sisters on whatapp 🙂

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

    At least Cakes is better than NH in this regard.

    1. Berry Dakara Avatar

      Although Cakes’s own knowledge is on another level. Sometimes, the info he presents as fact are just astounding! E.g. He detests Ellen Degeneres because she used to be married before and decided to dump her husband and become a lesbian…

      You should have seen the shocked look on my face – like HOW????? IN WHAT WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN???

        Lol…Really? She was married before? I have watched Ellen for years but didn’t know that.

        1. Berry Dakara Avatar

          She was NEVER married. But Cakes has the most outrageous facts that aren’t true

    Surprised he thought Linda Ikeji was singer. Lol naijahusband for real.

    LOL. It’s probably a good thing. Although the Ghandi/Gandalf one…as a movie buff that would be interesting to say the least:)

    hehehe…NH has more time to fill his brain with important stuff this way! I only say that because my pop culture knowledge isn’t so great either.

    Hahahha!…He and my hubby would get along so well! I have given up when it comes to that with him…actually i think he is now rubbing off on me. Lol!

  13. 1 + The One Avatar

    LOL.. Ghandi and the Fellowship of the Elves just did it for me. Hahahaha!

    1. Cherrywine Avatar

      In fact… Afi Gandhi and the Fellowship of the Elves na. Naija Husband just crammed 3 movies into one title: Gandhi, Fellowship of the Ring and either Elves (1989) or Elf (2003). Way to go jare, NH!

    Lool! Una two sha. Busy as he might be, he should try to at least know these people so you have more common ground for convos. That’s what me thinks sha. But I can’t say I blame him much. Most men hardly keep up with all these stuff. As for Linda Ikeji, please quit. Really isn’t good for your brain.
    I love! love!! love!!! u guys! You make me want to marry sharp sharp 😀

    I dont blame him. You know I am equally as bad. I actually think not knowing all these things is a form of self protection. I tell myself I am protecting myself from Brain rot.

    1. Maggielola Avatar

      Protection from brain rot? Wow please layer ’em thick, lol. Haha

  16. Maggielola Avatar

    So I thought it was just me with my brain gasping for oxygen whenever I read Linda Ikeji’s blog. It’s not her but her readers…they’re out of this world. Lol

    Good thing he doesn’t know about celebrities. He is the perfect getaway…right in your bedroon. The perfect balance o, Naija Wife.

    1. Cherrywine Avatar

      Chai! I thought I was the only one that felt that way about Linda’s readers. I have to lay down in a darkened room to overcome the typos, bile, ignorance and foolery that they spew on that blog. I am detoxing from LIB for now. NH, more power to you for not knowing and more importantly not caring. “Is she a singer?” Kai, I died!!! NW, step into the light biko. Lol. Y’all know I love you guys.

    How can he not know who Linda Ikeji is?????? I refuse to believe it lol.

  18. livelytwist Avatar

    That’s why he has you to enlighten him & rescue him from the dark ages! NH, if it’s consolation, I’m just about as clueless as you are 🙂

    Let me tell you that I am like Naija Husband….not that bad sha.

    To be honest, ’twas only when I moved to Lagos and began work at my current place that I got to know who Linda Ikeji is. As it is, I do not know half the musicians, actors and Nigerian celebrities we now have. Was not too long ago I have found about Davido and Tiwa. The way I see it, in this regard Ignorance is Bliss.
