My son, if you keep spending

My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps

enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a

woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had

farm-lands where they worked every morning that was our office.

My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket;

look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.

My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend is

when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all

has been spent.

My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and

that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.

My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.

My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests,

there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.

My son, under the big tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but

remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.

My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never

knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along

My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was not

for it was because I missed her so much.
My son, remember, when you say your wife has changed, there could be something you’ve stopped doing too.

My son, your mother, she rode the bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that

won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.

My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared

you to any man?

My son, there is this thing you people call , well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house, divide all

the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part.

My son, I met your mother a and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a don’t blame her, what

I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige.

My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my

family name, please don’t make that mistake, the kind of female achievers I see nowadays has made the  an ordinary tag.

My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not

raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.
