There are some basic rules
that Nigerian men have for
their future wives. Most of
the men in the society that
are eligible for marriage have
certain criteria they expect
their future partners to
possess.
It is amazing that all men want
their women to be like that
irrespective of their own
standing and worth. These rules
stand for every Nigerian man
and the ladies who fail to obey
these rules would have problems
with them once they are
married.
It is advisable for the women to
know what they are getting into
so they do not get disappointed
after marriage. Being married is
a different ball game compared
to dating or ordinary
relationships. While dating, the
ladies have a say in certain
issues or in all issues. But in
marriage, the men naturally
assume their position of
authority and expect the women
to obey them and not flout
their rules.
Find below some of the
unnegotiable rules Nigerian men
expect their future wives to
obey:
1. His words are final
While making deliberations in
the house, whatever he says is
the law. Nigerian men expect
their wives to obey them and
follow their rules with all their
hearts. Before taking any
decision, they should be
consulted and their advices
should not be taken lightly.
2. You must be able to cook
Most Nigerian men get married
because they are tired of the
hunger they often have to deal
with as a bachelor. Thus, most
Nigerian men expect their
future wives to be good in the
kitchen and be able to cook
them delicious and healthy
meals.
If you do not know how to do
this as a woman, then there is
no point getting married to a
Nigerian man because his
expectations of you are already
defeated. Sooner or later,
problems would spring up
between you two as a result of
this.
3. Getting the house cleaned
is your business
Most Nigerian men expect their
future wives to be effective
when it comes to cleaning the
house and fixing the space they
live in. Do not expect the men
to help you in this aspect
because most of them would
not.
Many of them think it is
humiliating for them to sweep
and clean the house when there
are women around them. They
believe it is their duty to
provide money for the family
and should not be involved in
demeaning chores again.
4. You must be hardworking
Every Nigerian man wants a
woman who is smart and
hardworking as his future wife.
The wives are expected to be
good home keepers who would
work and raise their kids with
the best hands. Their wives
should know how to multitask as
they naturally expect them to
see to the affairs of the home
while they are busy trying to
make money.
5. Do not ask them plenty
questions
Nigerian men aspire to be kings
when they are married. They
want complaisant and submissive
wives who would not argue with
them; their future wives should
not question their authority
when it comes to certain issues
like their whereabouts, the way
they spend money, who they
have been hanging out with and
what they have been doing with
their free time.
Once you start to question
them in these aspects, they
would become defensive and
start to put you in your place as
their wives.
6. Do not expect them to be
romantic outside
Nigerian men expect their
future wives to know they are
men and would not be able to
give in to all the public display
of affection women enjoy. They
would rather do that when they
are at home with you or in a less
opened space.
The only time you may get to
advertise them as your husband
is when you are celebrating your
twentieth or twenty-fifth
wedding anniversary. The future
wives are expected to know this
and not create any fuss about it
after marriage.
7. You must marry his family
The last basic rule Nigerian men
have for their future wives
have to do with their family
members; the wives are
expected to marry the family
members and get along with
them. If you do not obey this
rule, that marriage could fail
and break.
