Facebook user Nkechi Bianze dishes out advise for married couples
The Facebook user shared how people make marriage sound difficult and unbearable, she wrote
Me: I don't like Eja-Kika.
Them: What if your husband likes Eja-Kika?
Me: If my husband likes Eja-Kika, he can cook Eja-Kika or buy Eja-Kika at restaurants or from the streets. But, me, when I cook, Eja-Kika will NOT find its way into my pot. And I won't use my money to buy them at restaurants either.
Dear Nigerians,
Whenever a woman says she doesn't like something, resist the temptation to ask her what if her husband likes that thing.
A woman doesn't have to force herself to start liking things she hasn't liked all her life just because she got married to a man who likes them.
There are some things my husband likes, which I don't like. And I haven't started liking those things just because we got married.
I don't like Eja-Kika. Don't tell me Eja-Kika is dried Fish. Anyone who lives in Lagos knows the exact kind of poor people's fish I'm referring to.
My husband likes it. So, he cooks with them or buys them at restaurants.
I don't like periwinkle. My husband likes them.
I don't cook with periwinkle.
I will NOT start cooking with Eja-Kika or periwinkle just because I got married to someone who likes them.
I like Akpu (fermented cassava fufu). My husband can't stand the sight and smell of akpu. He thinks people who eat akpu are not so normal and shouldn't exist amongst other normal humans.😏🙄😐
But...
I STILL EAT AKPU!
The only reason I don't eat akpu too much is because it's high carb. And I've drastically reduced the rate at which I eat all high carb swallows, including garri and pounded yam.
So, yes, I don't eat akpu and other high carb swallows too much, and it's not because of my husband.
When I eat akpu; I don't force the akpu into my husband's mouth. I just put the akpu in my mouth. He can eat whatever swallow he likes.
Akpu, Eja-Kika, and periwinkle have NEVER caused any issues in my home.
You people should stop making this marriage look harder than it seems.
Before marriage, I'll always hear and read, "Marriage is hard work." Well, I've NOT had to work hard, and I hope I never have to work hard.
If the marriage requires too much work, get out!
Contrary to what you might have heard all your life, MARRIAGE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HARD WORK!

Some Governors are enjoying Insecurity in South East – Imo House of Reps member, Ugochinyere Ikenga, says

A House of Representatives member representing Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo state, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has said that some South-East governors have failed to bring an end to the crisis in the region because they are benefiting from it. Ugochinyere made the allegation while appearing on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, July 12. “There’s so much power that the president has in the constitution that he could use to bring this matter to a close within the shortest possible time. But the South-East leaders need to sit down to find a common ground over this issue of insecurity. The most important thing is that we want peace in the South-East because everywhere is devastated. Erosion is killing us. Infrastructure has collapsed. And then we cannot even sleep because our houses are being burnt and our people are being killed. This is not good. Any leader that wants the progress and unity of Nigeria definitely will open his doors to allow stakeholders to come in to allow stakeholders to fi
