erful word
grand pa share with us.***
* 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 it 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 cocoa
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 s*x, 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, Asake
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
feminism, 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 virgin and I took
more yams to her father, if
you don’t meet your
wife a virgin, 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
male-gender 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.
* My son, in our days, our
women had more of
natural beauty, though I
wouldn’t lie to you, some
had minor painting of their
appellation mostly on
their arms, the ones you
people now call tattoo,
but don’t forget that they
didn’t expose any part
of their body like your women
of nowadays.
* My son, your mother and I
is not interested in
what happens in your
marriage, try to handle
issues without always coming
to us.
* My son, remember I bought
your mother’s first
sewing machine for her, help
your wife achieve
her dreams just as you’re
pursuing yours.
* My son, don’t stop taking
care of me and your
mother, it’s a secret of
growing old and having
children to take care of you
too.
* My son, pray with your
family, there is a
tomorrow you don’t know, talk
to God that knows
everything, everyday.
* My son, if I had taken my
time to tell you all
these and your marriage did
not last like that of
your mother and I, then you
are a bastard..
