50/50 Men Who Disappear When It's Time to cook and clean.
I have no problem with men who want to do 50/50 with their wives.
My issue is simple: don't be a 50/50 man only when money is involved and then vanish when it's time for house chores. And don't expect your wife to be your personal cook. Cooking should be rotated. Both of you take turns.
If you want 50/50, do it from top to bottom, finances to house chores:
If your wife is cleaning the bedroom, you should be washing the toilet.
If she's cooking, you should be washing the plates.
If she goes to the market, you should do the cooking.
You should also carry pregnancy. Oh wait, you can't. So maybe stop acting like she's doing nothing.
If she's bathing one child, you should be bathing the other.
If she cooks today, you cook tomorrow.
If she's sweeping, you should be mopping.
If she's paying school fees for one child, you should be paying for the other.
If she's washing clothes, you should be rinsing and spreading them on the line.
That is what real 50/50 should look like. Not just when money is involved.
You want your wife to match you financially but the moment it's time to clean, cook, or carry responsibility around the house, suddenly you become a "traditional man".
You don't get to pick and choose. Either you are all in or you are not. You cannot be progressive with her income and primitive with her labour.
Something is wrong with that picture. Fix it.
Above all, love God.
Sometimes I sit with the reality of how unkind this world is to women, and it breaks my heart.
It is one thing for the world to fail women.
It is another thing entirely for people to organise cruelty against women and give it a cultural name.
That is barbarity!
That is evil!
This was one of the reasons my long-term friendship ended. You cannot be in unhealthy competition with me.
I have always been the kind of friend who puts you on, every opportunity I see, every resource I come across. But it was not reciprocated. Her excuse was “you know I don’t talk much, unlike you”. Torrh, how does being quiet translate to withholding information? ☹️
The final straw was an application we both submitted.
An email went out scheduling us for phone interviews. I missed the email. My friend received hers and said nothing. If she had told me, I would have checked my inbox immediately and seen my own date.
On my supposed interview day, a foreign number called me out of the blue. I picked up, only to be told it was my interview. Ah! I panicked. I wasn’t prepared, wasn’t even in the right place, so I asked for a reschedule. They declined. That was the end.💔
Still shaken, the very first person I called was my friend to warn her that they might call her too. Only for her to casually say, “Oh, I had mine yesterday.” 😳😳
The email came. You didn’t tell me. You had the interview. You still didn’t tell me.
Yet when I was blindsided by a call, you were the first person I thought of.💔💔.. Omo… that was when I knew it was over. I was deeply hurt.
And it wasn’t an isolated incident. There were many opportunities I only discovered later on her LinkedIn. Even reading materials that were never mentioned.
I told myself that in a world that thrives on information, I could not afford to remain in a friendship where information was being hoarded. I knew I had to walk away.
The sad part is that the damage bled into my next friendships. I started competing quietly.😞. I began assuming people were hiding things from me too.
Until I met a friend who healed me.
I am a strong advocate that women should not enter into marriage without being financially independent‼️
It is common to see men delay marriage until they’ve reached a certain level of financial stability. However, many women, especially when partnered with a financially buoyant man, tend to feel secure enough to marry, relying entirely on their partner’s income. 🫠🫠
I don’t think that’s a good idea. ❌
Financial readiness is a valid prerequisite for marriage, and it applies to both genders 🧏🏽♀️.
See, putting all your eggs in your partner’s basket is even risky. He may not even switch up on you, but what happens if life switches up on him? Will you be able to hold the family down?
I know the plan is to marry a rich man and be okun emi oga, nwunye odogwu. Good for you..🙏🏾 But please have your own coins.
Omo yes.
I have many things going on in my life already. If we can’t be each other’s peace, dey go front.
Arguments are inevitable o, but everytime? Abeg abeg. Move along.
Kuda broke down the new tax law in 4 slides. If you actually read it, you’ll see there’s no need to panic. 😌
But let’s talk: which part is still confusing you? Reply, I’ll explain

The 2026 Bible Study Plan is changing & it will transform your devotion!
Here’s what’s new:
Instead of a monthly plan, the Bible study will now come as a book that covers three months at a time. That means the entire Q1 will be in one book.
By January 2026, when all the low income earners in formal employment like cleaners, security guards, clerks, contract staff etc receive their salaries and they find out tax exemptions and reduced deductions, your agenda will die naturally.
The old tax law has a threshold of N360k for tax exemption, for low income earners, now it's N800k. Are you saying that the old law is better? My Healthcare SME business will no longer pay taxes in 2026 because I don't do 100m turnover yearly. I can move the tax relief to employ more people or pay higher wages. There are about 50 tax exemptions for small businesses in the new law.
Mr. Taiwo should quit arguing with elites who are determined not to reason with him and focus his engagement on low-income earners. There are about 20 security guards in my estate, they have zero knowledge about the new law. They listen to fault-finding critics on the radio and swallow misinformation on Facebook and WhatsApp.
Engage the SMEs and low-income earners.
