This morning, my kids were playing with me on the bed.
Then my wife called my daughter to come help her in the kitchen.
The following conversation took place:
Daughter: Daddy, why isn't "her brother's name" coming to join us in the kitchen? He should also learn how to cook.
Me: Yes, he should learn how to cook, but for different reasons.
D: what are the reasons, daddy?
Me: Your brother should learn how to cook so that he can survive when he's on his own as a young man or a bachelor. You should learn how to cook, so that you can survive as a young lady, and be able to cook for your husband and children.
D: But daddy, that's gender stereotyping.
Me: My head is spinning.
Me: What do you mean?
D: I mean, daddy, I must not be the only one who cooks for my husband. I can also earn more money than my husband, so he too should be cooking.
My head just do gbam!
Na so I start lecture ooo.
My wife called her again, but I had to ask her to allow her because I wanted to talk to her.
What started as a simple conversation turned into a 30 minutes lecture time.
I thought she was still very young to understand certain things but I realized this girl is always on YouTube kids watching different girly stuff. And somehow, this internet has a way to feeding them this western ideologies.
So I started from when I met her mother at the university until I married her. I told her that during our dating period, I did not give her mother any money for hair, buy her any phone, or pay any rent for her mother.
I told her that, yes, she should aspire to make her own money, and that even when she gets married and is making money, her money is not meant for her to be a provider for her husband.
I used my wife and myself as examples. I told her that when I married her mother, she was working and earning money, but she stopped working to become a stay-at-home mother and wife.
And that I pay her mother a monthly salary for the job she does.
D: Mommy never told me that you pay her salary.
Me: Yes, she didn't tell you because it's not your business. But I am telling you now so that you understand that even if you see your mother at home every day, it doesn't mean that she's not working.
That it can heppen to her when she gets married. Which is why she must be careful with the type of men she follows or the type of man she would get married to.
I told her that she should never see men and women as equals. That we have different privileges.
I now asked her if she knows what feminism is?
This girl said yes.
Omo I started another round of lecture o.
Feminism is different from femininity. I want you to discard whatever feminism is saying and be a feminine lady.
I married her because her mother is a feminine woman.
I talk tire.
This girl was just looking at me in awe.
I was actually waiting for when she would turn 15/16 before having such conversations with her, but omo, I for gok am.
Later, I had to call her mother privately to tell her that she has more work to do in terms of orientation. She said she does, but it's good that I lectured her, so she will now use it to teach and convince her more, because she always doesn't want to disappoint me, her father.
May my daughter not become the very things I teach against.
End.
As a man, if you want to go far in life:
1. Stop smoking.
2. Say your word and stand by it.
3. Stop womanizing.
4. Cut your alcohol intake.
5. Always use condoms if you’re not sure.
6. Pray.
7. Give alms.
8. Wake up before 6 a.m. every day.
9. Drink water every morning 30-60mins before breakfast.
10. Read good books every single day.
11. Invest before you spend.
12. Live below your means.
Do these and failure will stay far from you.
Above all, love God.
Just a friendly reminder because social media will have you confused.
- Men need women.
- Women need men.
- 50/50, 100/0, 70/30 is cool - DO YOU!
- A cheater will cheat on anyone.
- Being single is fine if you're happy.
- There is nothing wrong with a 9-5.
- Health is wealth.
- Social Media is not real.
You can't see your reflection in boiling water.
The same way, you can't see yourself clearly when you're angry.
Let the water calm down.
Then you'll see everything clearly. 🤍
