Uncle Men! All we want is for you to defend us...

Uncle man, when will you start giving aunty woman the respect and total undiluted love she desires and indeed deserves?

When will you realize that aunty woman is your new family?

Your new project?

Your newly acquired responsibility?

Don't get me wrong uncle man, I am not saying that all she is to you, you are not to her o, but honestly, really, lets get honest, you know aunty woman treats you like her baby and she loves you like no other.

See, its not about the pet names you've invented for her o, I mean, calling her cotton candy or agbalumo doesn't mean that she won't get pissed after you do some nasty sh%t to her. For instance, I can't find a condom wrap in your pants and you feel that because you have said sorry and with the sorry you even attached one yeye sweet name that I will just forget and smile again. Biko Uncle Man, rest jor, I ain't Jesus Christ of Nazarath.

Uncle Man, we appreciate that you spent quite a sum to marry us, we know how expensive Nigerian weddings can be, I am sure we say thank you at every chance we get. In the kitchen, bedroom, sitting room, library, office space, every where, we carry a million thank yous' in our hearts and we try to express like another billion when we can, so get this, we thank you a thousand times per minute.

Now that you know we appreciate you, its time for you to know another thing.
You should know that every time you don't defend us when the need arises, you shatter our very delicate hearts.

As a boyfriend, fiancé or husband, you occupy a huge chunk of the space in our beings. Although sometimes we try to form independent woman, Na lie, we need you. There's nothing as comforting as a man standing up to tell other men or women to shut the f*@k up and get out of his woman's business.


I wanna share a really short story.

Please continue:

A beautiful couple I know have been married for quite some time now, sometimes the road is bumpy and other times its smooth. (🎼 its not an easy road...nooooo nooooo its not an easy road).

Well, the bumps started appearing all of a sudden when the wife started noticing that her husband places her on the discussion desk with his friends, these friends never talked about their own wives oh. Hmmmn...

He publicly made fun of her imperfection at every opportunity he got, either at a family function, dinner, with friends at a bar, anywhere sha. He would say stuff like "my wife has the loudest moans during sex" "my wife snores" "she always adds extra salt, it burns my tongue". Surprised? I'm not making this up, so if you're surprised, be, but believe.

Poor sister Wife did not know about all these until last year when she was in his car with one of his friend's who has a loud mouth about other people's business. He jokingly said to her, "ah! iyawo, hope you didn't give oga another sleepless night with your rhythmic night music." Was sister wife confused? Oh yes, she most certainly was. What did she do? She smiled and gave him no reply but looked at her husband laughing away, he seemed to have enjoyed his friend's sarcastic question.

She didn't say anything until they got to their destination but she completely ignored what her husband's friend had said earlier. She held her anger deep in her heart and waited to explode at home but when they got home, she couldn't.
She quietly sat on her bed and asked her husband why...

Part 2 soon.
