MESSAGE TO ALL SONS

My son, your mother Binta rode the bicycle with me before i bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that wont endure with you in your little beginning shouldn’t enjoy your riches.

My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways shes enduring you too and has she ever compare 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 clothe i was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, i didn’t 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 called tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your womens of nowadays.

My son, your mother and i are 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 forget 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, everybody.

My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you are saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

My son woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you have found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family please don’t let her go.

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 shes aware of the home needs and bills to pay, but if its in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spend.

My son, don’t be carried away when you started making more money instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spent it on that woman that stood by you all along.

My son, remember when you say your wife has change, there could be something you have stopped doing too.
