"Most times they choose to do the cooking themselves cuz why pay someone to do it when you can? Plus they get to catch up with family members they haven't seen in a while. If you marry woman wey get sense she no go gree sitdown while other family members dey kitchen dey cook."

"Look at whites lifestyles, dey come together during a family gathering and do the cooking themselves a 3rd party even tho they have d money to hire the best cook in the world. It's not about the money, boss. Don't break d bond that exists in your family because of a trivial issue."

"This doesn't make you the best husband. And it is not a crime for your wife to assist in the kitchen during family occasions."
