The Y in your man is silent.

I use to give him rice and beans.

Hello, our wonderful newsletter audience. Welcome to Giggles and Gele, a space where women get to be themselves without the prying eyes of men (if you’re reading this newsletter as a man, close your eyes)

Today, the girls have a discussion a tweet that’s been trending on X.

Now, cooking for your husband is not a problem, waking up to cook for your husband is not the problem, and cooking for someone you love is not the problem. But cooking for your husband so that he won’t cheat or not remain loyal to you? Peak fooling!

Let’s even start from the beginning. They’re bringing extra spoon for you at work? Ah, wow o.

Waking up early to cook for man is not a problem, but to wake up early to cook for your man so that another woman will not SNATCH him? So your man has to be catered for like a child for him to remain loyal to you? If that isn’t struggle love, then we don’t know what is.

That’s not even why we’re here. It is the men that have been saying it is okay for the man to cheat under that circumstance because “food is the way to a man’s heart” that we’re here for. So your wife will receive “i come to you as a woman” text because of jollof rice?

When a woman leaves her husband for a richer man, nobody will say she left because she found a man that’ll take care of her, nobody will say that the psychology behind a woman falling for a man that offers her money is not necessarily the money itself but the semblance of care and attention that the money giver offers, as the man that tweeted this is doing.

Instead, they will say she’s a gold digger.

So like this now, so that your husband won’t go and fall in love with a woman that will bring eba and egusi to work, you have to wake up and pound yam so that he won’t be impressed? Oya nau.

Co-worker: *opens food container*

Your husband: *falls in love*

---

Is that what you people are saying? Are you people dating hungry men? Was he not fed as a child? They’ll use beans and dodo to see your husband’s nakedness? Toor.

Men will come here, and they will say that it’s only normal to catch feelings for a woman like that, and we will slap their mouths with soup spoon.

Imagine your husband’s co-worker saying “Mr Donald, i’m about to eat, oya take spoon” abi “should I cut half banana for you?” abi “oya wait. I’ll remain small for you.”

Skrimsssss!

We’re not going to say much, but if you like bend your neck, if you like, do like dog, even be like a slave, a man that wants to cheat will still cheat. If you’re going to wake up early to cook for your husband, do it because you want to, not because you don’t want another woman to snatch him. Aterall, what if he tells you to fry plantain because his co-worker will bring beans?

You people should date men that actually like you. Know who you’re dating before you say yes when he proposes (this is not for you that is in a situationship, get serious)
