38 stress of a Nigerian man

• Wife save your husband!

Dear Editor,

Please, permit me to share this article with your thousands of readers.

Though I couldn’t not personally confirm the author, but I think it is necessary to educate ourselves to take things easy.

It may seem hilarious, being the list of stress Nigerian men go through, but these are real!

Wives need to ‘care-more’ these days, especially with hardship everywhere.

………………….

Why do husbands in Africa die most times before wives?

A husband in Africa in most cases is under intense tension because he is responsible for:

• Children school fees
• house rents
• Electricity bill
• Medical bills
• Generator fuel & repairs
• Car fuel and repairs
• Feeding of family
• Clothes for children
• Sallah or Christmas and New year bills
• Furniture & House maintenance
• In-laws wahala/demand
• His own aged parents
• His siblings most times
• His wife’s demands
• Vigilante bills
• Erecting Building
• Religious demands
• Family social bills
• Electronics bills
• Recharge cards
• Extended family bills
• Community demands

On top of the above, he also faces:

• Wife stress/insults
• Boss stress at work
• Police stress on the way
• Area boys stress
• Kidnappers fear
• Friends stress
• Economy stress
• Fear of job loss
• Unemployment pains
• Armed Robbery stress
• Children misbehaviour
• Neighbours stress
• Bank loan payment stress
• Enemies stress
• Demonic attack stress
• Sex stress

In fact, the list is endless!

Are these reasons not enough for all African Wives to understand and give their husbands peace at home? Are men not trying? How can an African man with these kind of loads be romantic like an American man?

Women, please give  your husband’s peace at home. Encourage your husbands. Stop being sarcastic to them. Except if you like to join the widows club early! Note:

That club is not funny. Ask members. Help your husband. Contribute to the family. Be a helper. Be submissive. Stop nagging. Build your home and marriage. It is not greener outside there. Don’t be deceived!!

Help your husband to live longer like you!
