PLEASE JUDGE THIS CASE
(Women, pls dont be partial)
The wife angered her husband. Rather than whack her mouth, the husband remembered it is written “thou shalt not slap your wife”, he simply said ‘Toyin, i hope you are not stupid tonight?
Rather than keep quiet and let the man enjoy one of the benefits of the dowry he paid, Toyin said “you say i am stupid? Emi? Iwo gan stupid. You are stupid o. (Lashing him with her rolling eyes) In fact, you lack home training. If you were well trained, you will know that you dont abuse women. Idiot of a husband …”
The man was surprised. “What have i said that you are abusing me this much?”
“I never abuse abuse. You started it. That is how you and your siblings were brought up. To abuse your wives always. That is what your dad did to your mum till he sentenced her to the wheel chair! You cant do that to me o! You cant kill me for my children. If that is the curse in your family…
“Ah… Toyin…what have i said that you went straight to my parents?” the man drew near her and blessed her with three sharp slaps across the face. Toyin saw some twinkle twinkle little stars. She collapsed on the sofa as she covered her face with both hands. She began to scream… Weereee… O fe pami… O fe somi di alabo ara bi baba e ti so mama doni wheel chair…(Mad man. You cant kill me. You cant sentence me to the wheelchair as you father did your mum”)
The husband drew nearer again…found the flat of his hand and did some good abara on her back and five demonised iladi on her bumbum. The type that would stop her from using that bumbum to sit in six weeks. What the neighbours heard was “Opami o… weeree ti pami oo… won fe somi di alabo ara bi ti mama won…” (He wants to kill me.. he want to keep me on the wheelchair like his father did his mother) It was still too much for the husband. He drew nearer again and did some whacking on her cheeks.
Later, the husband said…”This is one of the reasons why you must not tell your wife all that had happened in your family. One day, she would use it to abuse you.”
Please, judge well.
1. Cant a man say simple “dont be silly to his wife, especially when she acts like one? Ko san dowry ni?
2. Must a wife use her mouth so well and go scot-free?
3. Is the husband justified in doing the whacking?
4. Is it right to download all your family details to your wife?
I beg judge right o. Remember… there is God o!
