Dear Housewife,
I join other world citizens of goodwill to celebrate you. You are highly appreciated for your enormous contribution towards the psycho-socio-economic and moral development of homes globally. Sanity, peace and love reigned supreme in our homes in the days of yore when you were firmly in charge.
Children were actually born and bred and groomed in home training which reflected positively on our society. We are sorry for ignoring and disregarding your skill as the ultimate home maker and builder of nations. Due to economic crunch, we labeled you jobless and your esteemed profession became a term of abuse.
The astronomical cost of living, especially in Lagos Nigeria, has driven many of us husbands to place premium on only ‘ATM’ wives. Single stream of income homes can no longer sustain the bills of rent, school fees, chop money, hospital, clothing, telephone, television, electricity, waste disposal, security dues, salon, vacation, water, generator, vehicle etc.
In frustration, you abandoned your duty post and homes fell apart. Who can accuse you of negligence of duty?
We miss you dearly and hope that you will one day discard your new found ‘money-chasing’ vocation and return home to shrink the number of hoodlums and harlots on our streets. Turn this hope into reality for the sake of our children who now endure the tutelage of house helps and domestic servants. They want to spend more time with you – to see you before they retire to bed and when they wake up in the morning. They need your love, care and warm embrace. The naïve activists assume that your profession is obsolete and no longer valid. Time has proved that you are not ‘sidon dey look’ as insinuated by naysayers.
I salute your noble profession! You may not own a fat bank account but you are worth unquantifiable billions in raising world leaders. Despite your shortcomings, your advantages abound.
A toast to the ‘stay at home mom’ that has strengthened families in times past. A toast to the unsung heroine who instill family values and good character on children. Thank you for sacrificing your income, career and the spotlight for the good of all concerned.
Your admirer

*A womans place is no longer in the Kitchen!.
Stella, what about we dat are still single and nt married yet.... When is our own day? Sincerely, these women are trying. I can't be a full house wife, nt in dis country.

ReplyDeleteDear God! Bless me enough to afford a cook sef when I marry coz this money ii must pursue am o, I'm never going back to poverty and mediocre life, In Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteSay what u like y'all. The kitchen ain't no place for me enough to stop the struggle coz no be Ashawo I take dey survive o and ii don't plan to marry and shift all my burden on a man. That's if one even finds a wealthy young man to marry her in this town not to mention All this million naira rent&car girl dey use for this abuja. God plz o my pact with u is to succeed
What kind of *song* is this? House wife *profession* is out of the question in this epileptic economy. I suspect this *song* writer has been plagued by 'ATM' women in his relationships that he's praying and hoping for what even grandmas would frown at. He needs to get out more. That's why I marvel each time I remember women like my mum, a great nurse, who kept her home intact regardless of the stressful nature of her job.
ReplyDeleteTo all married ladies out there, your home is the most important part of your life. But make sure you support it financially with your spouse. Your kids will NEVER forget this. Nothing like house-wife in this case biko. The world has changed drastically for only one person to cope with family demands.
We also have HOUSE GIRLFRIEND.

ReplyDeletewinifred, Victoria will present a thunderous face if that happens. Lol
DeleteMaybe my husband of 12 years read online that it's housewives day today. He actually brought me breakfast in bed and has told me to relax as he will take care of the house and kids today. I dey fear o. But I go relax enjoy am. Thanks for appreciating the " nothing" I do all day. Just hope he can cope.
ReplyDeleteNot easy to be a house wife. With all these unfaithful men. My mum was one. We go soon celebrate world wayward men's day or cheaters day.
ReplyDeleteIs good we are celebrating housewives today, we have celebrated runs girls and runs women enough.
ReplyDeleteHappy Housewife Day to all housewives. You could work from home and earn good cash online or have a business of your own (being your own boss) to enable you manage your time/kids/home/personal stuffs and all.
ReplyDeleteBeing a wife and mother + holding up a good home front isn't a day's job.
God bless all wives and mothers.
God bless you and stella for recognizing us. Infact the only difference b/w the woman in the picture.and me is that she is oyibo and i be naija woman.NO house help
DeleteWinifred Mathias do you think Memphis is a homo?
ReplyDeleteWe dey try.truly I won't advise anyone to be full-time house wife.perhaps is becos my own supposed husband has eroded me of dignity.he says he is a pastor but treats me like a piece of rag.he appreciates other women and even eulogized them in front of me.Am a graduate and havent earned a dime by myself in 17 years..am searching seriously for a job,I will just fashi him and .face my kids...you need to hear mr husband pray..wicked man!..iya sunshine.
