"My sons, don't marry a lady who cannot cook. She needs to know how to do chores and cook because you cannot afford to be eating out all the time."

This has triggered a lot of people reactions on social media, is like people are already waiting or saw this coming.

Anyone i marry must go to a catering school first during our marriage classes and graduate with a certificate. The purpose is to try out my belly with a variety then find some i can classify as favorites then we are cool. I love good food.

Message to the junk ladies...

And abeg he is referring to the native recipes/cuisines.

We are not talking about some food that look like flower decorations in nairaland food section...


Come lalasticlala, dominique and mynd44 this one deserves a well furnished duplex in the promise land o....

How would anyone not even know how to cook...........it's just like saying you don't know how to do laundry yourself.

Hehe this kain talk dey enter. some parents no raise pikin aswear.

feminists will be on high rage upon seeing this advice from daddy G.O.
If my wife can't cook. fine! I'll go and eat outside and that will lead me to honourably cheat on her with the cook outside. The surest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

The advise is not for everyone.
He was speaking to his ‘sons’
Those who think differently can pass by and avoid getting involved with his sons.

He also never said the woman MUST always do the cooking.

As for me,a woman that can’t cook is a security risk to the livelihood and well being of my children.
I enjoyed my mother’s meals as a child and I still do anytime I visit her and she rose to the peak of her career as a professional in the health sector with multiple qualifications likewise many women I know.

In a proper family setting, there’s a special place for the food prepared my the woman.
My children have a right to enjoy same or better.

I can always take care of myself without some woman cooking for me but these wack comments denigrating the old man is completely unnecessary and shows a fundamental error in how most young folks in this generation have been raised.

first time I am agreeing with this man

Aside love, the stomach is another way 2 catch a man.

Food is very vital!

Many of the criticizers lacks comprehension skills. Because Adeboye said that his son(s) should not marry a lady that cannot cook does not imply or should be understood to mean that his son doesn't know how to cook, or that cooking is primarily a woman duty.

As an analogy, if a man says that he will never marry a woman that is not a working class, does it mean that he is expecting that she will be the bread winner and leach on her? Of course not. He could be working and wants someone that compliments his lifestyle.

Many are schooled, but few are educated.

Me that don't joke with food.

If you cook potty I no dey chop! this wan no be "babe you don't appreciate my efforts" matter..No pretence here madam your food no sweet, I dey go iya ruka side go chop I dont want wahala this nite

My wife must know how 2 cook something

Nonsense, if you yourself go to a catering school to satisfy our belly or whatever nonsense you typed, will you die

You are a junk nuisance if you don't know how to cook.

The world will be a better place if everyone realises that a particular chore isn't solely designated to a particular gender.

Pls i know you are damaged and bitter, deranged and non compos mentis. Don't u ever quote me again u hear. My prayer every day is to never end up with a woman like u because that will be my greatest undoing. I see ur thoughts here and i am convinced that if ur husband or whoever that ends up with u have not committed great sins God wont be sending them a punishment like u as a partner

My woman will treat me like a king because i am a king and i will treat her like a queen. Now get lost.

Lmao, you are the one that lack comprehension skills, Adegboye said "sons" not "son" and if you know his style of preaching, you'd know he is referring to men generally, so tell me, how many of these "sons" do you think he'd know of that can cook or can't? He is talking of men and women generally dude,

Next time, do not be in a haste to type thinking you are smart when you're not even the tiniest bit, mister educated and schooled.

Now, let's compare the years. Pastor Adeboye that has been married for over 53years his giving u advice on marriage, and our slay mama Toke Makinwa who was happily divorced after 3 years in marriage is dashing hers too. Chai! Experience beats it all. But he devil is a liar.

I believe in fairness and equality i don't cheat and i live by the golden rule. My dad gave his all and i was brought up in an environment where i saw my dad give everything he has every single thing for the sake of the family and my mum is very proud of him and me too.

Dude I don't need your family history, you can move on now.

The thing about men eating out has nothing to do with their wives kitchen weakness.
There's something diabolical about this foods sellers a man can't overcome.

That's how I'd spend time to prepared a good delicious meal, only to dropped it down and vroom! I'm out with cooler queuing up at Iya Kamaru's Buka to get beans and bread under sunshine, rain and harmattan.

Anyways, I just need my future's wife to be in low cuts, a good f##k, better f##k and a best f##ker.
I don't worry about kitchen cuz no woman on earth cooks better than me, thanks to my mom.

I chose to use the word "son", to personalize it to him, it was intentional, not due to lack of comprehension. Having said that, how does his usage of "sons" invalidated what I previously wrote ?

And no, he is not referring to women also, but only men. This is clear from his usage of the noun "lady" and the pronoun "she", it can not be mistaken or gives chances for misinterpretation. If he had used non gender specific words such as "partner", "someone", then you may have a point.

Before you rush to criticize, you may try to seat back and read thoroughly for understanding.

Women deserve better cook as husbands too.

Cooking isn't solely for a gender.

Lazy men will always sit and watch their wives cook while they do nothing to help.
Nonsense. Na hunger go kill you laslas

You too, you get lost. I hope u understand me clearly, just there are so many like you now and it's scary. I hope every man finds time to repent of their sins to avoid these punishments.

This is funny, him saying "a lady" means he is singling them out one by one, isn't it clear as day? Remove non gender specific whatever cos he already mentioned "sons", Or why will he have said "partner" when they are not married? Or do you think Adegboye preaches or believes in boyfriend/girlfriend and relationships? Like i said, this is how he preaches and refers to young ones so stop trying too hard, you lack understanding here.

But it's not fight na, I only said you should move on, seems you live a sad life, it is well with you.
