Who should cook if she doesn't know how to cook? Look, a man can own a kitchen in all those oyinbo country, but in Naija, in Africa....that's the only place in the house where a woman has 100% authority.

Maybe you guys think that a statement OL'OBE LOL'OKO (A GOOD COOK OWNS THE HUSBAND) is not true. I also hear that THE ONLY WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH THE MOUTH.

Women: If you don't know how to cook, you'd better go learn it now.

And come to think of it, if a woman knows how to cook, then she must have learnt some manners too. So it's hard to see a good cook with bad characters.

I have a male cousin that is now married.  His wife is from Nigeria and my cousin is from Nigeria.  They still live in Nigeria.  The husband is the one that does all the cooking because he cooks better than his wife.  It works very well for them.  They opened a restaurant and the husband is the cook also in their business.

Life is changing.  It has nothing to do with foreign countries and foreign behaviour.  Whatever that works best for a couple is what they should implement for themselves regardless of what other people are saying or advising them. 

Men that cook better than women should be proud of themselves and there is nothing about men knowing how to cook that makes them less of a man.

My husband was from Nigeria and he knew how to cook better than myself and he taught me.

I have countless male relatives that cook for their wives or have taught their wives how to cook.  Both partners should endeavour to learn how to cook.

We take a vow that states in sickness and in health during marriage.  The man should know how to cook should his wife get sick and the wife should learn how to cook should the husband get sick also.

Share the cooking with one another, wash dishes together, clean house together, pray together, etc.  Doing things together are all part of spending time together.  The bedroom is not the only sharing place.  If you love me, help me around the house.  You make the mess also.

Hey pals!
Going by the norm/tradition on the part of the planet we're from, where it's believed that the kitchen legitimately belongs to the woman.

If we're to consider the definition of "COOKING" as defined below, Should it (cooking) be counted amongst the prerequisite for marrying a lady?

Defination:
 Cooking is the process of preparing food by applying heat, selecting, measuring and combining of ingredients in an ordered procedure for producing safe and edible food. The process encompasses a vast range of methods, tools and combinations of ingredients to alter the flavor or digestibility of food. Factors affecting the final outcome include the variability of ingredients, ambient conditions, tools, and the skill of the individual doing the actual cooking.

@ methodman
why would my brother ( who can make only indomie and fried egg) marry a woman that can't cook. You probably thinking, yeah thats what i thought. My question would be 'Did you not know that she is unable to cook before you married her?' ... men don't just wake up one morning and realise, omg, my wife can't cook, I'll starve to death. Only a stupid man will find himself in that situation... cos if you know u're getting married to someone who can't cook, u make plans, shes starts to learn, you buy a cookbook, get a cook,things are not going to change all of a sudden.

Food is very important, no food= starvation=death. My problem your question and a lot of the replies on here is that, you all giving the impression that a woman that can't cook is of lesser value than a woman that can cook... which i think is wrong. Being able to cook is a plus, that I can cook doesn't make me of better than a woman who can't cook. Being unable to cook doesn't make any one less a woman.

What you're saying is equivalent to saying...all women should marry rich men because men that are poor or unemployed can't provide and care for them. They will probably be poor for the rest of their lifes. Men are supposed to be the provider and money is very important, without money you can't even buy food, care for your kid... So ladies next time a man walks up to you, first thing you ask is ...what do you do and how much do you have in the bank? ...

Abby, ur argument is somehow one sided.
wat if the lady is the "spoilt" type that doesn't feel good with the stress in the kitchen...?

U're talking abt teaching her,bt wat if she isn't INTERESTED in the ART...?

A man could teach her or in the alternative, pay 4 lessons/convert a room in the house to a mini liberary with books on "COOKING"...wat if she doesn't find it cool going to the kitchen as many times as necessary?

Believe me,no lady can jst wake-up one afternoon and start cooking with such pleasure.
all these things and others are wat ladies should learn while they were growing up and 4get the ghost feeling that u can become a good cook jst by reading a book, etc...wasn't it someone that wrote the book(s).

Abt ladies and rich men that u mentioned;
believe me,women are the most selfish creatures...apart form my mum o!

Every lady knows why she's with the man she is.they (women) are always where they want 2 be at any given time T.except, there's an error in calculation.

if they want money, they go straight to the rich.
if they want a handsome guy,they're always with one.
if they jst don't want 2 be lonely,then they could go 4 any guy and certainly leave as soon as they find the desired guy.

So,if a lady is with a poor guy,don't think she's there sacrificially(except in some very few cases).

No man can have a lady that doesn't see any reason 2 be/fall 4 him.

that's why,when men woo ladies, they (ladies) need time to calculate wat the guy's prospects are.
this is the reason why rich criminals are parading/cruising with the best babes around.

For ladies of nowadays,comfort & good life come first,no negotiation...only a fraction of ladies count LOVE as a subject.

Guys can 4get all the stories.

Sister,

Wat if the lady is the spoilt/lazy type who feels her fingers are 2 precious 2 touch an onion...?

I knw of many ladies who'd prefer 2 invite friends 2 help them cook,with the excuse that "I jst fixed my nails" e.t.c

Also,some ladies prefer to cook once in 2 weeks & store in the fridge.....could such food (e.g soup) still be delicious...?not 2 even question the nutritive depletion.

We should encourage young ladies to learn while they're still with their parents,rather than waiting 4 the uncultural intervention of a "cook book".

Thx.

Hey guys lets get serious here. Is it actually food a man would require in a woman in other to put her in his house? (hell no). Our mother used to tell their daughters in the good old days that, "the secret to a man's heart is in the belly but, i bring yoou good news today and counter that saying  because the word as we all know has gone global so also demands have followed suit.
Any man who would marry a woman all because she is a good cook must be a glutton. Does that mean that, men would no longer get married all because, they miss their mother's magical touch in their bellies?
Lets get personal now the secret to a man's heart nowadays is actually below the belly (if you know what i mean there).
This days men have been really useful in the kitchen and according to research, the best cooks or chefs are actually men. Should a man starve himself all because his wife is not back from work? People of God...... wots your say?

It is more than necessary for a woman to know how to cook knowing fully wel that the way to a man's heart at time is the food outside the good quality of a woman if she can;'t cook very well... she should be ready to loose her husband or better still go to a school that is meant to teach her how to do so... Cooking a good caterial for marriage that is my recommendation.

It's good for a lady to know how to cook cos a way to a mans heart is through his stomach.
