One of the many joys of marriage is that you begin to see funny patterns in the various conversations you have with your spouse. Welcome to Episode 1 of the Things NaijaHusband Says Series! Inspired by the Things Guys Don’t Say and Things Black Girls Say memes.
Episode 1: Misquotations
NaijaHusband: *Going on and on about his dream job* “…And I hope they give me an official car complete with a driver and new house…in fact I should demand it!”
NaijaWife: “Well…why not just wait and get the job first before you plan on which demands to make.”
NaijaHusband: *Reflecting* “You’re right. I shouldn’t run before we get to the end of the show.”
Long Pause.
NaijaWife: “Um, I think you mean…’Run before you can walk.'”
NaijaHusband: “That’s what I meant. Otherwise I’m leaping before dancing.”
Even Longer Pause.
NaijaWife: *Sigh* “You mean you want to look before leaping?”
NaijaHusband: “That’s it! But like I was saying…it’s probably not best to focus on the money. After all money is the root of all pride.”
NaijaWife: “The love of money is the root of evil…”
NaijaHusband: “Are you asking me? Well… yes obviously! If I don’t take care and start feeling too proud, they won’t even want to hire me. So I’ll need to temper my demands because ‘pride comes before you stumble.'”
NaijaWife: “….’Pride comes before a fall’…are you doing this on purpose?!!”
NaijaHusband: “Doing what? Madam I.T.K. don’t kill me with grammar…. I’m going to bed. There’s clearly ‘no rest for the weary’ in this house.”
1 minute later
NaijaWife: *After looking it up, shouts at his retreating back* “No rest for the wicked!”

One acronym comes to mind after reading this: IKIA – Naija Wife, the Insufferable Know It All! 😀
You guys are sweet by the way. Love your blog. Stay sweet.
@Emilia; No oh! It’s SKIA the “Suffering” Know It All. Trust me, we really suffer and would rather not HAVE to make the corrections at all, especially when the man (or person) in question is undeniably intelligent. But alas, marriage is (and has to be) a complementary institution.
Lol!! This is pure comedy.. Love your blog!
Hilarious! My sides are aching with laughter in the middle of a work day. You 2 are the winner
Lollll. Very,very funny.
