My response to Joro Olumofin's How to Identify a Wife Material

As I was going home yesterday, this Joro's post caught my eye on Instagram. As I was reading it, it became apparent that I'd respond to it.

Ladies, some of you will crack your ribs at some of the things he wrote.

Read below.  Joro's how to identify a wife material is in black while my response is in blue.

1. She attends church every Sunday and also mid week service

SMH.. I don’t go to church every Sunday and I don’t think I attended mid week service more than 5x my whole life. I completely disagree

2. Selflessness ( Offers to pay the bills on a date, pays her own transport fare.

I sort of agree. 

3. She must be a virgin or at least have 2 body counts

 Are you Joking? Are u a virgin???? Have you slept with only 2 girls your whole life? What's Body Count sef? Did I kill somebody by having sex with them?

4. Luxury Lifestyle is secondary not primary to her

I agree

5. She should be able to pray for a least 45 minutes straight and fasts at least 3 times a month

Pastor Adeboye things… Go and marry a Deaconess na!

6. She has remedy for your flaws ( smoking, drinking)

SMH… remedy for a man’s flaws …. Please why can’t the man be man enough to sort out himself? Bull shit.

7. Any lady who doesn't care if you live on the mainland or island ( she loves you in Egbada, Mowe, ibafo)

I care where my man lives… I can’t move to Mowe/Ibafo when I work on Oko Awo Street, Victoria Island

8. She is not suffering from Aso Ebi syndrome I.e ( she can do without buying aso Ebi for 5 months )

I don’t agree.. Even you buy Aso Ebi for every occasion? So what’s the big deal if I can afford it?  

9. Social media followership / Validation means nothing to her

I agree… Too many social media madness nowadays

10. She spends 65% of her time indoors (Not every Friday / Saturday / : Quilox, Sip)

I spent 90% of my weekends out when I was younger and I’m glad I did… Don’t judge a book by its cover!

11. She doesn't demand a table when she goes to club ( she is willing to stand by the bar with her man and drink "red bull")

True say… I partly concur… You too don’t date expensive babes… Abi? Na by force?

12. She doesn't mind if your car has AC or not

Hell yea, I care if your car has AC or not. My car has AC.. I love AC. No one likes heat. No one was born to suffer in a hot car in that traffic city … Lagos

13. She is willing to fly economic class

I agree…Economy class any time any day.

14. She doesn't have to do an A-list wedding.. (She is content with a budget wedding)

I agree. The wedding isn’t the main thing. Marriage is the Koko

15. Family means a lot to her

I agree. A woman has to be homely.

16. She doesn't abuse alcohol and or any other substances and she doesn't have more than 1 tattoo

Alcohol yes… But Tattoo… What's the big deal in having a tattoo??

17. She doesn't have more than 2 phones

Individual differences. I personally can’t use more than one phone. I will lose the second one. Not a fan of two phones.

18. She doesn't care about the color of your passport

I partially agree… The passport helps at times.

19. She is not tribalistic ( Love is love to her )

I agree. Everyone is equal. No tribalistic behaviours.

20. She must know how to make at least 10 of these Nigerian dishes ( Ofe nsala, gbegiri, efo riro, edikaikong, banga and starch)

Are you kidding me Joro? Can you cook all that? Do you want to a marry a wife or get a cook? Pls answer!

21. She has not been involved in any social media drama

I don’t agree… Everyone isn’t a socialite. You were in a social media drama in Feb with Gbemi. Does that mean a lady shouldn't marry you? Or not a husband material?

22. She should never expose nudes or send nudes on social media , twerking, sex tape)

I think I agree but a girl can make mistakes. Look at Kim Kardashian today!

23. She should not have more than 10000 followers if she's not a celebrity or stylist, makeup artist.

Why is everyone so social media crazy sef?

24. She should have at an Hnd, Bsc or a vocational skill ( makeup, cooking ) *NO LIABILITY*

I agree… A woman must have her own money

25. She won't have sex on the first date

What? Will you say you’ve never tried to have sex a lady on a first date? And you guys did it? Does that make a her a whore. We are adults baby! Anything can happen. 

26. If you're dating she should call your mom at least once a week

Why? Then you will say she’s too forward and She wants to trap you. Ladies, call your mum in law as often as you like after you guys are married o jare.

27. She must have "daughter / father" relationship with her dad if her father is still in the picture

Whatever.. How is this even a criteria?

28. She should not have professional makeup done at every outing ( cinema : professional makeup ??)

Girl, if you can afford it please go ahead! Don't mind Joro.
