nobody

I clocked something.. Rent is always paid for, nobody notices that the DSTV subscription hasn’t gone off since, nobody notices that the kids haven’t stayed home since they started schooling, nobody notices how the cooking gas is always filled when it finishes, notice how there’s always light in the house even with the crazy units, there’s always fuel in gen when there’s no light. Nobody appreciates the Man SPECIALLY for all these.. it’s seen as “that’s his job”.. he gets no special props for it. . . . . But the moment you ask why there’s no food in the kitchen and/or why the kitchen is dirty.. It becomes “You think it’s easy to cook and clean, appreciate and support her” Women want appreciation, support and incentives for their roles, while a Man wanting support for his own role is “not Man enough”. + When the Man supports her role, “He’s doing it for his family” When the Woman supports his role, “She’s doing it for HER MAN”(and not for the family) These are the issues… Men need to clock so many things and start speaking up more to regulate these narratives… we can’t continue keeping quiet.. na beg I dey beg una.
