A young lady has stirred reactions on social media after saying that in Igbo land, a woman is considered a wife material based on the level of suffering and pain she can endure.
She made it clear that by such standards, she does not see herself as a wife material.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the lady narrated her personal experience when her man visited her parents and later when she went to visit his family.
One part of her video that caught the attention of many was the caption she wrote: “I don go my house, when you ready to marry carry your mama come beg me.”
Sharing her story, she explained that when her man came to her home, she assisted her mother in cooking food, while her father provided drinks to entertain him.
According to her, he was treated like a king. After he finished eating, she passed his plate to her siblings to wash, and together they tidied up the house, showing him warm hospitality.
But when it was her turn to visit her man’s family, the experience was very different. She said his mother asked her to go into the kitchen to cook for the entire family.
After the meal, she was also instructed to wash all the plates that everyone had used.
The lady expressed her displeasure, saying that if being a wife material is measured by how much pain and suffering a woman can take, then she is not one.
From the caption and her tone in the video, it appeared she may have left the man’s family house in anger.
