Dear men, when marrying someone who has never been married before as second, third, or fourth wife, do not treat her like someone who has been married before. She’s new to it, she’s nervous, and she’s entitled to tarairaya and memorable first times too just like every new bride🧵
Don’t continue making plans the way you used to without including her in them, she’s part of your family too and not a third wheel; include her in your plans so she won’t feel out of place. Don’t be nonchalant/carefree. Again, you’re the one who has been married before & not her.

Nollywood trying to forcefully make it acceptable for Muslim women to marry non-muslim men & making the muslim men in such movies look like beasts will never not be funny to me. When it comes to Islam, we’re people of “SAMI’NA WA ATA’NA”— we’re not complaining! Live and let live!
LMAO! I can see some people finally used all night yesterday to figure out how best to come under this tweet and hyperventilate, good for you all. All I’m saying is you don’t have to want to change another’s religion before you accept them as part of you;

This has got to be the most heartbreaking thing I’ve heard in a long time.... Who do we go to when the government is deaf to the cries of the people?! One of the #zamfaratwins abducted about a month ago in Zamfara telling their elder Brother they’re going to be slaughtered 💔
Someone translate this for non-hausa speakers interested for I don’t have the strength to do it 💔😭

It is often perceived that when a woman has a child she automatically ‘forgets’ about being a wife to her husband and ‘marries her children’. Let’s talk about this from the northern Nigerian or even generally Nigerian point of view, shall we?!
THREAD!!!
So, in our part of the world, a husband is ‘KING’ in the home and must be treated as such. This treatment of the king must be met to the last in order for a woman to be seen as a ‘good wife’ irrespective of whatever may be going on in her own personal life.
