Foods every good Nigerian wife should stock at home

Being a married woman in Nigeria is definitely no joke. This is because the society does not believe in women buying foods when they are married. 

You are expected to be able to make healthy meals for your husband and children. We cannot compare our culture and tradition with that of the western world where families eat out and buy processed meals.

Doing that does not work for our environment as you may run into debt before you know it. Another thing that will not make that practice survive in Nigeria is the fact that most eligible bachelors get married because they want to eat healthy and good meals while saving as much as they can.

What is the point of getting married when you end up spending more on bought foods? Nigerian ladies getting married are always prepared for the enormous tasks they may be facing once they are married.

There are simple meals Nigerian women are expected to be able to prepare without any itch. They are raised as super women who can multitask and see to the needs of their immediate family members. With or without money, every good Nigerian wife is expected to have some foods in her kitchen.
