�WHAT ARE GIRLS LOVE TOWARDS BOYS?

Girls love towards boys is only, to eat them and
get their needs from them, mostly to get clothes and
money because with out clothes girls can not be regarded.

a
Infact, apart from natural beauty of a girls appearance aod dressing I can say that all girls are one,
whether tall or short because they have the same oatural body and shape no one wi:h double sex.

There, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, men
and women those who are interested in love marking
and friendship. Don't love because of cushion chairs
and iron beds or wealth. For such is not natural love.

There are some lzdies and girls who are fond of
that by going to a boy or a man's house telling him, I
love you there by snatching every penny from him.
They like to sit on cushion chairs and drink the man's
money, as they are drinking they are demanding shoes
and other costly things from the person. If the person
fails to meet up, they run fortyforty, from the person.

�WHAT GIRLS LIKE TO GET FROM BOYS
Girls of this time are girls with bad fashion of manner. They like to make friends with boys but the very.
motive behind their desire to make friends with boys
is most regrettable. What does our girls need from boys
and men io general ? And what does boys need from
girls and women in general ? Girls need money, cloth,
sweet, gold, wrist watch, etc., from boys and, men in
general. But boys d o not need much from girls and
women. Tbey need only love and sincerity from women.
Girls like to dupe boys and men. This has made
boys to lose confidence in their so-called "Sweethearts'
No reasonable boy trusts.his girl friend at this bad time
time of dishonesty, insincerity, jealousy and wickeness.
Who are those that girls like? In my opinion,
those people are Car owners, top Civil servants notable
business men and ocher people in high and recognised
profession.
Do girls fike ruck pushers, load-carriers, labourers and other pzople in pet:y jobs? Girls d o nor like
this people because they can't meet up with their frequent demands.

BEGGING O F MONEY
One of the ncmerous deplxzble thin;!? which ocr
girls do, is begging our bojs mon:y especinly at Bazaars. This is very bad. It indtieces $om1? our boys to
of
steal fiom people i n order to buy tkings for girls at
Bazaars. Girls likc to attend Eazaars,

�THE LIFE OF GIRLS

Let us look into the life of'girls. A boy who is
born the same day with a girl shall be stronger than
the girl but the girl shall be more diplomatic and cunning than the boy. When a girl likes you, you shall not
know because she shall pretend as if she dislikes you.
A girl can resist an attraction of a boy but a boy will
hardly resist the attraction of a girl.

GIRLS ARE PRETENDERRS
Girls and women in general, are pretenders. They
are diplomatic and trickish. They will see men they
like but instead of showing that they like men, they
take off their eyes and pass. They will want the men
t~ approach them first. Our boys are too weak in resisting girl's attractions. Whenever a boy sees a girl he
likes, he starts a: that spot to show the girl that he likes
her too much. He cannot just pretend that he dislikes
the girl. It is because of this weakness of our boys n i
resisting the attraction of the girls that have made the
girls to be bluffing and duping our boys.

MY .ADVICE T O YOUNG BOYS
I. Please my;dear fellow men let me tell you the money which you will give to harlots you better use it for
dressing or to use it to for food because giving it to
them has no profit rather you loose your mor.ey and
energy.

�2. Infact, they are butterflies and we are theirflowers.
They can comb and suck us at any time rhey feel like
doing so, not minding us whether we are dying or not.
3. Another thing is this, however a woman is rich
unless she gets a penny from a man she wi!l never be
satisfied in her life. You know women are pests and
they are bent on sucking the men until1 he becomes
tried if he doesn't take care.

4. When will it be good for us to marry? Now listen.
It is not good for us to marry at a very old age, and
at the youngest age. Really we should marry at the ripe
age so that we may enjoy the benefit of marriage.

5. It is good f a us t o marry between the age of thirty
t o thirty-five years, by that time wz might have got
some dresses and some few shillings to manage the
family.

I

I

6. Really to marry an expensive lady is a risk because
the woman can never think of: helping the man ~n any
way at-all. Rather she will be interested at remaining
in the house from morning till oight because her husband has money and can maintain her very well.

7. Ofcaute, really, women are very fond of pride also
with their sweet mauths and beauty are, just like dead
bodies of which if you keep on crying according to
how they keep their faces, you will be tired of crying.

�LOVE

LETTERS

Let us read some love letters being written by cjur
girls and boys. Tke first letter rezds thus:Bentric: Okoye,
Sacred Heart School,
Okija.
21st'Nov. 1960.

M~ dear Sweetheart,
As I have occasionally told you that you are my
dearest as far as love is concerned, it is my kope t t a t
you will appreciate this word

.

Please my sweetheart the Xmas. is fastly coiing,
and I have nothing to celebrate it. I would be grateful
if you could purchase me one 'beautiful hand watch
and size 6 "Lama,. thee from 'Bdta Shoe Company.
This shoe is the latest model. It cost £3 : 15s Od (three
pounds fifteen shillings )

. I hope my dearest, that you will try to buy ihese
things for me. Other boys have been begging ine to
tell them my needs for theni to buy them for me. I
bluntly refused to tell them because. I know they
are coming for freicdship. 1 have believcd in you and
no other person in spite df big offers gift from 0th:;
boys.
.Yours.
most aflectionate,
" Be3ty "
Cornmt: T5.e above is a very bad letter. Where
will the boy written this letter get the money to buy
ail these things for Beatrice Okoye. Thc b ~ himseif is
y
a rciiool boy bur the girl fails to rea!ise this.

�Here is the second letter from a girl-student to her
boy friend. The girl is Mabel Obiageli Uchendu. She
writes to Boniface Odita.
-- Federal Grammar School,
Lagos,
22nd January, 1961.
My dearest ~ o d n ~ ,
,
POCKET MONEY
I am badly in-need of pocket money, please send
me five pounds as quickly. as posgble. Last time you
promised me ''heaven and earth" but no single one
you did fulfil. You see I don't want such a thing. If
you could send me this E5 (five poundsb I will forgive
you for the unfulfilled promise. I want to hear from
you at the earliest time.
Yours,
"You know"
Mabel Obiageli Uchendu.
The next letter is the reply of Boniface Odita to
his girl friend; Mabel Obiagcli ,Ucbendu. His letter
reads.
St. Augustine Grammar School,
P. 0. Box 18, Ogidi,
E. Nigeria,
30th January, 1961.
My dearest Mabel:
.
I have received your letter dated the 22cd January,
1961, 'but regret to inform you that I have no money
to give you. The sum of £5 ( five pouuds) is too much
and I cannot afford it.

�I think you suppose to know or realise that I am
a student like you. I do not work, and please Mabel,
where will-I get five pounds to give you ?
I myself is badly in needof pocket money. I have
requested my brother for a sum f 2 but he has not replied my letter. I will never deduct f d to dash any
person. I have many things to d o with money but 1have
no money.

With reference to the "heaven and earth" promised
you alleged to have been made by me to you I never
made any promise to you. Why will I promise you
when I am not employed? Please I am a student and
I have n o surplus for friends, and in my opinion. gift
is not a basis of our friendship.

I beg to close.

Yours,
"You Know"
Bonny Odita
Senior Prefect.

Coment: Bonny Odita is a sensible boy. He deserves
congratulation. His reply to his so-called 'dearest"
Mabel Obiageli Uchendu, is the first of its kind. If it
were some foolish boys, they would sell theirtext-books
in order to have money sent to their girl friends.
Our foolish boy-students should emulate the resp-'
,
onse of Boniface Odita to his girl friend who stupidly

�requested her follow student to send her the sum
of £5 ( five pounds ).Mabel, I ask you here, where
will Bonny get this five pounds to send to you? Is
he working? Or do you want him to steal or sell
one of his property in order to have money and
send to you? You are a bad girl.

T H E STORY O F GEOFREY AND ALICE

�Alice What will you do with name ?
Geofrey Just to know your name and
Alice I don't tell boys rpy name.

Alice I have earlier discovered what you are after
Now you have finished your own questions it is
my turn lo query you to my satisfacuon, before
1 could say Yes or No.

me and yourself.
Gecfrey I am happy now that you have agreed. 1
have got what i-want. 1 will be very sincere to you
and myself. I will visit you on next smday after
morning Szrvice.
Alice

Okey
( They depart )

Before telling further story about Alice and
Geofrey, I will like t o tell my readers that Miss Alice
was a good !iar 'by telling Gecfrey that hei parents
were Barristers. She deliberatly wanted to impress Gea
frey too much. The parents of Miss Alice were poor

�Her father was a labouer under Public Works Dee
partments, Aba. Her mother sells pepper in the market.
It was therefore a blatant lie for hliss Alice to claim that
her parnts were lawyers. She wanted to elevate herself.

O N THAT SUNDAY
When the Sunday reached Geofrey visited Alice
but to his greatest surprise, he met three gentlemen in
the house of Miss Alice. Earlier Miss Alice did not agree that she had any other boy friend. The three gentlemen were too annoyed when Geofrey arrived. They
frowned their faces.
When Geofrey greeted them, they hestitated and
reluctantly responded. Geofrey left them after some
few minutes with shame and grea disappointment.
Two days after this, Miss Alice visited Geofrey
and tolo him that those he met that day were her brothers who have earlier warned her not to have any
thing in common with any boy, and that was why they
were annoyed when then they say him. But Geofrey
being a sensible boy, disbelieved Alice and told her to
go away forever, acd this was the end of the two days
old friendship.
Coment : Our girls are not reliable and have very bad
manners. I wonder what is wrong with them. Some
fairly looking ones ate convinced that they are too
beuatiful acd for this, they become arrogant and
bluffing.

�But how can we stop our girls being proud and
bluffing7 It is a simple t'hing. If boys could rake off
their eyes from girls and stop to chase them, and start
t6 pretend when they see the girls, then the situztion
wilt change.
Girls in the real sense love to make friends more
than boys, but they have taken pretence to dupe the
boys.

I know that it will be very hard if not impossible,
for any boy to see a beautiful girl on the street and
take off his eyes, or pretend that he does not admire the
girl.
Girls will continue to make proud for boys forever,
hence I know that boys cannot control themselves.

,

I have not much in the meantime to say, till you reply
this letter.
Yours most affectionately,

My dear Chuks,
1 have the pleasure to acknowledce the receipt of
your letter dated the 16th J w e . 1961, but regret to inform you that 1 am not pleased on youi failure to enclose some gift.

�I was expecting that your first letter,should accompany at least f l : : (One pound) but to my greatest surprise, 1 received only but mere letter.
Please try to see that you send me at least E l
:
( One pound ) and one senior towel as soon as possible.

I am studing and I am sure that you are doing well.
in your work. I have heard all you said in respect of
the proposed marriage, with appreciation.
Your,

I n reply to this letter, Chuks refuses the the request as
it is untimely.

hly dear Maggy,
I have received yours dated the 16thJune, 1961.
and have to hdvise you to make application for the
withdrawal of that letter, as it is too unexpected, very
bad and criticisable.
Yours
Affecticnate C. Ubaduba.

�Comment: The above letter of Mr. Chuks to Miss
Maggy suits the quier letter of Miss Maggy. I wonder'
why our girls are madly after gifts, and if you fail to
give them the gifts, they will take offence. Maggy is
too foolish to have demanded money and towel within
only three days she started dealing with Mr. Chuks. This
type of thing provokes our attack and critic~sm girls

STORY FROM THE ARABS

A certain woman had a lover and her husband
came home unexpectedly, so sbe hid the lover in a
czllar. The husband had brought thirty artichokes
with him and he put them in the same cellar."
" The yoring lover ate one. The husband counted
,the artichokes one by one the lover gave them to him
and the husband thought it was his own hand lighting
upon them in the cellar."
" Realising that one artichoke was missing, the
husband searched the cellar and found the lover."
Who are you ?" he asked. ('1 am an artichoke"
replied the youth. The husband cried: What a cheat
the vegetable merchant was. He counted this fel1o.a in
as an artichoke. No wonder the basket was so heavy.'.

&lt;' He led the youth to the merchant, Gaying: 'How
did you dare weigh this man in as an artichoke. ! The
vegetable merchant took the lover by the ear and said:
'' How often have I told you only to let yourself be
counted as a turnip, never as an artichoke?'Then he
gave the husband another artichoke."

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN
Some young men who left their home-towns to
townships to strugele o r stramble for money, no longer
mean what they come for. They have started to do
nonsense. and spoil their nzlmes andthe names of their
towns.
These men lives luxerious lives, drick too much,
chase women badly and play with their business.

�When they close from Market or return from work,
the next place you will see them is in the bars and
hotels wasting their money there. They buy iron beds
and dash to harlots, pay their lodging fees but send
nothing to their parents at home. Their parents are
hungry and wear raggy clothes. This is a very, very bad
thing. One should remembr his parents and cated for
them, I am advising young men to stop bad lives and
mean their business. Don-t be spoilt by township life.
In the towaship. you wilbsee many thiogs. You
will see very beautiful women, you will see many
attractive things to buy, you will see different kinds of
people with their attitudes. It is your duty to choose
the type of life you would follow. If you make a wrong
choice of life, you are finished. Many people mock you
when it is time to d o so.

24 CHARGES AGAINST WIVES
Many wives today are doing very bad things. I am
annoyed with those type of wives and-declare wordy
war against them. Below are my 24 strong charges
them.
1. Some do not wake up in the morning to cook
what their husbands shall eat before gaing to market
or work.
2
.

Some wives do not cook afternoon food in time.

3. Some wives quarrel with their husbands over
chop money.

�They demand chop money too much in order to make
gain out of it,
4. Some wives do not clean .their houses instead they
follow children to soil every place.

5. Some business-wives do not help their husbands in
chop money and other expenses. They have money but
would not bring it out, instead they persist to worry
their husbands to give them money.

6. Same wives cook bad things and present to their
husbands.
7. Some wives are very careless, they rough handle
things, break plates spoil other things in the house due
to carelessness.

8, Some wives do not know how to please their husbands, instead they do annoying things.

9. Some wives would never one day by
wash the clothes of their husbands.

'' mistake "

10. Some wives tell lies to their husbands. When they
wish to visit their lovers, they till their husbands that
they are going to meetings.
11. Some wives receive poisons and give their husband. This is an unforgivable sin.
12. Some wives fight their husbands. This is a very big
diserpect and lack of fear. Wives who fight their husbands are irresposible aod do not come from good families, yhere respect, honour, and fear are io existence.

�13. Some wives ire very wicked, daagerious add take
their husbands to court.
14. Somz wives steal the moneyof'their husbands and
send to their people.
15. Some wives are very lazy and can't just struggle
to get a penny of their own. They. depend entirely on
their husbands.
\

16. Some wives a r e very much after dresses. When
they get money, they lavish all on buying clothes.
17. Some wives have long
every thing.

-

"

throat

" and appetite for

18. Some wives d o nbt look well after their husbands
during their sickness. They pray that their husbands
die so that they may become Governors o r the house
and have all the properties of their busbands.
19. Some wives are not satisfied with whatever their
husbands give them. They want the whole world to
be given to them before they would to sutisfied.

20. Some wives are disobedient. They can't just obey
any order. What their husbands tell them not to do,
they do it, and what their husbands tell them to do
they can never d o it. They do whatever they like and
4
please themselves.
21. Some wlves are cunning. Their husbands not trace
out their foot-steps. They are deep in their ways.

.

�22. Some wives love the money of their husbands and
hate heir husbands.
23. Some wives are too dirty. They don't wash their
clothes, their bodies and even extends their dirtiness to
the food :hey chop.
24. Some wives are attempting to control their husbands. and they want to be too free and go where ever
they like, and return to the house at any hour that they
like.
The above are the 24 strong charges which I have
levelled against some wives. I know that there are
many good wives. I even know some of them, but the
bad ones are by far greater in number than the good
ones. It is the duly of sensible women to call
meetings of women where the sensible women would
deliver lectures to less sensible women on husbandary,
and other domestic affairs.

WIVES OBEY YOUR HUSBANDSI!
I shall continue to criticise some wives until they
mbo some change of hearts towards their husbands. I
see no reason why a wife should not respect and obey
her husband. Wives obey your husbands.
In order to be Moderate in criticism, I have the
pleasure to offer wives tbe opportunity to defend themselves with regard to the charges made against them.
Send your counter - statements or defence to the
Critic Writer, Mr. Nioku.

�Publications 17 Nnewi Street, Onitsha, for consideration and publication for our readers to see and
judge the whole matterfor themselves.
Before the 24 charges were made, our Critic Writer,
made a through inverstiga!ion or inquiry into the general attitudes of wives towards their husbands, and
.discovered that many wives have been behaving in a
manner capable of annoying their husbands.

1 don't say that men have no faults at all ,as
human beings. thev havt . but not serious as that of
rroublesome &amp;d wbrrisome women. Men are more
reasonadle and considerate than women. This is an
indispuable fact.
Women should not be annoyed for the24ture
charges made against them, because it is better to
expose evil things than to cover them.

MY CHARGES AGAINST WOMEN ARE
JUSTIFIED
Some women may think that I am intentionally
criticising them. I have no hatred or malice against
any body. My criticisms and chargzs against women
are justified. Some sensible and wise women know that
my charges against their fellow women to change.

WIVES CAUSES TROUBLE IN THE HOUSE
\
Wives use to cause quarrel and trouble in the

house.

25

�They annoy and provoke their husbhds. Some
business wives use to return from market very late.
They close in time but instead they would return straight to their house, they go to another place and then
return very late in the evening. This late returning is
capable of annoying husbands and make them suspect
their wives.

-

WIVES WHO COOK AT LATE HOURS
The wives who have formed the habit of cooking
at late hours keep their husbands hungry to any time.
They present morning food by 10 a. m afteanoon food
by 3 p. m ,and night food by 10 p. m. This is a very
bad habit and should be stopped right away. It is dangerous to eat at late hours.

T H E LIFE . O F A MAN
The day that a man is born that he becomes a taxpayer. Before a man becomes somebody know that life
had turned him down several times and that he had
assed through hard ways. If a man remembers all
IS sufferings in life, man shall hardly "dash " out
any thing to somebody.

E.

A man who has no surporter does not stand in
time. Before he becomes somebody, it takes time and
"tog-of-war". But a man who has supporters does not
suffer too much and becomes somebody early.

�What makes some rich men not to give help to
people is when they remember how they suffered and
how nobody helped them.

THE LIFE OF A WOMAN
The day a woroan is born, that day she gets her
first ofice in the kicben. The life of a woman is not
hard as that of a man. A woman loves her child more
than any other thing. A woman hardly gives her husband her money but eas~ly
spends for hei child. Women
in general love their children more than their husbands.

POOR MAN HAS NO FRIEND
A poor man has no freind. His brothers do not
regarp him as somebody. No body is interested in befriending a poor man or visit him, and when the poor
man visits somebody, he will not be welcomed or chair
given to sit down, and the person he visits will think
that he comes to borrow rnoney:A poor man is disregarded and called a foolish man. Some people think
that a poor man has no sense and that is why he has
no idea to get money.

A POOR MAN RECEIVES 1NSU.LTS
When a poor man talks, it smells some people who
know that he can't pay £5 fine in a Court. A poor man
is shouted down when he stands up to taik in the meeting. No matter the age of a poor man; he is regarded
a s a boy, and he is sent messages as a boy.

-

�A poor man is humble, obedient, submissive yet
hated and receives insults which a rich man cannot
accept. A poor man wht n he sets trouble or case, runs
away because he has no money for care. A poor man
.
has a poor outlook because h h2s no maintenance.
A POOR MAN IS NOT LOVED BY HIS PEOPLE
A poor man has brothers, sisters, and other rclatives but ncne loves him becsuse he has no money.
He is n s t counted in number. They call him, "that
f~cJish man.'. The only true friend and brother that a
poor man has is God.

POOR MAN IS SENSIBLE BUT CAN'T BE
MADE A CHAIRMAN
A poor man eats whatever that is presented to him
became he has net his own. R e drinks wine any place
he sees it and render his service whenever called upon
to do so.

A poor man is told a word without a fear. witb
every. hop,: that he can't do anything. His highest
ofice in a MEETING is "provost
He can never on
earth be made a finacial Secretary or a Treasurer: 'There
is every fear that he will make use of any money
that enters his hands.

".

Whenever a-poor man visits a rich man, the rich
man would think that ths poor man comes to borrow
money

�H e will not like to see the poor man. When the rich
man sees the poor man coding, he gets inside the room
and tells his wife to tell the poor man that he is sleeping or not in the house.

WOMEN HATE POOR MAN
Women hate poor mm. A Woman knowing that

a man ,is poor she will not like his friendship and will.
give him no respect, When she sees the poor man
on the street, she takes off her eyes and passes. She
would not salt~tethe poor man. A poor man salutes
everybody even his junior in age, in order to be loved,
but this labmr is in vain. The more he salutes everybody the more people think that he is out to ask for
help. The poor man does nothing that pleases people,
only bicause he is p o x .

POOR MAN HAS NO GOOD CLOTHES
A poor man will see what he likes but lack of money will prevent him from buying the tbing. Heeats
poor food and things. His monsy is not enough to buy
fresh fish to cook a superb soup. A poor man does
not attend funclions because he has no good clothes.
Lack of good dresses prevents a poor man from attending cerraio places.
When a poor man through one way or the other
gets t h e money to marry and marries, the wife

,

�when she knows that her husband is poor, would cry
that her &lt;'God" has killed her because she know what
poverty is. The wife will dislike the husband and no
respect of any class will be given to him. A poor man
finds it very difficult to feed himself and his wife.
When a child is born difficulties will increase.
SOME WIVES FEED THEIR POOR HUSBANDS
Some wives of poormen feed their husbands and
pay their debts. A wife who feeds her husband controls her husband. She acts as the " governor " of the
house. The husband will just stay in the house as a
house boy acting on the order of the wife I have seen
a wife who slapped her husband without a sugcient
provocation simply because she feeds her husband and
pays the school fees of their two children.

A POOR

MAN FEARS A RICH MAN

A poor man borrows money a t any time, and
when he owes debt, to pay back will be a "tog-of war"
Slap him, money will not come out, kill him, money
will not come out. He has no money to settle the debt
and cannot do otherwise.
Poor man's Life: A poor man takes a rich man
as a demi god. He fears the rich man, respects him.
honours him, serves him and obeys his orders. A poor
man loves a rich man but a rich man does not
love a poor man. A rich does not want the

-

�friendship of a poor man. A rich man considers
that his friendship with a poor man will only profit
the poor man and have no hope of getting any thing
from the poor man.
What a poor man wants from a rich man is to eat
free of charge, drink wine free of charge and financial
help. He wants.support from a rich man, not knowing
that the rich man of nowadays is not satisfied with
his money, and that if he sees a way to take the little
that the poor man has, he takes it, without consideration or sympathy.
In order to avoid poverty one should early ,plan
for his life and work hard in order to succeed in life.
Have something doing or aimed at. Start early in doing things for time waits nobody.

WHAT ARE MEN TO WOMEN?
I.

2.

Infact, men are flowers and women are butterflies. When a butterfly sees a ripe seed on the flower it will go and enjoy the flower and when the
.flower fades away you will see it ffying away.
From this I shall have an opportunity to make

a little description of some women. If I tell you,
you will really feel that women are bad.

3.

Now listen, women are love, women are butterflies, women are the main road to the bank of
sickness, women are just like ice water for whatever you take to cover them, they must drop down
that nobody could catch them.

�4 Women are traitors. They are very dangerous and
very deceitful. Women and money are the evil nets of
the world. Women love mocey more than their lives
and they are the main roads to hell.
5 1 am telling you that women are very destructive in
their ways, actions and in their associations. Beware of
them.

6 In this world of government, women'are just as a
bone of meat which we do not know whether to swallow or to vomi: out- Infact women are very dangerous
to men's lives.
7 Look, men are monkeys and women are baboons.
Now according to what people have been saying, '"
mo.
nkey works and baboon eats." They remain in the
house and eat and become fat while we go out under
the rain or sun to find for their betterment.

8 We have come t o know of another thing, and that
is women are just like a servant serving his master who
does not care whether his master is poor or rich, but
what he knows is his money.
9 Such a servant is like a woman who wastes her husband's money in a uselzss way. Such a servant'who is
very ungrateful should be driven away to meet
with diffioulties.

THE BAD WOMEN
1. The bed women are those who do not care whether their husbands are poor or rich and the unsteady
ones are those who love another man than their oyn
husbands.

�Sdme of_ them can even kill their husbands fcr
aoother man.
3. Infact, inost of the bad women are witcherafrs anh
some' of them a r e d a ~ g x o u to men's jives if I start
s
to tell )ou how I knew them this ;small pamphlet will
be filled up. in'such a way that there will be no space
t o write other things

THE GOOD WOMEN
I The good women are those who think and reason
together with their husbands. They 2re ,those that
know when rheir husbands are poor and needy.

2. The .good women are (hose who struggle very hard
inorder. to help their husbands. They advise and comfort.their husbands when they are in trouble.
3. They fear and obey their husbands when they are
given order. They .a!ways try to make their busbar~ds
happy and to live comfortably tvith them in the house.
They like their husbands. whrther they havemonay or
not, infact they'are satisfied with the little they have.
4. They always make their husbands neat both h t h e
house and on t.he body. I have travelled to very many
rs
places where good women built houses, b u ~ ~ aacd
d o so many thmgs for their husbands.

5. ?/bese are whoin we cal1,the good women b:cause
they d o not care [cr their own way alone as the bad
women only care for thmselvrs alone:

6. Infa~t;~kindness,
sa'lut3tion acd good manners
bring love and. late brings help, mercy and long life. Is
there any woman who d m not kcow that her office is
the kitchen? Not all women know that very well.

�7. How many thousands of people can hold a market
from the beginning to the ecd? The answer is only
two people that is the man aild the woman. There
is no annoyance without a cause as you could see
with me.

8. You must know that there is no fire without smoke. Is there any good house without a solid foundation and preparation? No, not at-all. There is no good
building without a good financial background.
9. T o make a promise without fulfilling it, is just to
cut somebody's neck with a knife that is not sharp. S o
never you make a promise in vain.

LADIES PRIDE
1. Infict ladies pride is nothing to us but charm. 'Ob!
I am very sorry that my lady w ~ i h lips, round rosy
soft
face with pointed nose and deep blue eyes has broken
to yieces her solemn propise to me. I am very sorry for
a t such kind of promise.
2. I am exceedingly disappointed at the behaviour of
our ladies, this has shown me that the love of most ladies in the world lies on their lips. Afterwards what are
ladies love ?
Oh, my dearest friends, infact Z never knew that
some ladies love can fade from men just likedust in the
wind. Really some of our ladies and girls of nowadays
are just like a new house full of property.

3.

4. Some of our women are only good to remain with
their husbands inoder to satisfy their curiosity thatis
all. When a woman marries a man and the man is very
fond of the woman, the woman will be very glad to '
meet a such man who will be worrying herevery nigh.

.

�MY ADVICE TO HUSBAND AND WIFE

1. Really, there is no earthy Kindom between husband
and wife than the house where they live in peace and
there is no earthly hell between husband and wife than
when they have no food to eat.
2. Try to live in peace and harmony with your wife

whether you have something to eat or not and take
note that husband and wife have three great days in
the world which. we live.

3. The first is the day ofmarriage, the second is the
ripe age of thinking and the greatest ofall is the last
day of everybody and that is death. Whatever you do
remember the last day which is very important.

4. One's best child is one's best friend. Honesty is
*he best policy in life as I can see. Really so many
people have diffierent views and opinion, but be sure
that the fullconfldeoce you have in a shop or market
is the money in Sour pocket.
5. You know quite well that without money some
body will not regret you at all. So beware, before you
start to spend the little that you have in docket you
must first be sure that by all means you must replace it
6. Look, never you worry so much about yourself or
to mind for those rich men, because they can talk but
cannot do what they say. Infact, if you follow their
ways believe me you will find yourself in the prison
yard if you don't be careful. Remember that one who
is very careless while climbing a tree always has a sudden fall. Do not put your eyes on another man's property, but try to find your own livelihood.

,

�7. Please friends, mind how you play with ladies because their play will never end as if started with them.
Again, you should mind yourself cf how you play with
a married woman.
8. You should be afraid of those lip painted ladies
whom you look to be the most beautiful of all in this
country because they are very dangerious to men and
can come to your house and carry your properties
away.

9. Women are tongues which look very soft and yet
they can eat hot things; therefore mind yourself how
you mingle with them. Some of them who are married
can do something to help their husbands but some of
them are so st,uborn that they embark on wastiog the
husband's money. Harlots are better than such women.
10. Infact some of our young boys of nowadays are
just like an innocent dog which eats hundreds of eggs
a t a time. My dear young boys please try to cheek yourself inorder t o help you marry at the ripe age, because
t o marry early can make you not to be like your
fellows.
11. It is really a fact that some women are just.the
same thing, but remember that if you follow street and
public women you cannot marry your own wife who
can help you when you are in trouble.

12. Therefore, I am warning you strictly to be very
carefull about such women. Please try to respect yourself when you are talking before your fellow men so
that people may respect your words.
3 . A poor man's penny is his own pound. Really to
is
marry many .uvi\lcs good, but beware there is trouble
in it.

�It is really a fact that man who has so many children and wives is over-loaded but at last you will be
profited because 2 man who has no chi!dren is like a
blind man without a director.
14. I must tell you really that we d o not marry for
only to enjoy ourselves, but we marry so that may
get children and for comfort too. Iofact to marry in
the church is not hard, but to marry one that is of the
same opinion with you is hard but that is the best.

15. Again any woman who is married and does not
want to help her husband to become somebody must
conuted as one of the wastful and i~efficient
women in
life. I say you must be very careful for such women
who appear to be very dangerous.
16. A child who is greedy of food should be given a
bone of meat. Of course, to be a big man or money
man is good, but remember that big mam big trouble.

17. The way to get money is very hard, but it is very
easy to spend. Matches cannot light its self if you don't
scratch it and no person can see his back while he is
dancing, until another man sees it and tells him what
it is and likewise he cannot see the dirt on his face
until he applies for a looking glass.

18. A woman who marries a talkative and a drunkard
must know that she is not in tbe mood of wife to her
husband's happy like. but in the mood or thinkingand
sadness because of her husband crunkeness.
19; So it is with a man who marries a talkative and
palaver maker that man must know that be must be
wasting his money for his wife. So afiybodjj who is
marrying should first make thorough sc!ection before
he or she is married.
THE END.

                <text>In many ways this pamphlet is a continuation of the pamphlet '&lt;em&gt;Beware of women&lt;/em&gt;'. Although it does not declare war on African women, an Asian woman graces the cover. It advises boys not to trust their girlfriends because of their "habit of duping, bluffing and asking for much gifts from the boys," (pg.2). It declares that "it is a pamphlet that everybody should read for information, advice, wisdom and mental entertainment," (pg.2).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Despite this, it may be important to note that current Western relationship advice within popular culture (Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) uses axioms similar to Njoku's "&lt;em&gt;Men are monkeys and women are baboons,&lt;/em&gt;" (pg.32).</text>
