It is to complete our properties. 5 Wife makes us big man. 6 Wife gives honosr, respect and happiness. 7 Wife avoids useless expenditures. 8 Wife makes us to be wise. So marry the girl you love and who loves you for such marriage lasts and brings good luck and high happiness. FOR GIRLS 1 Girls .marry in order to get children. 2 To satisfjr the natures desire. 3 A husband gives honour, respect and happiness because "A woman's pride is husband". 4 It is a pressing debt that every girl should pay. 5 It has been noticed that girls depend upon husbands for their needs. 6 For safiy sake, m a r r i a g e they will because walk without about when �they are up to the age to get money to buy their needs. So, girls try to marry a boy you love and who loves you foisuch marriage lasts and brings high happiness and try to respect husbands because it is from them that your progress depends. And you should not forget that a woman's pride i s her husband. And a girl's pride is her boy friend, husband is your second father: and mother, Therefore honour and respect your husband more than your parents. Chapter 2 THE IMPORTANCE O F PRAYER IN searching for a girl to marry When the tbuoght of marriage comes to yoh begin to pray thrice a day so thHt the supreme being the God of Isreal. the God of Africa and the God of ,the world and above may give you a good wife. The wife who would love you, the wife who would be tolerant to you, the wife who would love your people, the wife who would come with good luck, a wife who would be quiet. intelligent, serviceable, sensible, mannerbd. The significaoce, of the prayer by a bachelor during his preparation for marriage is obvious. Without the prayer, one may be unfortunate �and make a wrong chcice. and then marry "another man's wife" whose destiny is incompatible with the person. A mistake in marriage is a danger in a man's. life. When you visit a wife and her husband who is not living well, you would hare marriage in its'entirety, but when you call at the house cf a husband and wife who hve with love, you would borrow money and r a r r y at once. Some wives are tqlkatives, quarrelsome, "over sexed" and troublesome and an obstacles to their husbsnd's progress, due to the wives' bad lucks. Any bachelor should pray against three things when gettang ready to choose a girl for marriage. Bachelors are warned to avoid mistakes in marriage as this kills the spirit and happiness of a husband. TO GIRLS NOW I now call upa'n the unmarried girls to pray three times every day * ~ h e e her marriage is soon-forth coming. You must pray to get a good husband a kind and sympatbetic husband, a husband who may love you and your people, a progressive husband, a quite and tolerant husbadd. The importance of the prayer by the spinster during the time he mainage is reaching is obvious. Failing to pray, you may get into the hand of an irresponsible man. Some husbands are inrresponsible and 7 �wicked. They treat their wives as house boys. Some get money but can't bring out enough chop money for tbeir house holds. The irrqponsible husbands prefer to show their wealth in hotels. They sterve tbeir wives. They cart't cloth their wives and they have the means. Somz of t,he irresponsible husbands are hot tempered. They beat their wives as if they are beating their servants. All this is the reason why any unmarried girl should pray to God so that, she may get a gentleman who is not igoorsnt cf the right and previledges of a wife. When you call in a home where a husband respects his wife, things use to go well in that family but when you visit a home where the husband terms any thing rhat his wife does, "woman sense" or woman affair" the public gathers every day to stop fighting in rhat family. Chapter 3 HOW TO APPROACH A GIRL FOR MARRIAGE Qne. When you see a girl, yon love to marry how will you approach her? Ans: I have to request a friend to accompany me to meet the girl, or 1 go alone. Que. What is the necessity of the friend's accompany to the girl? A&: To join me study the girl psychologiczlly. Qne: When going, how will you appear in dress? ADS: I have to dress very well. I will tidy my hair and keep my teeth very c I e a n. I will cut down the nails of m y . fingers �and toes, if any. Inshort, I will appear as a gentle boy. Que: When you meet'the girl what will you tell her? Ans: I will tell her all I can t o convince her, but will never boast of my self. First of all, I will introduce myself and my partner t o her. Que: But if unfortunately, she tells you that she has been engaged, what will you do? Ans: Then I have to go, without trying t o tell her to change her mind because of me. Que: If she tells you that she has not been engaged but has not made up her mind to marry, what will you tell her? Ans: I will ask her several questions and find out the reason why she has not wanled t o marry. Que: If a girl tells you that she does not like to marry you, will you beg her? Aos: God forbid! 1 will never beg a girl to marry me. Immediately, I discover that a girl is not interested or enthusiastic of my material approach, I will give up further approsch. Qee: If you meet a girl for marriage and she tells you that she wants t o think over your approach before saying yes o r no, what �will you d o ? Ans: I will welcome her thinking over it. I will give her time to think over. When I see that she is hesitating to answer yes or no, 1 will send a person who knows her very well, t o tell her the type of a person I am, and recommend me t o the girl. Que. Do you know that some girls need to be spoken too much before they may be moved to consent to a marriage? Ans: Yes, I know that some girls are to be told a lot of words before they can agree marriage. Some girls use t o reftlse marriages not because they don't know the characters of their approachers. It is there fore very important to get a middle man (intermediary) during an approach to a girl who don't know you. The duty of this middle man would be to tell the girl all about you. He is to praise and eleviate you before the girl. Que. If a girls demands some gifts from you during your approach t o her, will you meet up with the demands? Ans. I will not. I will regard the girl as a person with "long throat". But if the girl does not ask for the gift, I shall buy something for her voluntarily Que. In case you are attending R. C. M. and the girl attends Anglican Church, and she tells ycu that she will not marry you, unless you change �your religion, will you agree to change it? Ans: I will dot change it. If the girl refuses to .change her's then I forget a11 about her and look for another girl. Chapter 4 WHAT YOU MUST PO BEFORE YOU SEEK FOR A WIFE. Preparations for marriage. Qae: What preparatiens will you make if your marriage remains six mouths? Ans: I will gel sufficient dresses myself. I 611 furnish my house decently. I will try t o hzve some savings in the bank before the marriage takes place. Que: When the marriage has taken place, what will you d o ? Ans. I will send the girl to an advanced married woman for training in domestic science. She will stay about nine to twelve months with her. Que. After her training what will be the next thing? Ans: It is wedding, if at all you are prepared. Que: But if the girl has been trained in domestic science in her parents house, what other training will you give her? Ans: T h e n I have to live with her in my h o u s e . a n d she will be �ettending sewing institute rod after the course I will wed with her. Que: Will you like to miggle with her during this time she attends sewing institute? Ans. I shall not do so if nature helps it. I will not like her ro be pregnated while doing the course as her pregnaocy and delivery will stop her doing the sewing course. Que. That means to say that you will have the miod to forget all about sexual intercourse during her course? Ans. Yes, if nature can allow. Chapter 5 TO SIRLS NOW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON PREPARATION For Marriage. Que. When a man approaches you for maniage, what will you d o ? A w : If he comes, and it happens to be a person J like. l will ask her severel questions, after which I will tell her to give me about two weeks to think over ibe marriage but if the man that I don't like comes, 1 will tell him that 1 have been engaged. Que. But if he presses you too much to tell him yes or no at once? Ans: I must not answer him yes or no at that first approach, b e c a u s e I must satisfy my conscience quite alright and seek the advice �of my parents o r brothers before saying yes or no. Que: In case, you love to marry the man bu your parents or your brothers refuse, what will you do? Ans: Personally I'don't want to go against the advice of my parents o r brothers in marriage. If I love a marl but my people do not see with me, I will have no other alternative than to supress m y , love on the man. Que: What is the bad effect of a girl marrying a man her parents d o not like? Ans: If any dispute arises between the man and and the girl, the parents can never care about it, because the girl has gone contaray t o their warning. The man will then treat the girl as he likes since he has known that the parents are not in good terms with the girl. It is therefore not good for any girl to marry against the wishes of her people. Que. How will you live with a husband. Ans. I will love my husband, obey him, serve and help him. Que. In case your husband becomes hard on you, what will you d o ? �Ans. I will protest against it. Que: r u t if hs persists to be h ~ r don you, what will you d o ? Ans: I will call attention of my parents. Que: What step will your parents take? Ans: They will intervene and look into the matter. Que: But if after tbeir intervention and looking into the matter, your husband presists to be cruel t o you, what will you d o next. Ans: I will by this time know that a real trouble has come. 1 will consider the gravity of his cruelty on me, if it is bearable, then I can still live with the man but if it is not bearable. I will divource the wicked man. Que: Supposing that you have got up to three children for the man, will you leave the children and go away? Ans: Yes, 1 will leave the children and go away. It is not wise t o slay with the cruel men and die before the natural time because of the children. However I will be visiting the childrer! from time to time. Any time, I have money, I will buy some thing and send to the children. X will also be watching their interest, but I will not because of them, endanger my life, by staying with their father. Que: H a w will you train your children in case you are p e a c e f u l l y �livina with your huiband.

Qae: When your husband calls you what willyou answer him? Am: I will answer him "Sir" Infect that interests many husbands. Chapter 6 HOW 'I0 CHOOSE A GIRL FOR MARRIAGE It is hardly necessary for me to venture to ~uggcst to you what type of girl you may hope to,.marry, bearing' in mind the multi-coloured divergence of human views. Nevertheless, I will try to suggest to some of you for caution p u r p B s e, the probable pit falls which are often over looked b y anxious would ,be h u s b a a d �wheu choosing life partners. Prominent among there is the much talked of but equally often misconstructed choice of marrying beautiful charming girls. Nature. I am sorry to have to mention this, is so cunning in her workmanship that she lendssome sort of disgusting character-traits to those girls that are exceptionally beautiful such as stubborness, insurbodination; down right thick headedness and the like, while to those decidedly unpresentable, she allots submission, humility and obedience. It is to be clearly understood that either of these character-traits, for good or for bad, depends so. to girls coocerned. By this, I do not mean to advocate the acceptance of an ugly duckling for a wife. What I really.mean, is the danger, if it is a danger at all, of engaging a girl without bluffing and without provocating exchange of words. I must warn right now that if you are not an acceptable young man and are not well to do, ( a suicidal combination of two curses) please for goodness sake, do not under such circumstances, arrange for a very beautiful girl. She may condescend in a trick compliance with her parents wish to be your wife, only to change her mind after few months stay with YOU, for somebody else. �I cannot say more than this. Before you marry pray to God and think twice before you arrive at a decision. A well bred ugly girl, is of course more preferable to a charming b ~ stubborn thing. t In writing this, as I have done, I do not forget that it is the declared hope of so many bachelors to marry beautiful girls whose charming looks may be all enough to add a thousand sparks to the personality of their husbands in social circles, in all places 1 belong to this class myself. We must never forget also that a girl's ugliness could be tramsformed into a glamorous look if there is money. While beautiful girls stubborness is z disease to human being tact and diplomacy are employed in your dealings with such a wife. Before I conclude this chapter, I must warn again against the blindness of marrying a very young girl. This is dangerous and disadvantageous in several ways, which I think you already know, And lastly, in your choice of wife, find your standard. THE KIND OF BOYS MOST GIRLS LIKE TO MARRY Girls are really very funny while at Aba I amused myself a great deal by asking some of my girls t h e i r opinions a b o u t boys, w i t h 17 �panicular regards to their choice of boy friends, or in other words what type of boys they would like to marry. Their responses were so funny that I could not help laughing whenever I recollect some of them. I will now endeavour to record a few of their comments verbatim. Adamma said, "boys who are always cheerful and are ever ready to co-operate with life, with eyes on decency and attractive living apartment. Agnes said "I always admire thz company of young, handsome boys, 1 know I am not all that presentable, but I detest the compay of ugly looking young men. So I like to marry a handsome boy. Comfort said "I am prepared to get into the hands of any young man who is prepared and can satisfy my material desire and not one who claims to be extra-ordinaryly handsome, but scratches his head when I ask for a few shillings. Anna said " The young man who is social, sociable and intelligent is my choice, most especially the young man who is very fluent in English and popular among decent circles. You have hezrd the kind of boys, girls wish t o marry, therefore if you wish to be loved by girls or wish to marry any, you have to attract them in all ways. �Chapter,:7 WHY BOYS MAKE FRIENDS WITH GIRLS I very much doubt; if 'why we fall in love with girls some times, is more than - to enjoy . the 'iexual . intertourse. If this ' i s not why you go. a hunting sometimes, it' is precisely why I do sb. I have noticed that several young men fall in love the wrong way. They look upon their so called swtet-hearts as their exclusive or bona-fide properties, aqd tries to rrevent another man from meeting their girl friends of which islooked upor! as a crime unpardonable. I have so maoy times wa~ched the action of certain youog men over some girls who must undoubtedly have more than three' or even more other boys, but may not disclose them for security reasons. The most stupid thing to do theiefore is for any young mah to ban other youpg men from establishing association with his so-called girl friend. This greatly contravenes the social code of decency. Nevertheleis, it is very annoying of 'any young man human beings being what they are, who, has so much on his girl, to- find another person enjoying his exclusive property, their love making is in as 1 o n'g 'as �progress. When you are i d o v e with any girl, do not trust her too much. She may naturally deceive you by. branding herself as your own alone and may be pleasing.herself from other people. It sometimes amazes me to find some young men, despite the anqoying treatments beir~gdone to men narrated in pubs and fire-sides, sacrificing their own interest to satisfy the needs of girls. It may pay you great dividend to test the. sincerity of a girl who professes to stand for your interest and well-fare. You can easily employ methods to test her seriousness, if you are wise.' Chapter 8 WHY BACHELORS SHOULD DRESS THEIR Room.. his items I have to treat dependson individual taste and capability 1 have included this item i n view c f what I have seen.of so many young bachelors who have been able to acquire quite a l o t of furniture but nrr'acge th'em'zig-zagly furthe~mor?,it inintended for a n y young man who cannot afford for a room a par.lour.and who therefore occupies a room, in a premises .where.tbereis no kitchen accomodation for' domestic uitinsils.Let -me start off, set your bed in any suitable corner of the room, preferably at corner not easily sightable by any' passers-by near your door. If your gup-board i s a polishable stuff,-stand it exactly opposiie:., y o u r main d o o r and avoid p I a c'i n g unnecessary 05 s t a i o e d pieces ' ' �of .outdated magaziries or periodicals or some soup stained plate on top of it. Your reading table should be at any co~spicous corner of your room with a chair to match driven inside the bottom space when i t is out of use. ~ h r ecushion. chairs at .the opposite i side of the bed with one following the other is not bad. A rohid table ought to be placed exactly on the ..centre of the room. Then one end of the bed should be your store for plates, buckets, soup-pots and all what not. Shade them from any visitor. You can shade them with about four yards of cloth, so that any visitor caunot see them, you can afford it, you can arrange with a carpenter for ply-wood with which to fashion an enclosure. Your bed cross should under no circumstances differ from the stuff you use for your door or windows, a little alteration may be necessary, if you bave seme. The most annoying combination is a yellow cloth for the door, a black one for the windows and a red one for the bed-cross which is too bad. If you wish to. keep with the times always try to survey the rooms of your friends when you vist them while some may be questionably bad, others may supply the model which may appeal to your interest. One more word. It's safer to own two spare pillow cases if you bave only two pillows, one .or two spare bed sheets, and two heavy blankets rugs. If you �are careless, or if your locality is the comference halls for mosquitoes net, which may not cost more than 18s o r so, the cost depending on the quality. If you taxinot afford for one, cover your white bed-sheet with a blanket or remove it entirely only to replace it accordingly the followiog morning. It may not be pleasing to a visitor sense of decency to find under your bed all odds and ends. One part of your blanket evenly drawn down to a few inches above the floor could easily conceal all these. Do not for heaven's sake. Chapter 9 M Y TWENTY ADVICE. FOR BACHELORS before Marriage. 1 Never you tell algirl whom: you will marry that you are a rich man, you have a car, bicycles, f6000 in the bank, that you will give her many servants while you are as poor as a church rat. Then when she comes and fails to see under mentioned things you promised her that you had. She will become highly offended and will regret and may even run a way from you. 2 ' D o not marrya street girl if you wish to get children easily. �-3 D o not attempt to marry while you are very young because, you will become old after the marriage D o not attempt to marry while you have not enough money so that you may not go hungry with your wife. 4 Do not marry because your mates had married because you do not know how much they have. 5 6 Never attempt to g o to any woman while you ;lave a wife, by so doing you teach your wife a lesson to d o like wise. 7 Do'not take your wife as an angel, by so doing she will brain you and you d o what ever she says with out thioking twice. 8 D o not steal to maintain your wife. D o things for h e r a s you can. 9 D o not love woman more than money but love money more than woman. 10' D o not think for money and a t the same time think for woman because two can not arrive a t the same time. Think how t o get money first. Then when you have got enough money you can then think of marriage, because it is a natural desire, that a man must think of a wife when be is up to the age. 11 if you wish t o be looked as a well dressed young man, .always watch the dresses of persons in the public.. �12 If you wish to be respected, first respect your self. D o not be a tdkertive. 13 If you would not like to live a poor life, this is your time to work hard against your old age. 14 1fyou wish to be mannered, watch how people act in their homes and out side. 15 Do not live high life, enjoy your self but know that the world is too hard. I6 Never you forget that woman liquidates a man. They only love your mooey and hate your life. 17 Always bear in your mind that ones. greatest friend is also ones great enemy. 18 Never attempt to marry a run-a-way wife, Such girls bring trouble and bad luck. 19 n o earn all you can, enjoy all you can and save all you can against future. 20 D o not fight your wife because by so doing your wife will not respect you and fighting has gone. 24 �Chapter 10 MY 13 ADVICES FOR GIRLS BEFORE MARRIAGE. 1. Any good wife should greet her husband good- morning, good-evening, good-afternoon every day. 2. A good wife should greet her husband thank 3.

And should know when to request things from him; 13. A good bouse wife should not go in bad company with other women. Because a bad apple spoils others. Chapter 11 DISADVANTAGES O F ,LIVING IN A ROOM with a friend. Whether you are living in Ooitsha, Aba, Enugu, or Jos do not agree to share a room. with a friend when you can conveniently care for, one. The disadvantages are as follows:- (a) Reading incoveniences; your partner, if he is a dog in the manger, may not allow you to read in the night when you feel like reading a book. 26 �(b) The annoyance of being turoed out because your partner is engaged could bs better imagined than described. (c) The offensive words of some wicked and ill-natured fellow who may come to visit your partner, is a sufficient lesson to you. (d) If your partner has already acquired sufficient furniture and other home equipments, you will have no sight to arrange for your own. and may remain only with your wearing apparels and no more until you will be asked suddenly to vacate the room for ne just cause, after which you will face the discomfort of packing to a new quarter witbout any furniture. (e) You may have the chance to entertain your. visitors as you may wish, and will have no chance to please .yourself. In short, the disadvantages are so many that I begin to suspect some young men who live on with friends for quite a long time. In writing as I have done, I don't advise any young man who has just started life to arrange for a separate accomodation. Unless he is been aided by his parents. (f) A friend divided a room with his friend who was fond of women, for a stretch of nine nights the other friend was turned out because his partner who happened to own all the furniture in the room was to enjoy a nice time with his lady-friend. �Chapter 12 H O W TO NRITE ENGAGEMENT AND MARRIAGE LETTERS From a man to his old girl friend for marriage.

A fresh skin, glowing with health, is the basisof beauty. Remember that the care of your skin begins under the surface and a perfect skin goes hand in hand with general good health, a balanced diet and sufficient sleep. Those continueas late nights reflect on :ven the best and most perfect of' complexions. The skin is made up of several layers. The epidermis, which is the top layer, is composed of many paper thin layers. This is the layer that is most affected by cosmetic ingredients. It should be kept very very clean to help prevent spots and blemishes, dandruff falling onto the face is often the cause of spots so, check that your hair is free of it. Blackheads are the result of clogged pores and a force steam bath, or the process of "pelling" which we will discuss later, is a quick and rewarding remedy. Herr are a few ''DO'S" and DON'T'S" you on your way to a lovely skin. 87 to help �1 After washing your face with warm water rinse with cool water to close up the pores and give your skin a smooth appearance. 2 If you wear make-up clean it off every night, no matter how tired you are or how late it is. Cold cream is the best for dry skins and a liquid make-up remover for oily skins. Remove every tracs of make-up otherwise your pores will become clogged and enlarged. . . 3 Wear sun glasses if the sun is strong as constant squinting will encourage premature "crow's feet" around the eyes. 4 Nevcr pick a spot as this will only make it worse. Just dab it with an antiseptic lotion and leave it to heal. 5 After washing, don't use cream on the face immediately. Give thc pores time to close up properly. 6 Finally a gooa intake of water every day deeps your skin looking fresh and dewy. Remember beauty starts from within. Brenda Bucknor. Chapter 16 BRIDE PRICE: I I RIGHT OR WRONG? S T Only recently, The Federation of Nigerian Women's Organisation made an urgent call to all institutions concerned to denounce and abolish as a social evil the payment or demand of bride price in Nigeria as an essential part sf our institution of marriage. �This call at once sparked off a current of contro. oversial comment in the Press, the Radio and even in pubs and educational institutions. To understand the matter more closely and perhaps to give the arguments a more educative approach we have organised a series of inter secondary and college debates and symposiums. One of such debates just held was that between Marymount Girls' College, Agbor and Sacred Heart Teachers' Training College, Ubiaja. ARGUMENT On the whole the arguments adduced have been the same or at least nearly the same, and for the benefit of our youth and for the considei~tion of the Nigeria public, esptcrally the various religious, cultural and govermental institutions concerned, here are the though provoking arguments against bride price raised by the future brides and bridegrooms of this country. "Bride price makes the wife a slave to her husband. since both she and her parents not only become very indebted to her so-called husband but also the woman on her part is generally made from the outset to feel unequal to the man, since she appears to have to contributed nothing substantially to secure the ' �matrimonial contract. As it were, the husband can always look up and say: "You are the fruit of my labour", thus regardiog the wife just as one of tht various items of property in his house. The sound reasoning in this argument leaves nothing to comment upon. Therc is no doubt that, thus viewed, the payment of bride price doubts marriage with the odious name of "slavery." Howbeir, the recent payment' of heavy dowry on the part of the bride in the form of 'presents' usually offsets this feeling of indebtness' on the part of the bride and her parents who can thus equally brag. "We gave so much." Bride price as a custom iscontrary to the l a w of Nature, because daughters, thus sold are free gifts of nature to parents, who therefore have no right to make nature's gifts, a marketable commodity. Chapter 17 MARRIAGE The lower animals, it has b x n argued, are therefore more law-abiding than humans, because, they neither give nor take in marriage, �yet they reproduce and .multiply:" One, however, m3y well csk if thoze ~ t h r llrings r yams, beans and fowls we buy and sell arc not equally natures gifts as well. Again, if human beings should reproducz and multiply without propzr attachments, would that not amount to prostitution? There you are. You must look a t the way you please. "Bride price encourages corruption and immotality in our society today, because it bars many poor men and women from marrying at all and prevents some from marrying their chosen wives simply becauuse they cannot pay for them. Many bachelors and spinsters are. thus left floating the men turning to 'wolves', as our, girls at times call them, and the women flocking into the hotels also for "wo!fish practices". What a case against bride price this is! But X thiok this is true only where parents ask very high prices far their daughters. And watch, price have been indeed very high these days, except of course in Eastern Nigeria where the bridegroon has to hand over his legally stipulated £35 under police escort to his fatherin-law! PROBLEM And what father-in-law would accept a police his s e r g e a n t i n �house'under such a situalion? We must think it all over again, you see. "Since bride price prevents many men and women from marrying at all, it therefnre.creates the problem of depopulation. Nigeria may therefore soda suffer from depopulation and may in future even be threatened by the danger of lack of man-power in her trade, industry, the civil service and the professions." This point in .fact needs urgent investigation by Nigerian economists.. .The pros and cons of such a situation should be studied and precaution taken before it prover too lap, f i r Rome herself had suffered such disaster in her long and checked history and lack: of man-power had cost her, her old empire, DEMAND "Bride price is demanded because some parents are,poor and need some compensation for parting witb thcir daughters who help them in maintain the family and in manual work, and not necessarily because parents do not know that such a practice is evil." Then one may ask: "How far does such money t o r e m o v e r e c e i v e d g 0 42 �the poverty and the vant? . Cer~ainlynot beyond the elbow. "Bride price stains relationship between the son and the father-in-law, sioce the young husband, after stripping himself naked to pay too much, soon decides to keep himself to'himself and leave in abeyance the relationship that cost him so much. ENCOURAGEMENT "Bride p r i e encourages .debt and bave often led to bankruptcy which has ruin:d many families, because many men do borrow money at high interestpates during marriage, which debts they are later hardly able. to. pay since responsibility soon grows with family and man's economic condition grqws worse. At best this may lead to divorce or yet add to unhappiness in marital life!' 'Bride price is averse to justice and democracy, because it is one sided enriching the parents of the bride (who in fact may bave spent less on the education of their daughter) by robbing the couple and the parents of of the bridegroom, at time'to the poiat of desitution. �DEMOCRACY It destroys democracy because, thus "bought," the housewife bxomes econon~ically, socially and morally "bonded" to her husband and henceforth never bold enough to stand on equal footingwith the man she calls her "partner." "Bride price therefore is a social evil which should henceforth be. stamped out as not of date and obnoxious to the modern progressive democracy of Nigerian society." Howbeit, is goes without saying that the arguments so far adduced, bowever sound and reasonable, have obviously been one sided. In such a aontrovercial topic, we must lough both ends of the stick then weigh,and consider before we draw our conclusions. For the other side of the matter, please what really do you think?

Lagos spinsters prefer married men as boy-friends. I was put into this secrct by a beautiful gin swiggiog �but deadly siren who thought shr was taking me for a ride when in fact, the.shoc: v a < on the other foot. I'ai a journalist, with all the journalist's failings. I was loaking for a copy, and tc. g:t it I did not care to buy as much gin as possible or even ti; pretend to a make advances to the beauhfd liarror. T me all was done i n course of my profession all, including my being drunk under the tablz, my stealing a hot kiss, nig promising to hire a furnished flat and much other jibbity-gabbity of a man in love. - Thr thing started this way. I hzd asked a young friend of mine to get me in touch with the most articulate of Lagos spinsters. In no time, hc had orgiinied the most eye-cntching me. Oa the appointed dav. I took the beautiful siren ta a Favourits drinking place of mine. What would you like to drink? I asked. "Gin please," the siren cooed. And gin was brought while 1 had my inevitable b m . Ona gin, two gin, thrre gin, four gin, Damn! I held to. I waned the siren to be soused propertly before giving her the line. 1 held to until she got her tenth gin. She was still on the thing when I s3rted to hah and to hawk and toeh. I was agonizing over my lind of approttch. Very soon I found one. �1 said to the siren, you are beautiful. But for my status, I would have liked to befriend you. What a pity that I married without searching deeper searching for you. I dried up and waited. But I did not wait for long After clearing her throat, he siren said. Well, I don't see that znything has gone wrong. 1 also would like to be your friend, You are generous. You belong to the Lagos high society. You hold a high executive post in your place ofwork. You have a !avishcar. You are not ugly as a man. You have everything that warms the cockless of a girl's heart. I m ready for ' you if you want it in that way. I was flummoxed, I did not know that the apple would fall by my merely leaning on the tree. I wanted to make sure that the siren was not pulling my leg. I said, But what of my wife? Won't she be a hindrancz? Supposing any thing goes wrong? You would be left high and dry you know. I won't claim the thing or admit responsibility. To do either would lead me to a divorce court. Look here, J won't like you to feel. deceived. That's why I have put my cards on the table. face up. Shall I give you rime to go home and consider some of the inplications of what you are about to undertake? The beautiful siren was smiling beautifully. She said, There's notbing to consider. Many of us prefer �married man.. They ars safer. They are more responsible. They won't clolit you if they find you in company of someone else. To do that would givc them away. They never argue with your request if you make 2ay. They fear that to refuse would turn you into a blackmailer. And if baby cnmcs they pay anything to get rid of it or they simply .turn its moth:~'~ into everyday paradise. life They please so because they are afraid of being betrayed. And there i s another thing. A married man is a better lover because hc thinks he finds in his girl friend the sercnity and love he docs not fjnc in his wife. He is better fun too because he is a great ' m illusionist. Don't agonize on my behalf. I game. Are you? And I wzs. I was game bccause I feared that my secrct wou!d find me out if I cried off thc girl therc and then. So we became lovcrs I continued to pay for enormous quantities of gin to receive in turn many illuminating lectures on the minds of Lagos spinsters. Some of the lectures wcrc amusing, but some were frightening. Until then I did not know that a great love could develope from a conscious effort to cheat. I thoaght the siren was out for a good time. �It soon came out that she was out to possess me.. On the third week of my affair with the siren. 1 started getting many strange telephone calls from some people that I had never known, and the question all of them always put t o me was. I s i t true that you will soon be divorcing your wife t o marry Miss so and s o ? After I had had this terrifying inquiry for three days, I became quite disorganised. My reaction was violent. I barred the siren from communicating me. 1 also took measures to ensure that we never met. Sbe did not take my reaction lying down. She pleaded with my friends t o persuade me. She told some of them that she would commit suicide if I did not change my mind. But 1 stood firm. Not even for journalism would I sacrifice my marriage. What really happened? The siren was not joking about the tale she told her friends. From cheating me she had grown t o loving me desperately to the point of taking steps to force the dissolution of my marriage. And let ma say that there are many married men who, a s they are reading this, are facing. the same danger. Many spinsters in Lagos don't gwe a hoot about what other women they throw over to achieve their ambition-which is t o marry into homes that have already been built up by other women. ��..

The forward notes that the theme of the pamphlet is "look before you leap," (pg.4). An entertaining chapter 13 lists "The Ten Commandments of Love for Boys and Girls." Several of the commandments reveal a feminist viewpoint, including the following--No. 2: "Treat your partner as an equal counseled with, and work together in solving mutual problems" and No. 5: "Preserve self respect." Two others deal explicitly with sexuality--No. 8: "Have confidence in sex relations. Perfect love casteth out fear" and No. 9: "Control your sex life. Do not be a slave."The last commandment serves as a summation of Diala's message--No. 10:"Respect love for its worth. It can be of the biggest factors in your happiness and success, (pg.35).<br /><br />Some of the chapters cover lighter issues such as wedding toasts and skincare, but Diala is not afraid to tackle heavy subjects such as "Bride price:Is it right or wrong?" (pg.38). At the end, however, the author closes with a cautionary tale about "siren spinsters" who harbor a destructive preference for married men as lovers, (pg.44-48). Thus, the "modern" outlook expressed throughout much of the pamphlet remains overshadowed by an uneasiness with liberated women.
