I saw this on whatsapp and thought I should share, enjoy.

30 Things Nigerian Husbands Want And Expect From Our Wives​.

1. Go and slim down. Do not let people take you for our mother when indeed you are our wife. We love to see you exercise and eat less.

2. Mind and control your tongue.

3. Keep the house clean.

4. Be hospitable, how you receive our friends and families matter to us. Make them feel welcome by coming out to greet them, serve them water if there is no drink.

5. Dress neatly and smart always, look good for us.

6. Do not disrespect us, we want to feel respected even with our imperfections, correct us with respect.

7. Treat us like a king, make us feel important and we shall treat you back as our queens.

9. Do not always claim right.

10. Be polite always.

11. Be quick to say "I am sorry".

12. Do not delay us when we have to go out together. Start getting ready well ahead of time and don’t keep us waiting because we can be very impatient.

13. We don’t like tension, make us smile and laugh around you and we will want to hang around.

14. ​We love good food, if you have to go to a catering school to make us eat well, please do​!

15. We do not like nagging. When you make your request, believe in us to do it in our own time. No amount of nagging can change us.

16. Do not belittle or gossip us to anyone. If there are issues that need be addressed, find a quiet time when we can talk, just the two of us not necessarily in the middle of the night when you’re most likely going to disturb our sleep.

17. Do not prioritize others ahead of us, Make us your number one; Not the children, your friends, your family or anything around.

23. Do not leave the home and children unattended.

24. Accept and relate well with our family members.

25. Assist us in paying the bills, if you earn well.

26. Do not try to pry too much by reading our mails and responding to messages meant for us without our consent.

Stop snooping and stalking us on Social media. Stop being suspicious of our female colleagues.

27. Stop answering our calls without our permission.

28. Smile always, even when you are exhausted from tending the kids. Constantly frowning will scare us.

29. ​If you need our help, ASK. We cannot read your minds​!

30. Stop asking to know how we spend every dime. Just trust us and all will be well.

Lots of love,

-Nigerian husbands.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s Address - cocosista15.com

TEXT OF A WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED, ON THE RELEASE OF 21

CHIBOK GIRLS, ON THURSDAY, OCT. 13TH 2016, AT THE OBASANJO HALL,

FEDERAL SECRETARIAT, ABUJA.

Gentlemen of the press, good afternoon. We have called this press conference at a very short notice to brief you on the latest development in the saga of our Chibok Girls.

2.   We can confirm that 21 of the girls were released, safely, to us by 5.30 this Thursday morning and they were flown to Kaduna from the location of their release. This is the most glaring manifestation to date of the unwavering commitment of Mr. President to secure the safe release of the girls and reunite them with their families. It is also a result of the round-the-clock efforts by the Administration to put a closure to the sad issue of the kidnap of the girls.

3.   We expect the released girls to land in Abuja shortly. Ahead of their arrival,

we have assembled a team of medical doctors, psychologists, social workers, trauma experts,etc to properly examine the girls, especially because they have been in captivity for so long. They will also be adequately debriefed. We have the list of the 21 girls but we are now contacting their parents as part of the necessary verification exercise.

As soon as that is concluded, we will release the names to the public.

4.   Gentlemen, as we have always said, we have been working on the safe release of the girls and following all the leads available. In this instance, the moment we had a credible lead, Mr President gave the green-light to the DSS to pursue it. We can confirm that the DSS pursued the lead in collaboration with a friendly European country and a renowned international humanitarian organization.
The DSS was supported by the military.

5.   As soon as the necessary confidence was built on both sides, the parties agreed on the date and the location of the release of the 21 girls. Please note that this is not a swap. It is a release, the product of painstaking negotiations and trust on both
sides.

6.   We see this as a credible first step in the eventual release of all the Chibok Girls in captivity. It is also a major step in confidence-building between us as a government and the Boko Haram leadership on the issue of the Chibok Girls.

7.   We want to thank all Nigerians for their support and for never losing confidence in the ability of Mr.President to secure the safe release of our Chibok Girls.

8.   Gentlemen of the press, I thank you all for your kind attention
