If you are a girl who can’t cook in a Nigerian house, you can relate to this.

The way your mother starts to panic when she realized you have reached marriageable age and you can’t cook.

How she comes to drag you into the kitchen whenever she’s cooking.

When you make the mistake of complaining about cooking to your mum.

When you make the mistake of telling her you don’t like to cook.

When your mother reports you to her friends and sisters, whenever they come around.

When someone tells you, you won’t find husband because you can’t cook.

When you want to talk about something other than cooking with your mother.

When she compares you to your sisters or cousins who can cook.

When it dawns on her that you might leave her house without learning to cook.

When you try to tell her you don’t need to learn how to cook.
