Some men in Abuja have given some reasons why they prefer to stop over at drinking joints before going home.
Few of them who spoke in Abuja noted that they did that to avoid unnecessary squabbles with their wives.
They also said disturbances from their children contributed to making them stay late night at drinking joints.
Mr. Ferdinand Lucas, a welder, who usually visited Cachez Garden, Wuse, said that he stopped over at the garden to relax with a bottle of beer before going home to avoid argument with his wife.
“I recall when we newly got married, my wife use to be very humble and caring but now it is the opposite.
“My wife complains on every issue and sometime I don’t even know how to handle or manage her.
“In one of the occasions when I got home, she started complaining over the children school fees which I already promised to settle at the end of the month,’’ he said.
Lucas said he wish he was still single to avoid the usual ranting of the wife, even when he came home late.
Mr. Samuel Olaedo a businessman at Wuse Market said he preferred to stop over at beer parlour to drink and watch football to ease off tension before going home.
“I recall an incident that happened some time ago. My wife asked me to buy a separate television for her to avoid her disturbance during football match.
“I told her I have no money for that now. Since she comes back home before me she will start watching her soap operas; she will hide the remote control from me.
“When I return home and try to change the station from the decoder we will start arguing which will result to insults,’’ he said.
Olaedo pointed out that he preferred going straight to his bed to sleep even when he returned home late just to avoid the wife’s disturbance.
A male boutique operator, who spoke on the condition anonymity, said the desire to take care of his girlfriend keeps him out in a garden everyday.
According to him, the wife is incapable of making the home interesting for him.
“My girlfriend is a very interesting person and she makes me very happy; that is why I spend more time with her than with my wife.
“My wife doesn’t make the home interesting, she is always busy chatting with her friends on phone and leaving me to myself but my girlfriend gives me attention and notices everything that bothers me,’’ he said.
He further said that he could be married to the girlfriend if the wife does not change. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Mumu ppl, na so una lives go end. U must hav done smtin to make ur wives complain. Instead of u to find solutions to ur prblms u take to drinking. Ur girlfrnds tolerate u cos they dnt love u bt ur pockets. Go fix ur marriages... Prayer is de key!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 10:23. That exactly is the problem of you women. Instead of listening to the complaints of men, you dismiss it. Fixing of marriages is the duty of both the husbands and wives. A lot of you nag instead of supporting us men emotionally. We want to get home and feel we are in paradise. If you make the home conducive, we will rush home from work.
ReplyDeleteIt is irresponsible men who stay out drinking. No matter the reason.
ReplyDeleteit is irresponsible and selfish Women that make their Men go out drinking. Men take to such things bcos they find it more interesting than the Home u keep waiting for them. Just like most women take to their interest, drinking joints are more interesting than company of a nagging or non challant wife SIMPLE!
