A Nigerian woman, Buithat Hudu, has lamented the disappearance of ‘good and respectful women’ who kneel to serve meals to their husbands.

 

According to her, a wife kneeling to serve her husband food is a sign of love and submission rather than a burden or a form of slavery.

 

 

She added that even after kneeling to serve food, a woman shouldn’t get up until her husband ‘dismisses’ her.

 

“How many women still kneel down to serve their husbands food today? Chaiii! Good and respectful women seem to have disappeared with the generation of our mothers,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

 

“If a man has paid your bride price, kneeling to serve him his meal shouldn’t be a burden, it should be a gesture of love, honor, and submission. Remain in that position until he dismisses you, not as a slave, but as a woman who understands the power of humility and respect in building a peaceful home.

 

“Even if you’re not hungry, sit beside him while he eats. Share light stories, make him smile, let your presence soothe and relax him.

 

“These little gestures, often dismissed today, are powerful keys to a man’s heart. Do this, and watch how he longs to run back home every day.”
