A father inlaw like never called me and said Rita, sir, I don’t like this idea of having mature girls as house helps because he does not want anything polygamy in his home.
He told me this because I was always having “mature girls” as my “house helps”. I said to him papa I know my husband and that is the reason I can afford to do that and his answer was toh in hausa language I said this because akwala amaro ife meaning p$nis no get sense and I quickly replied him, my husband does not have time for women outside not to talk of house maids so I know my husband papa. We ended the matter and so it remains till date little did we know that the polygamy thing would come from his grandchild, but papa, I promise you, where ever you are, it still stands as you stated it.
Trust me we are not sleeping.”
