That is not true. I give her money for food. Sometimes I am late with the school fees, but why pay school fees for girls? Tomorrow, some man will come and marry them. What kind of investment is that? Five daughters and no sons – too much for one man. I am, after all, a big, strong man. My strong muscles and thick, shiny, dark body tell me so. The pretty women I see on the road, driving my truck from Kano to Enugu and back, carrying supplies to and fro, tell me so. I have never left a woman unsatisfied; they tell me so in the bedroom and out of it, when I put money in their palms. I know I am able to sire sons, but my disobedient wife refuses to produce any.
