Once upon a time, The males in the animal kingdom were rendezvousing as was their daily practice and the discussion shifted to their wives' faults. Simba the lion went first. He said, you see my wife ehn, she's good óò but she's very arrogant and rude. She has too much pride and never listens to what I tell her. After he complained and all, Àjàpá, the Tortoise replied him, your wife does not have any fault óò jàre, compared to my wife's fault, hers is minimal. Just let her be! Anansi the spider then spoke. You see my own wife ehn, she's dirty. She doesn't know how to clean or manage the home. She hardly cleans herself gan.
