"When you hear a man say that my wife does not know how to cook, he is yet to understand love.
"Let me be very raw with you; hire somebody to teach her and it is not even compulsory that she cooks for you, can't you get a chef? It is your poverty that is disturbing you."
He hired a chef
Pastor Ibiyeomie said he told his wife to stop being a cook and had to hire a chef.
According to the man of God, if a man can't hire a chef, then he should work around teaching the woman how to cook.
In his words:
"I told my wife to stop cooking. I told her that God has blessed me to a point that you will never enter kitchen.
"Where did you hear that a woman must cook till she dies. Just be angry with your poverty. You employ a chef. If you can't afford that yet, work around teaching her and stop spreading her weakness all around. No one is perfect."

Pastor Adeboye says his wife still cooks for him
YEN.com.gh previously reported that Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God celebrated his wife's 72nd birthday and disclosed that she still cooks for him.
The man of God said that a man is the head of the home and that it is a terrible thing for a man to feel like the woman is taking his place as the head.
In his words:
“The husband is the head of the wife. No matter how educated or successful you are, your husband is your head and you must regard him as such at all times. It is a terrible thing for a husband to feel his wife is his head."
