To his surprise, she expressed a craving for burnt jollof rice. Initially taken aback, the husband managed to control his frustration and went to a nearby canteen to fulfil his wife's desire.

However, upon arriving at the canteen, he discovered that the rice had already been cooked and there was no burnt portion.

Despite informing his wife, she insisted on having it, leading him to warm the rice and intentionally let it burn slightly before serving it to her.

During the same eventful pregnancy, the husband faced another peculiar craving from his wife. As they were setting up their Christmas tree, she suddenly developed a strong desire for asala, also known as walnuts.

However, it was not the season for walnuts, leaving the husband perplexed about how to fulfil her request. Despite the challenge, he persevered, attempting to find a way to satisfy her craving.

“I see men in this comment section complaining and saying it's a deliberate thing women do to punish men. You do not know what it takes to carry and birth a human, women literally put their lives on the line, women go blind, incapacitated, get irreparable skin damage and some even die. The least you can do is run a few errands here and there without complaints and y'all are here thinking you have gone or going through a lot just because you had to move a few stones to satisfy her cravings?”

@excellent_pinna reacted:

“Flew from lagos to Abuja cause I was craving one barbecue fish I had there, ate it vomited it but I was satisfied this man was just looking at me like an alien the whole time but I no send am I satisfied my craving.”
