In a Facebook post, the man said his wife asked him to buy a shoe polish on his way back from work. He indicated that his pregnant wife called him several times during the day to remind him not to forget to buy the shoe polish.
"I was going to work in the morning when my wife asked me to buy her shoe polish on my way back home. I was in a hurry, so I didn’t ask questions. In the afternoon, she texted, 'Please don’t forget my polish, oo.' I asked, 'What shoe do you need to polish so badly that you won’t let me be?' She didn’t answer. On my way home, she texted, “Did you buy it? I forgot to say, but I want black polish.”
When the man got to a shop, he bought a liquid black polish since that was what was available. When he got home, the man gave the liquid polish to his pregnant wife.
However, the pregnant woman got angry and said she did not want liquid polish but preferred another type.
"I went through my bag, took it out, and placed it squarely in her palm. 'What kind of polish is this? Ahh, liquid? This is not what I asked you to buy. You don’t listen when I talk. I want the black polish in the flat can, the one you use a brush to fetch and smear on your shoe.' She threw the polish on the floor and angrily went to lie on the sofa, crying.
The man did not understand why his wife could not just accept the liquid polish. He did not think it was serious until his pregnant wife accused him of disliking him and promised to leave for her parents' home."

"I quickly dashed out, moved from store to store until I got one, and brought it to her. She opened it, slouched into the sofa, and held it close to her nose. All evening, that was what she smelled."
The man said he has bought different items since his wife got pregnant and wondered when such cravings would end.
"From day one of this pregnancy, the only thing she hasn’t asked me to buy, which I believe she will ask for soon, is the intestine of a living lion. I’ve bought incense, I’ve bought mosquito coils, I’ve bought kerosene, I’ve bought that white clay they eat, I’ve bought a new goat, the smelly one."
