"Abuja Rich Wives Club"



Read the heading again and ponder on the type of revelation you're about to receive. Okay welcome back. So Abuja remains ever so on point, good roads, packaged people roaming the streets, Bentleys and Ferrari's safely hidden from EFCC at anonymous locations, raw cash buried in some people's farms( me sef I shock), every one living fake lives and so on but I love the town. So with this post I'm focusing on the rich Abuja wives and their jobs or what they do, I'll break it down into two categories for you below (more after the cut)

1. Working class wives: These include women both young and old, who either have office jobs or businesses. These are mature hardworking women who have gained some level of respect from their husbands because they have something doing, they go to work, manage their businesses, don't have time for hanging out with single friends and the competitive lifestyle they come with, they cook at home, they keep it classy because they have repsonsibilities, are religious because dem done sha see pepper and realize they need God now in their marriage that fortunately hasn't crashed in divorce yet, if their husbands cheat, they know about it and have passed the denial phase and they've accepted their fate or are still hoping on God, either way they mind their business and try as much as possible to lead a quiet life to avoid their gist spreading into the ears of jealous "frenemies" desperately waiting to laugh when things go south. Many who fall in this category have grown up kids who are either abroad studying or are in expensive schools here in Naij but are barely home. These women have something they do and have their own money no matter how small and therefore have some say in their marriage.

2. Non working class wives: comprises of mostly young women and a few older, they can also be called "trophy wives" who have nothing whatsoever productive that they do with their lives other than wake up, if they have kids, with hair net they carry the kids to school (or better still send Adamu the driver to drop them off), get back home, dress to impress for the gym in Nike sports shoes, leggings, tank top, hair in a ponytail, no makeup or just small Mac powder and lip gloss to look natural enough and still look like they "woke up like this" with water bottle and earpiece and of course their iPhone in place. Get to the gym, workout for 2hrs and Snapchat every 5mins of it making one wonder the time they use for the actual workout, after the gym go back home, shower, change, relax for a bit watch telemundo or zee world, do no chores because house helps are available to sort that out, time to pick up the child(ren) from school, dress up, look like a hot mama to impress and intimidate with their husbands range rover and nothing in their pocket because their husbands don't really give them shingbine (nothing), for those that have a little change they take the child(ren) home, get them changed, go to some Chinese restaurant in Maitama, eat while snapchatting the whole thing(if the kids are home, then they go out to see friends and gossip about another friend's husband that's cheating and lie that their husband is oga faithful), go back home, have to face the cheating husband that has sex starved them and disrespects them because he see's her as a typical Abuja leech who wants to eat but not work and so they quarrel small, she regrets marrying him all through the night but chooses to manage because of the luxurious lifestyle which is the only thing he has to offer her and her children, fall asleep, dream of sex with some young macho dude, wake up REPEAT!!! (You think I'm exaggerating?) Women in this category have no say whatsoever in their marriage because they add nothing  to it except help a great deal with spending their husbands money, they think being pretty is a job and so they encounter daily issues in their marriage. The above happens if their husbands don't send them off first to some far away country with the kids so they can cheat in peace here in Naij and not have to see her jobless, leeching face everyday. 

In life No work equals no worth, so dear Abuja young wife or if you happen to belong to the latter category, find something to do with your hands no matter how small and no matter how rich your husband is, work so he doesn't lose respect for you. Have goals in life, have dreams and ambitions that you're chasing, marriage is not an achievement. Inugo?
