Opinion: Village girls no longer make submissive wives

Some topics, such as the one I covered last week about men wishing they had the type of wives their ancestors had, cannot be covered in a single piece. Even two articles are not enough, but it will have to do. For now.

Today I shall focus on another archaic belief that floats around like a bad smell, that if you want a submissive wife, also wrongly known as a good wife, the best place to find her is the village. Women in big cities and towns like Nairobi have been adulterated by modern living, usually referred to as foreign concepts. Even before I delve into it, I repeat that it is ridiculous to cherry-pick what you can or not borrow from the West, unless it matters spiritually.
