In a viral video circulating online, the young woman warned ladies to be cautious when dating men who are skilled in the kitchen, describing such traits as “red flags.”
“Any man wey sabi cook na red flag,” she said in pidgin English.
“Man wey fit cook ogbono soup, egusi, rice and stew, jollof rice, and you dey date am? He no go marry you.”
According to her, a man’s ability to prepare meals could mean he is only enjoying the relationship and has no intention of settling down.
She went further to include laundry skills in her list of warning signs, insisting that men who wash their own clothes are also not serious about marriage.
“Man wey sabi wash hin cloth, auntie na red flag. You dey on your own. He no go ever marry you,” she added.
Her comments quickly drew widespread reactions from social media users, many of whom strongly disagreed with her views and defended men who are self-sufficient.
One user, @Fortunate_D, jokingly wrote, “I can cook and wash very well but if money dey, na she go run am for me.”
Another commenter, @NuhuSada0, argued that domestic skills should not be mistaken for bad character. “A man who cooks and cleans is capable. A man who lies, cheats or disrespects others is a red flag. Big difference,” he said.
Some reacted with humour, while others shared personal experiences. “So I be red flag like this? Wonders shall never end,” @jujubabyxoxo commented.
@OsariemeV also dismissed the woman’s claim, explaining that shared responsibilities strengthen relationships. “That na lies. Me and my wife understand ourselves better. It makes things easier. My father and mother both can cook too,” he wrote.
The video has continued to trend across platforms, sparking conversations about gender roles, relationships and the changing expectations of men and women in modern society.
While some still hold traditional views about household duties, many netizens insist that a man’s ability to cook or clean should be seen as a sign of responsibility rather than a reason for suspicion.
