A woman recently shared her joy on social media, praising her husband as “Odogwu” for fulfilling her marriage rites with an impressive array of foodstuffs. While many celebrated the gesture, a surprising comment stood out: “Odogwu is now a euphemism for a mumu man.” This reaction exposes more about the commenter’s mindset than the husband’s actions.
Why should fulfilling cultural and marital obligations be seen as foolish? Such comments reflect a troubling trend where respect and dedication in relationships are misinterpreted as weakness. It’s the critic here who falls short by trivializing acts of love and respect. True strength in marriage lies in honoring commitments with pride, and it deserves admiration—not ridicule.
