A resurfaced video of lifestyle content creator Simi Sanya saying she only knows how to cook a few meals for her husband, who has never complained, has sparked heated debate on social media.
The clip, which resurfaced on Tuesday from an interview on Talk Your Talk, reignited conversations about marriage, cooking and gender roles, with users split over whether her arrangement reflects honesty or a lack of effort.
Speaking during the interview, Sanya said she makes her cooking abilities known during the talking stage so there are no surprises after marriage.
“You see me the way I am. You know that I don’t know how to cook. Now I’m in a relationship; you will now say let me go and be cooking for you in your house every weekend… why? Was that the plan? Didn’t I tell you before?” she said.
She added that her husband has never had an issue with it.
“Like me, in my marriage, I only know how to cook spaghetti, yam and egg, and bread and tea, and the boy has known, and he has not fought me since the day we got married. He has been eating the spaghetti with all goodness in his heart. Did he die?” she said.
Sanya also explained that cooking compatibility is one of the issues she believes couples should discuss before committing to a relationship.
