What women want...

Young Oba Akenzua was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a

neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved by

Akenzua’s youthful happiness. So he offered him freedom, as long as he

could answer a very difficult question.



Akenzua would have a year to figure out the answer; if, after a year, he

still had no answer, he would be killed. The question was: What do women

really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable

man, and, to young Akenzua, it seemed an impossible query. Well, since

it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an

answer by year's end.



Quest



He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the

poms, the priests, the wise men, the court jester. In all, he spoke with

everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. What most

people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know

the answer. The price would be high, since the witch was famous

throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.



The witch



The last day of the year arrived and Akenzua had no alternative but to

talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to

accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Omorogbe, the most

handsome of the chiefs and Akenzua’s closest friend!



Young Akenzua was horrified: she was hunchbacked and awfully hideous, had

only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, often made obscene noises...He

had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his

friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden. Omorogbe, upon

learning of the proposal, spoke with Akenzua. He told him that nothing

was too big of a sacrifice compared to Akenzua’s life and the preservation

of the Round Table. Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch

answered Akenzua’s question:



What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that

Akenzua’s life would be spared. And so it went. The neighbouring monarch

spared Akenzua’s life and granted him total freedom.



Wedding



What a wedding Omorogbe and the witch had! Akenzua was torn between relief

and anguish. Omorogbe was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old

witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched

and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable. The wedding night

approached:



Omorogbe, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom.

What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before

him! Omorogbe was astounded and asked what had happened. The beauty

replied that since he had been so kind to her (when she'd been a witch),

half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self, and the other

half, she would be her beautiful maiden self.



Question



Which would he want her to be during the day and which during the night?

What a cruel question? Omorogbe began to think of his predicament: During

the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friend, but at night, in the

privacy of his home, an old spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day

a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate

moments?



What would you do? What Omorogbe chose follows below, but don't read until

you've made your own choice.



Answer

Noble Omorogbe replied that he would let her choose for herself. Upon

hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time,

because he had respected her and had let her be in charge of her own life.





What is the moral of this story?

THE MORAL IS THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR WOMAN IS PRETTY OR UGLY,

UNDERNEATH IT ALL, SHE'S STILL THE ANGEL. THE WITCH IN HER WILL ONLY COME OUT IF PROVOKED. MEN LOVE AND RESPECT UR WOMEN, U WILL BE PLEASED
