Simi was unapologetic about her position, insisting that honesty during the talking stage eliminates any room for disappointment later in a relationship.

She argued that partners who enter a relationship knowing her cooking habits have no grounds to complain afterwards.

"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?"

Simi Sanya added that her husband has accepted the arrangement without protest since their wedding day.

"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.

Understanding is what matters in a relationship - Analyst

Speaking with Legit.ng, a social media analyst who requested anonymity shared his thoughts on the content creator's marriage arrangement and the public's reaction.

He said:

"I saw how many people dragged Simi on social media when I came across the video on X. While I understand why people reacted that way because of our cultural beliefs, it is unnecessary to question the couple's choices. According to her, she and her husband discussed and agreed to her cooking habits before they even got married. Since her husband is cool with it and eats her food in peace, who are we to condemn her? Mutual understanding is what truly matters in a relationship, not what outsiders think."

"and the boy have know, he have nor fight me since the day we marry". This is just shameful. See how a wife is embarrassing and disgracing her husband. "Did I not tell you before hand?", men are supposed to avoid this kind of women. How does this kind of woman want to care for you? Spaghetti and tea and bread? What a shame!"

@Chukmec said:

"😂😂 omo theres always signs I don't have problem with her not knowing how to cook or not cooking, buh her always reminding the world how she dose not cook in her marriage and always talking about him like some kind random crush.. 😂"

@Hi_Auzten offered a contrasting view:

"I've seen a couple of you foaming in the cs. She told him from the start what she can cook and he eats it with goodness in his heart. He needs to eat something different? He gets a chef or if he knows how to make the meal he makes it. Do what works for you in your marriage!"

@Sweet_Temiii added:

"Cooking is a valuable life skill, but mutual understanding and support matter even more in a marriage."
