Man shares what his wife says instead of "No"
We love how 'poetic' this sounds. The perfect way to end a conversation without saying "No"...
We love how couples have used social media to highlight the natural kinks or, should we say, quirks in their relationships.
Two people who have garnered much attention online recently are an Afro-Greek couple who embrace each other's quirks in the cutest ways. Cin and Stavros have tackled an audience that not everyone knew existed.
Forget about Nigerian soap operas; Stavros has introduced the Nigerian Poet, aka his wife, Cin, and we must say we are digging it.

A paper on Nigerian Culture shared some fascinating insight into how Nigerians communicate.
"Nigerian communication can also be indirect and may rely on non-verbal cues. In the southwest, where the people are from the Yoruba tribe, people’s communication employs proverbs, sayings and even songs to enrich the meaning of what they say. This is especially true when speaking their native language, although many of the same characteristics have been carried into their English language usage," an excerpt from the paper reads.
"The Yoruba often use humour to prevent boredom during long meetings or serious discussions. They believe that embedding humour in their message guarantees that what they say is not readily forgotten."
From this information, we feel confident in saying that the way she speaks isn't just a fun way of saying anything but "No" to her husband, but part of her heritage.

Here's another good way for her to say 'No' when Stavro asks if they should buy his friend's motorbike.
