July 5, 2021, marked a day when radio personality Andrew Kibe shared his unfiltered thoughts on what makes a woman 'wife material'. In a conversation on Y24, Kibe explained that a woman who is 'wife material' is one who prioritizes her partner's needs above her own.
According to Kibe, a 'wife material' woman is someone who is willing to cook, clean, and take care of her partner's needs, while her own needs are secondary. He emphasized that compromise is key in marriage, and that a woman should be willing to change to fit her partner's lifestyle, rather than the other way around.
However, Kibe also dismissed the idea that women who embody these qualities still exist in today's generation. His comments sparked a lively discussion on the role of women in marriage and the importance of submission and compromise.

Speaking on the topic of being more attractive, Kibe explained:
“Wife Material means that, you’re going to cook, you’re going to clean, you’re going to take care of this guy’s needs. Your needs are inconsequential. There’s nothing like compromising a marriage. It is a woman changing to fit a man’s lifestyle, not the other way round.”
His comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some people agreeing with his views and others criticizing him for being outdated and sexist.
