Have you been ever called a "Woman Wrapper"
before? How did you feel? What message does
the phrase pass to you? What do they mean by
woman wrapper and what should be the
meaning of the phrase in the actual sense?
Years back (even today), if you call any man a
"woman wrapper", you have given him the
worst insult of his life because to them, a
"woman wrapper" is a man who the wife
controls, a man who have no say at home or in
the presence of the wife irrespective of where
they find themselves. However, after
considering and reconsidering the phrase
"Woman Wrapper" I think it remains the best
phrase to define a man who is an upright man
and the best thing that happens to his wife. Yes,
because the wrapper to an Isoko or Urhobo
woman is the safest covering and the major
identity of her dignity. Once she puts on the
double wrapper, she is revalued by admirers as
another man's wife and as such she is accorded
that respect. The Isoko/Urhobo woman knows
the value of the wrapper and so would cry if
her box of wrappers was stolen. Wrapper is for
the woman, a covering of prestige and honour,
that is why any Isoko/Urhobo woman who does
not own a wrapper is considered a woman
without respect.
So when next any man or woman calls you a
woman wrapper, smile and tell him or her, "If
you (as a man) is not a woman wrapper, you are
a worthless man" or if you (a woman) has no
woman wrapper at home, you are but an
uncovered woman who has lost her dignity and
honour". Yes, because you (the woman wrapper
man) is the covering of dignity and honour to
your wife.
