Dear men, this is Rita at 50
Looking like she just left her twenties last week
And here you are, already side-eyeing that woman in your life
“She’s looking old”
“She’s no longer attractive”
“She should try to look like this”
Calm down. Let me break it down for you
Rita is a global screen goddess
She has left her mark, built her name, secured her peace
She is married to a billionaire
Her skincare routine alone can humble your entire household income
She doesn’t wash clothes
She probably doesn’t cook
And “domestic chores”? That one na rumour
She’s not doing school runs, correcting homework, and doing laundry in the same breath
Have you ever seen her pricing tomatoes and pepper at any market?
Trek under the sun? For where?
Did you hear she was packaged to the village in December to cater for a family that can pass for a local government?
So before you start using Rita to compare your wife
Pause and weigh your pocket
Then adjust your appetite
Because the glow you're admiring is funded
Or you didn't see her birthday dress cost 50M
While your wife's stress is unpaid labour
Rita is not your standard
She is your screen saver
Appreciate the woman beside you
Not every glow comes from shea butter
Some come from soft life.
