From Our inbox: ‘Is it true Benue men offer their wives as cola to visitors?’

Hi Editor,
My name is Jane, I am from Edo but base in Amsterdam, Holland.
I stumbled on an article online, which claimed men of Benue State in Nigeria offer their wives as cola to visitors.

Though I have never been to Nigeria for the past ten years, I want to know how true is this. I am currently working on a High School project, which revolves around African culture and its consequences and I would like to use that as a case study.
Please kindly help.
