Da heck kinda man are you dating?
Da heck kinda man are you dating?
Hello Lovies,
How are you all doing today? I hope your week has been
awesome. Mine certainly has. Loving each day more and more! Now that’s was’up.
So, after digging through our archives of man gists, we
remembered a very funny story from 2005. I actually remembered this story
because my cousin who experienced this issue just sent me a message on whatsapp
and I was just thinking “see how far we’ve all come o. Gone are the bullshit of
yesteryears. Now we are all grown and wiser.
While chatting with my cousin, I told the rest of the group who I was
chatting with and instantly we all remembered the gist from 2005.
Oya, for privacy sake, let’s refer to my cousin as Folake.
Folake moved to yankee like in early 2000’s and was hustling just like every
young Nigerian girl back then; holding down multiple jobs and going to school
at the same time. Well, she was also hustling relationships at that time. I use
the word hustling because she was so bent on having a serious relationship and
getting married back then. I use the word hustling because girls our age were
just happy dating then. We were in our early to mid-twenties and my cousin is a
lot younger than we are and had just hit the original acceptable legal age worldwide
of 21 so what was the rush about settling down at that time? I tire, seriously.
Anyway, so sometime in 2005, all the girls were at my house chilling
and Folake came by as well. We girls all had dates later that night so we were
just hanging out till date time with our men. We mentioned this to Folake so she
wouldn’t get too comfy and all. Folake was like “ehn, you people are going
where? With who? To go and do what? Are you
people serious right now? Haaa egbami o, what kind of man am I with for
goodness sake!” Now, anyone who knows Folake knows she’s dramatic and theatrical
when she’s emotional so it was just hilarious watching her ask a million
questions at once.
It turns out Folake was dating a guy that was about 10 years older than she
was (awon bros) and he was just down right trifling. They had been together for
about 4 months then and the guy had never ever, as in lailai, never ever taken
her out to the movies or to eat at a restaurant. You trust me now; I was like “what
the hell’! WHY? Folake said anytime she asks bros to take her out to the movies
his response would always be: “Mofie ke (movie ke), to do what? Do you know how
much I pay for my cable T.V every month? Have you finished watching all the
channels on it? When you finish watching them I’ll take you to the mofie
theater”.
At this point all the girls were rolling on the floor in
laughter. So one of the girls now asked why they had never gone out to eat. I
mean, every couple has been on at least a few dinner or lunch dates now. Well,
except Folake of cos. She said bros would say “you want to go out to eat? What happened
to the elubo and yam I bought from the African store? Don’t you know how to
cook? What kind of food will they give you at Mickey D’s that you can’t cook at
home? My friend enter the kitchen abeg”.
At this point no one was sitting upright at all. We were
laughing so hard our ribs were hurting. I mean, like seriously men actually
behave that way? I felt really bad for
Folake then and there was a unanimous advice that she needed to do away with
bros. How cheap and stingy can a man be in a relationship?
This leads to my question to you: what is the most hideous
or cheapest thing you’ve ever experienced in a relationship?
I’ll tell you one of mine real quickly. An ex’s mother once
told me that my ex (her son) is so stingy that the only birthday card he ever
gave her (pre yours truly of course) was a birthday card one of his
ex-girlfriend’s gave him. The front of the card said “Happy birthday to my lover”,
and the inside ehn, okay so you know you write the name of the recipient at the
top and your name (the giver) at the bottom right. Well ex, had crossed out his
ex-girlfriend’s name at the bottom and wrote his name there and also crossed
out his name that the ex-had written before and wrote his mum’s name there!...lol... ohh Jesus!
Yes people, there are such men out there like that. It is my
prayer in my night vigil this week that God will bind every such man and
dissipate them from your life. May your paths never cross, even on 3rd
mainland bridge traffic. In Jesus Name we pray Amen!
Lol….. toodles, and have an amazing weekend!
