Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative

 Hmmm.....








STAND ALONE NARRATIVE...
FUNNY BEHAVIOUR


I am Igbo and he is from Kogi. Two of us are working almost same salary scale. We are talking marriage but he has not engaged me yet.

 I have met some of his people. He has many siblings because his dad married 3 wives. 


Last weekend he asked me to follow him to visit his male cousin that had an  accident. When we got to the guest house. His wife came and welcomed us and went inside. 


Few minutes later she brought portage beans for me and told my boyfriend that she is coming. 10 minutes later, she brought fried potatoes and egg and served my guy. 

The husband went and brought two bottles of coke for us. I am not a beans person so l took just two spoons and left it. Told them l can't take coke because I react to coke and beans combination.


 My guy balanced well and ate his food. We got ready to go and the husband called the wife to inform her. I thanked her for the food. Asked for the spice she used for the beans and she told me. I asked for the beans spice to make her feel nice.

 We left. 

On our way l told my guy l am angry and felt insulted. He asked why. I was like. ..... Are you saying you did not notice anything? A woman l have not met before gave me beans and went inside to prepare potatoes and fried eggs for you. Let's assume she does not have enough potatoes or egg in the house for two. It is better she did not give me anything than insulting me with a watery dry beans.


 Na the matter we still dey settle. He has begged on her behalf but l still felt there is more to her actions. No I don't look cheap or ugly. I feel the woman does not like me.





* You dont need to look cheap or ugly for her to like or dislike you.. Change that mindset. She probably meant no harm, please do not take this too serious or blow it out of proportion.... Next time say you are not hungry, abi nah Food carry you go there?

  1. Na wa. U like drama sha. I have heard that beans is even more expensive than rice and eggs and bread so you should be grateful you were offered the more expensive platter .

    Learn to pick your battles wisely in marriage .......whether it be with this guy, tribe or any other.

    You could have eaten the beans and drank water without all this fuss and that you both earn similar wages doesnt make you equals.

    1. Poster you tried
      First time coming to your house you served me beans or a different meal from the person that brought me there.
      I will join my fiancee to eat his own no matter how little the food is..

      Delete
    2. @sylvia, can you take that? That was a wrong behavior deal with it. Why beans of all foods?

      Delete
    3. @ poster your concerns are valid. Next time you visit the woman just take a drink. If I were you I won't touch the beans.

      If I don't have food in the house I will tell my guests what I have, if they are happy with what I have, good if not, give a drink. Why would you fry potato and egg for 1 and give the other beans? She does not have sense at all.

      Delete
  2. Do not read unnecessary meaning into this.. Like you insinuated, maybe there was not enough potatoes and egg and that might just be your man's favorite meal too. At least she would have given you the meal she gave to your man, at least that would have been more understandable as she was meeting you for the first time. Since your man has apologizes, forgive and forget.

  8. Kinda confused here. Why will she serve you guys differently, that I don't get. To me the best thing she should have done is to serve you the potato and egg while she gives the guy just coke or the best. Or on the other hand, serving just coke to the both of you would been better, my opinion though

      From your write up,i don't even think you will forgive anyone who doesn't greet you.

  21. Very silly and senseless individual. Why didn't you reject the food ? Possibly your boyfriend told them he doesn't like beans long before he met you I guess if you were both served beans, there won't be grounds for your childish complaint. How can somebody who is meeting you for the first time have reasons to hate/ dislike you. Your anger should be directed at your boyfriend who refused to share his eggs and potatoes with you

  22. I think she was caught between trying to please her brother-in-law and pleasing his guest.Treating your in-laws specially is kinda a big deal for most kogites especially if he 'hol' for hand' lols.Maybe she didn't realise you were more than just his friend. Overall its not a big deal besides my dear if matters like this start bothering you now then you better get a bullet proof vest as you go visiting other in-laws and the wedding/marriage generally.

  27. Babe, you like drama o🙄. How many times would we advise us to be "authentic" with in-laws from the beginning? The same you that is now disturbing you boyfriend over the issue was the same person asking the lady for the name of the spice she used for the food you only took two spoons of. Do you think she's a fool? She too has penned you down as an eye-service person after that visit.

    You could have easily told her with a sweet smile: "no please ma'am, my system reacts to beans sometimes. Just water is fine. Thank you very much." She probably would have then suggested the fried potatoes and eggs or coke. Stop complicating issues with your mixed signal to please in-laws. Let them know you for who you are from the start.

    Today, I totally agree with Stella's red pen💯. People like who they like irrespective of looks or social/financial status. Even if you donate your kidney to someone who doesn't like you, na charity you do and they'd probably go back to default settings after they're discharged from hospital. Just love yourself first. Every other person's like and love will be jaara (extra). Send us blog IV for your wedding o😘

  30. I don’t understand why she served you both two different kind of food almost same time. If I was the one I will say I am not hungry and take the Coca-Cola home or drink it instead of the beans.

    Since the drama has happened just let it be cos no need looking for issues where there is non. Anytime she comes to your house serve she and her husband same food to teach her how to treat people.

  31. This poster is a troublesome person. The person you went to see is not your suitors father/mother or even sibling.

    Yet, you are causing trouble with your guy because of issues caused by a distant relative.

    The guy apologised on his relatives behalf. That means this guy is a good man who saw that you were indeed wronged by his relative (even though you had to tell him - we men don't take notice of things like this).

    To be honest, the guy needs to be wary of you and also refuse to marry you. If it were me, I would not even with your entitlement mentality.

    Dunno if u are overreacting but yea, it's quite weird serving both of u different meals and giving u the weird one. I can't eat beans in a random person's house sha

    ReplyDelete
  35. How is it weird to serve beans to a visitor? Is it not what you have that you will offer a guest? Growing up in my house, a visitor was served whatever food that's available, if the availble food is not enough to go round then the "visitor visitor" is served first then we look for something else to serve the other person. In your case the beans was readily available and she served you first, you being the main visitor before fixing something else for your guy who was not really a visitor. She probably didnt think potatoes and eggs is superior to beans, I also dont think so too.

    You could have politely declined the "dry and watery beans" but you accepted it and even did eye service by asking for recipe. Now you're fighting the poor guy even after he apologised. What do you want him to do? Go and fight the woman? Take it easy aunty.

    1. She had to do eye service because she wanted to be accepted. But taking it out on her man was so unwarranted. She should have kept her cool.

      Why accept to eat the food you don't like on a normal day. There are some foods some people for whatever reasons don't eat outside. So it is acceptable to politely decline what you don't like.

  36. Why will u even serve beans to ur visitor? Not everyone eats beans,for some people they don’t like it,for some others it causes stomach upset,some have ulcer they can’t eat beans,for someone like me I can’t eat beans prepared by another person.So many reasons why,...it’s not by force to serve a visitor food,sometimes snacks will do, or even fried meat and drinks,or even nice biscuits and drinks.Why serve them both different meals? If I were u I won’t even touch the food, call me whatever u like I’ll never even look at the food twice.U could have just politely told her you don’t eat beans as soon as she brought it,’sorry I don’t eat beans,it upsets my tummy’’ short and simple....Ur guy should have even spoken up for you,or give his food to you.
    Well, since he has apologized don’t let it cause issues between u both.Next time just learn to speak up when u are not pleased with anything.

  38. Guests should never be served two completely different meals unless there is a known allergy and accommodations are being made. I cannot get into the specifics of the actually meals served, but it is a valid question to ask why two ppl who travelled together and arrived at the same time were served two completely different meals, especially considering their visit was to check in on an ill relative of one of the visitors. Yes, something is off. Does it warrant ruining your relationship over? No. But it does deserve looking into and I do not think you are wrong for wondering why.

    Some ppl above mentioned a culture of unequal treatment between genders for ppl in that culture. You will have to decide if you can handle the demands of that culture since you have now experienced this.

    ReplyDelete
  39. You want to marry the man you went on the visit with. So the man is the person you are going to live with daily in marriage. He has been apologetic and begging you on the "village conduct" of his cousin's wife. But you are still on the matter. The offense was not by your man's Mother, or step mothers, or any of his siblings. Yet you vex long like this? If you marry this man and he offends you nko? Naim be say he go beg for 1 year?

    Look, no matter the sweetness of your love now, offenses arise in all marriages. Your long vexing power shows you are not yet ready for the marriage or you both have not yet settled the values that will guide the expected marriage. Culture clashes and surprises are ever present in Inter-tribal marriages. So, quickly start settling your marriage values with the man or go buy vex containers. If your prospective husband is close to his sibling from all mothers in his father's house, buy more containers and increase your vexing power because you are likely to see more reasons to vex. Trust me on this. Just dont ask me how I know.

    Em, why does your post read as if you are condesending? Your mention of earning same salary with your man, your beauty and your not looking cheap appears at first glance as completely out of place in a post about the hosting intelligence of your man's counsin's wife. But your mentioning them gives an insight into your relationship with your man. It potrays you feel you are doing the man a favour. This might be why you do not want to let go of an offense he did not committ.

    Please go look for a man from your tribe. His family (your in-laws) are likely to have same world view as yours. While at it, ensure he earns three to five times than you. No time to explain why here. But let me try. Most women take their husband's salary as theirs. They look for same amount from their husbands for their needs, another equal amount for wants, and another equal or more amount for the family. The man needs to keep equal or more amount as his. It is when a man is able to do those he is treated by most women as being in the same financial class as his wife. This is why your man's salary and work level were worthy of mention in this post though TOTALLY unrelated to the food matter.

    No, I am not Igala. I am Niger-Deltan.

    Abeg no vex o. My people say truth is always worty of being told. When I seek advice, I seek those who tell me the blunt truth though bitter hear.

    Peace!

  42. Probably they had a leftover bean. And as a guest, she will be served first while their brother wait.
    Poster could have said that she doesn't like beans instead of making a mountain out of a molehill. You ate the beans (yes,
    even if a spoon), asked for its species and the spices she made it with to make feel good.

    You acted like a pretender.

    This is one of the reasons I don't just serve any visitor food anyhow. If we have variety of already prepared food, I will inform guest(s) and ask the them to choose. If we have one or two that cannot serve all guests, I let each choose what to eat.

    I hate dramas. I hate when my good intentions are misconstrued as evil.

  43. Dear poster you aren't welcomed in that family.it wasn't right for her to serve both of you different meals.or did she at any point seek both of you consent before serving the meals???.
