Hi Mama
I don carry follow-up gist come ooooh. Na me you post for HERE....
So, still on this matter.... There's a guy I used to know when I was a teenager in Naija. Childhood family friends, church family, plus puppy love. Then life separated us because of this abroad matter. I knew he got married a while back and I even congratulated him on Facebook etc. E don tay... like 9 years or so.
Anyway, since 2021 he had been trying to reach out to me on social media. He DM me tire, I no answer. I checked his profile and saw he was in same country with family. So I thought it was a case of contacting person wey sabi road. And I no get energy. Lol.
So around summer this year, he messaged again and I responded. That's how he chanced me that me I dey ignore etc (tbh, I have 4000+ followers on IG, so messages dey come and me sef no get strength for social media these days. Na just when I go vacation I dey post or the day wey person do birthday). I come tell am sorry. Gave him my number under the condition that I greet his family when he calls. He laughed and said: "okay oh! Greeter"
When he called we chatted, normal. He said he is on the road so no family to greet. 2 days later he called again, normal chat. By the time he called the next week he said he wants to tell me something... that his marriage has scattered for like 2 years now. Say he just dey keep am low key but if I check his SM all photos are down, his FB status shows single and she has reverted to her maiden name (i later checked and it was true) Kai! I felt bad for him because where we come from (christian background wise) such no dey common. And his mum is a very kind woman. She really liked me then and even used to call me to gist even though I was very young. I imagined her disappointment at all this.
Anyway, I sha showed empathy and stayed on my lane. He would send WhatsApp maybe once every 2 days and I'd respond when I can. After some weeks, he said we should do lunch after church on Sunday. I agreed. He came and picked me up. We went to some Chinese buffet and it was as if we hadn't even lost time. We gisted like 2 old friends and that was it. Dropped off etc. WhatsApp continues like 2-3 times a week.
Then I got a consultant role outside the city we live. I had to relocate for work. So put my furniture in storage and got a monthly lodge house with a live-in lodger. As I started work, focus no gree me look phone. He was calling and texting and I didn't respond for like a month. He sent me all sorts of messages asking me where he offended me and if he did I should forgive. Imessage, whatsapp, IG, FB. That he doesn't want us to be out of touch please what has he done this time. I didn't reply because it was funny to me. Me wey dey try settle in with plenty oyibo colleagues and onboarding.
Anyway, after 1 month, I finally reached out to explain myself. He understood because he too is a career person (also doing well) asked for the name of the town and said he was going to visit me. I should let him know. I said okay but I didn't. He disturbed me oooh and we finally booked a weekend. He came down - 2 hours plus drive. Brought wine, whisky and groceries. We cooked together the night he arrived. Had wine, laughed, gisted, remembered old times did plenty amebor, even called some old friends over the phone to catch up. Called his family to surprise them that he was in my "house". They were all happy to see me, chat etc. Then we went and slept. (Remember, I am still celibate oh. So na only sleep).
The next day, I took him on my 1 hour morning exercise walk, we gisted plenty. Went up and down the hill, thighs on fire.lol. Then we got his coffee and milk on our way back (I am lactose intolerant and don't drink coffee). I made breakfast and we ate. Then Netflix and chill. Then he was on his whisky na. I asked why because i dont know him as a drinker. He said since his marriage/divorce issues he has been drinking. I no dey do pass occasional wine, so I gave him side eye.
But there was just one other issue: I noticed he was getting chatty with the lodger. Let me describe her - she is in her early 20s, entrepreneur, used to live in this 3-storey with her mum but her mum took a job outside town and relocated. They are trying to sell the house but in the mean time, they lodge proffessionals like me in any of the two available rooms. Me and the girl no get wahala since i dey here. Na South African and she dey like share my food. When her boyfriends come around I just say hello and face front. One sef na naija. Lol. Another thing, the girl get biiiiig nyash. South African style. She's fine sha with her Benz wey her mama buy give her. Darker skinned maybe size 16. I am a yellow pawpaw size 8-10.
Anyway, she had a guest that weekend too. But I would occasionally see she and my friend chatting in the kitchen or living room. Didnt seem intimate and they were binging on the same series on Netflix. (I dont binge-watch but i sat there with my headphones and a book I've been reading and of course... SDK comment section. Lol). We share the kitchen and living room so except i confine him to my bedroom, they would sure bump into each other. It's her home too.
I cooked lunch that day, she ate with us. Then she offered to make dinner. This was the 2nd night. The next morning she made breakfast and we all shared. Then he had to go back. Before he left, he was begging me to take him seriously and not look at him like the small child I used to know. We stood outside and talked for good one hour before he drove off. I told him okay but let's give it time. We agreed to take our time. He told me to extend his regards to my lodger when she gets back. She had driven out before he left.
So I started praying about it as he left. Make I know wetin dey sup. I wasn't comfortable with the drinking but I know divorce takes a toll on people and only God can truly heal. I didn't speak to him that day. He called I didn't pick. He text me that he had arrived at his place. I replied: okay. We thank God. The 2nd day he called after work, we chatted for almost 2 hours and I went to bed.
Then I had a funny dream. In that dream I saw him exchange numbers with my lodger. I woke up and was like: what??! I had to go to work so was getting ready when I saw good morning text from him..I didn't respond. Then he called and was greeting etc. I just asked him: why did you take this girls number? He was quiet. Then he said he was sorry and he forgot to tell me. Apparently, he took the number before she left that day. Then he said I'm sorry i should have told you before she told you. I said: she didn't tell me. God did. He was quiet. I hung up.
Anyway, I sent her a text to ask her why she did that. She said she is sorry that she forgot to tell me he asked for her number and then sent me a screenshot of the text he sent her before his 2 hour call to me the previous day. Thanking her for being a good host and cooking breakfast. Then asking her when she would be in his city. She replied: next week but i will let you know. But that she was just "being polite"....pot of bullsh*t!
Stella, can you see what I was saying about disrespect from these men?! I was so shocked that even this one too would try such. See as this man just come stain my white for here!! Anyway, I was very direct with both of them about not liking this. And I was especially hard on him because he is the one I know. I would be moving out to a travelodge over the weekend. I blocked him from contacting me too.
Please BVs you people should tell me what I did wrong here oh! Cos I am soooo irritated and regret agreeing to him visiting. Anyway, I thank God for Baba Holy Spirit wey dey help me with dreams oh. If not....wetin people for take my eye see eh. Shuuuu!!!
Thank God you found out ooooh.... Its good that you are moving out...
So what are you saying now anyway maybe her nyash as it pass your own enter uncle eye ,🤣🤣🤣 better you leave let them start their rumple,best of luck
ReplyDeleteOmoooooo! But the nyash big oh, Be like those ones wey pikin fit stand on top, because e get valley. She come get narrow shoulder and round face. From the side view, she is shaped like small letter "b"... no joke.
DeleteLadies and their emotional ways of thinking, you are posting him and thank God he met someone else, now you are angry. How can you leave someone hanging for a month without speaking with him, yet he still came to your city, you are still giving him the I don't want you attitude. You think we are still in the 19th century when guys have all the time to be running after someone.
Delete18:39
DeleteAtink say na only me see am. I get work, I busy, I snub am, I get work.
Sorry for man wey no get work but dey find woman.
Poster, you rightly saw the man as persin wey no get work.
And by the way, the man neva stain your white.
You were not in any relationship with him.
He had not started anytin with the woman as confirmed by the test shown to you.
Is it no longer proper to show appreciation to an hospitable owner/co-lodger?
This lady shakara too much
DeleteBabe you have tried your race,and they keep failing you. Try another race,you might hit jackpot there.
Delete@18:39 - ehen?! okay oh. Good riddance na
DeleteHe met someone else and it had to be in her apartment right when she was already giving him the desired attention he yearned for. Yeah, right!
Delete@words on marble - you didn’t even add the fact that he was still putting pressure on me, AFTER he took her number. I wished he relaxed/went cold turkey after he met her so I can say he found what he really truly desired and faced it. Still texting me “good morning sweets” by 7:45am after replying her “let me know” by 6:15am. Werey dey disguise 😂
Delete@19:14- Ehen? Okay. I will pray about and try it out.
DeleteThank God for revealing to you. You would have fallen a prey.You dodged a bullet. Who knows if his marriage was scattered because of this kind 'philandering'.
ReplyDeletePoster since the Holy Spirit speaks to you. Ask Hom to show you your husband and keep asking until He tells you. Tell Him you are tired of guessing. I’m so sure He will show you
ReplyDeleteRooting for you girl. You are a queen
Zendaya
Honestly, this is one prayer I’ve prayed. I’ve seen husband for 5 of my friends (at least) in dreams/vision. They will be thanking me when they finally meet because the description fits perfectly. But I am yet to see my own and I really want to see. I don pray this matter tire and I’ve even stopped because at some point, I was not happy with God that He did not show me. I think God showed me this guy’s move because in the 2 hour call he was begging me that I should stop taking him like a joke that he is serious. Me I was debunking everything he is saying and asking why he couldn’t work on his marriage. I wanted the full gist but he claimed he has told me everything. I didn’t even pray that night; I just thought about it and slept. My plan was to call my elder sister the next day and tell her what’s going on make my mama find way ask his mother what really happened etc.
DeleteOnly for me to see dream! 🤣🤣🤣
No naau….agree ke?
DeleteHe gave me his side of the story and he’s an old friend. Very good friend sef that time.
But of course investigation would have begun before I decided to go full on, IF I eventually did. I was just reconnecting allover again and catching up, getting to know what he was about. He was the one pushing for me to take him seriously. I couldn’t even beat my chest that he wasn’t trying other women, if he truly wants to marry again. All men do this and even us women too. I am obviously a safe place based on family ties and Jesus-girl. I was a little concerned that that’s why he had been pushing for us to start because family
Introductions won’t be a big deal. Reason why I opted that we should give it time. I won’t just agree to be his or anyone else’s woman like that.
Poster thank God for you, just let him go because he is two-face and can never be stable
Delete💯 👏 👏
DeleteThat's a red flag already. He still doesn't know what he wants. He's wooing a woman, and at the same time collecting her neighbour's number. The Holy Spirit has shown you what he is, you did nothing wrong by blocking him. If not for the exposure, they would have started something behind your back. Thank the Holy Spirit and move on.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking same, the guy is a womanizer, no single atom of respect for a lady you are still toasting.
DeleteThank your stars that God loves you so much.
ReplyDeletePray fervently about any spirit husband projecting the wrong men to you and watch it manifest
DeleteMen with bakasi eehn🤪, now now this one here don stain white..
ReplyDeleteThank God you found out his style real quick girl!
Please Dodge/jump and pass this bullet immediately.
Thank you for linking him up with his next woman. Now, you can see why the wife left him.
ReplyDeleteNigerian women rarely leaves marriage just like that, it is only after multiple shege banzai. You didn't even find out why the marriage ended and you agreed.
You have been delivered from a smooth, caring potential wayward man or you may still go back. If he sees another one with a bigger nyash, he will follow her too.
KING XOXO MYSTERY
She was even pitying for him after he told her that he's divorced.
Delete@XO mystery my 16:59 comment was meant for you. Don’t know how it flew up there 👆🏽
DeleteNo naau….agree ke?
DeleteHe gave me his side of the story and he’s an old friend. Very good friend sef that time.

Hmmmm your instinct is very strong ooo.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣 honestly these dreams have really helped my destiny. But this one shock me. It was real fast.
DeleteAh… do they have sense? she later came to me to apologise that I’ve been like a big sister to her and she feels she disappointed me and I don’t trust her again. That please I should not move out.
DeleteI told her not to worry that as she grows older into womanhood, she would realise that some things aren’t worth it. She dey form sadness for house as I’m packing up my stuff.
You want man na? Chop it!
Yes but if they were just friends, they wouldn’t have hid it.
DeleteThis one no be chronicle na. Madam you no get problem. You dey form unavailable. Guyman see spec wey him wan score sharply yet you dey vex.
ReplyDeleteTechnically, you aren't committed to each other yet so I wouldn't read much into the young man's actions.
Exactly what I thought. You are so unavailable. If I were a guy too I won't take you seriously. How will you not respond to someone for over a month. Ontop you are on boarding process.
DeleteSharply? Really? I thought feelings would be involved? Oh, rather, I thought there would be something spectacular to you about the lady that would push you to her, stating your intentions to be involved in a committed relationship with her?
DeleteI don't just have time to type my own lengthy chronicle
Slim shady, you don't get Me Dogmighty, he is talking like his fellow wayward men,
Delete"Guyman see spec wey him wan score sharply yet you dey vex."
The line above means that he wants to quickly sleep with her.
That is how they sleep around and spread diseases.
Poster God saved you
That guy cheated on his wife wella. Don't mind the sob stories. He's not serious, thank God you blocked him.
ReplyDeleteAhewo Dey the guy eye. No wonder his wife left. Any woman that marries him will face the cheating that drove the first wife away.
ReplyDeletePoster you did not tell us what he told you broke his marriage
DeleteOK. We have heard.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on...... What do I call this?revelation?discovery?vision?
Collecting number is a problem? Are you jealous? You want monopoly, nobody should come close yeah?
Yet you won't calm down for Jesus. Truth is, with the way they related common sense knows they'll exchange contact.
He could be doing this, so as not to loose contact with you.
Anyways, I'm just speculating. Na only you know where the cloth day press you.
Others will advise you.
Una must find every possible reason to justify foolishness Smh at the way people think.
DeleteMind you the revelation was not because of number collecting but because of the intent behind the number collecting. The Holy spirit knows the heart of man. He knows our brother wants to score another one.
You are asking if collecting number was a problem and if she wants monopoly?
DeleteYou want to pretend as if you don't know his intentions of wanting a close relationship with her?
Why did he change now that she has decided to be open minded with him? Why now that she finally agreed to invite him to her abode to spend days with her? Has he not been meeting girls all the while that she has not giving him access to her home?
Do unto others what you would want to be done unto you. If you stop loving your wife enough and she finds another man and decide to give the man the whole attention I hope you won't feel jealous? If your girl friend does same to you because she feels you are not caring enough I hope you won't be mad?
@slim shaddy - exactly! When he sent me one long apology text, telling me that he did not mean any harm he only "forgot" to tell me (which is a lie because during that 2 hour call, I was making myself some dinner. she walked into the kitchen to ask me something and he told me to extend his regards ooooh. Me too I "mumuly" told her my friend says I should say hi. Not knowing they had texted each other earlier that day). I asked him that if the reverse was the case, would he be clapping happily for me? He replied: No. I replied: Okay then.
DeleteBecause when people want to, they bring all sorts of ammunition. But put them two steps in your shoes, and they can't even take it.
He is already attracted to the big yanch thank God he never browse ,that you guys are in the knowing stage ,that's how clap dey enter dance if you don't notice he will sleep with you and the lodger in the same house and clean mouth pretend that nothing happened.
ReplyDeleteI don't like when people don't maintain boundary what's with the bonding he is doing up and down ,as a man his rshp with the lodger will be hello hi why collect her number rubbish , you come visit me you collect number secretly from co tenant, na wa for some people zero boundary ,zero decorum because he see nyanch , and the lady nko how she felt comfortable giving out her number like that ,to be discussing what with someone's friend I hate loyalty biko
Ah… do they have sense? she later came to me to apologise that I’ve been like a big sister to her and she feels she disappointed me and I don’t trust her again. That please I should not move out.
DeleteI told her not to worry that as she grows older into womanhood, she would realise that some things aren’t worth it. She dey form sadness for house as I’m packing up my stuff.
You want man na? Chop it!
(sorry, i posted under the wrong comment before)
Pls move out and block both of them. Let them have all the time to themselves. Useless man, only God knows the rubbish he put his ex wife through. Imagine toasting two ladies t the same time. Ewu
ReplyDeleteMy dear thank God for your life. But you're an ezemwanyi and the earlier you settled your Marines, the better for you. If you need assistance on how to go about it then mail SDK
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't regret his coming.
ReplyDeleteIf he hadn't, you wouldn't have known.
Sometimes, you have to allow people come a little close, so you can know who they are.
Poster you see this comment, it is the truth
DeleteYou are very correct
DeleteThank God for the revelation. Don't take him serious anymore.
ReplyDeleteI don't get what's disrespectful here. After all it's not like you both are intimate or in a relationship here. All I see is insecurity from your end because quite honestly, he owes you nothing. He's been begging you and you keep posting him. Is he not allowed to make new friends ? Don't you have friends? Is your lodgemate not allowed to make friends? I sense that you're the jealous kind because I don't understand what her Benz has to do with your update.
ReplyDeleteYou no gree, e chook eye elsewhere you dey complain. My dear try and relax. You weren't disrespected rather you're the one playing games.
Naah! Not jealous of her at all. Just giving the full picture. But okay to your comment.
DeleteDid you say make friends through someone that is a lodge mate with her ,abeg make we no dey justify nonsense
DeleteSee them. This Troy can not take it if his girl does it to him o. Just negodu!
DeleteHe's not serious, good you blocked him, just move on.
ReplyDeletePoster abeg fashy this uncle, na one chance em be
ReplyDeleteBut they are still in the chasing phase nah, why must the guy make friends with someone in the same space with the poster abeg? Bvs shey una dey see how most men reason? These people ain't loyal faa!
ReplyDeleteMy sister, this is why I am very loyal to my career/bag. These men ain't loyal and God forbid that I shift my plans for one joker. You disturb me finish, I come finally agree to carry shoulder down for you, look things with fresh eye... you come shit for my church tell me thank you. Yamayama!
DeletePoster you don’t have a welcoming personality period. From your write up, you just don’t have it. Work on your feminine energy asap. You seem too uptight. A man needs a woman in the home with a female energy and not a woman who’s standoffish.
DeletePoster relaxxx and listen to the men’s perspective here. I’m a woman and I’m also seeing the other side of things based on your updated chronicle.
DeletePoster, it's obvious the guy has issues with boundaries and sense of loyalty but you also need to work on your vibes. I am a woman and I'll advise you to try dismounting the high horse that your background and career has given you a little to make you a softer and more appealing lady to the menfolk. I tell you , it works wonders in attracting men and making them stay.
DeleteThere is no perfect man out there, you could be the help a man needs to be a better version of himself.
I usually don't post because I have noticed that ladies are always advising others to quit at the drop of a hat. Really? Real life is a lot more than that dear.
In as much as the guy may be attracted to the apartment lady and already got her number which may be a deal breaker, I sense you need character check yourself. It cannot be about everyone other than yourself all the time (I am not asking you to give up your deal breaker/standards). You started the chronicle with lots of personal achievements that have nothing to do with relationship. Lived in different countries… bla bla bla. In as much as those things are nice to have and they become important for engagement and marriage, I feel great personality (true self) should be at the forefront when getting to know people. I have 2 female cousins who are professionals and internationally well traveled but relationship is zero. To the best of my knowledge, they have great relationships with God but they throw their achievements forward in everything and I would always advise them about character… Here we are, both unmarried at close to mid-thirties with lots of failed relationships (they love to be married though). This is my experience with my cousins. They were both born and raised in the US. I am speaking from a good place as I am married myself (man, who has been to to over 9 countries; both self and job sponsored) and an accomplished professional in the US IT sector. I added some details to let you know that I have nothing against you other than I don’t like seeing professionally accomplished women who cannot cap that achievement with marriages (if that is there wish) and I am still learning in the journey of life so I can advise my kids better (especially my daughter; love her so dearly).
ReplyDeleteI did not put any achievements forward here. Or are you referring to my old chronicle that Stella referenced? Just to clarify that that chronicle was me sharing about myself. I also spoke about being blessed with a spiritual gift but I guess you missed that part. So you saw what you preffered to see? hmmm... okay.
DeleteBut this your "character" narrative is stale sha. At this point, it is like an attack weapon to many women in my shoes. Oga, to be honest most men are intimidated by smart women, especially in the career/vocational space. As a woman, once men discern that you are a little independent, it cuts your options in half. Alot of men, even rich, successful, good looking ones, grapple with weak egos. And even when "we" try to play it calmly with the remaining half, many still end up being narcs, cheaters, gold-diggers, lazy bums and the likes. So what then is the point?
Have a sit down with your cousins and ask some heart-to-heart questions. Remove all preconceived notions and you might see that they have had some really good relationships that ended due to circumstances beyond their control; and also some heartbreaks too, that they had to heal from. Because of these lenses y'all wear, it gets to a point where they won't share like I am doing because... to alot of Africans think women who are unmarried "MUST" have a character issue.
See ehn... Let us be honest... Men will be men and God will be God. I know career women who have married in their 30s too. I even attended for one of my close friends last month in that same US (36 y/o, celibate too, etc). When I saw the vision of her husband she laughed me off because she had been called all sorts (difficult, proud, stoic, bla bla bla by exes, friends and family) but called me when she met him 1 month later. And it ended in praise.
Some women were born a little different and that IS okay. So you people too should give us a break because we don't fit into your usual box. Y'all like the benefits of these personal achievements and still condemn us for being great at who we are becoming. Na lie oh! We rise by lifting others.
ALOT of imperfect women have been wifed - and blissfully so. Of course hurdles will have to be crossed but chill, everyone's turn will come. Mine, your cousins' and other singles in their 30s and above. And all shall say... Amen!
Thank you poster, he talked about his cousins being single but couldn't mention any character flaws. Not even one bad trait except they had achievements. Like that is meant to be a crime. He couldn't read between the lines that they probably met insecure men with an inferiority complex and if they were truly godly ladies then they must have been meeting men who did not have the self-control to keep it in their pants and wait till marriage like them but still, it had to be their fault.
DeleteMost of the time, good ladies do not even marry on time let alone when they refuse to fornicate.
I don't even know why people love to pretend like married people have good characters. A lot of ill-mannered people are married. Don't we read chronicles here? Nobody is without flaws. This lady is here, a decent wife material, not a leech, a go-getter with a good head on her shoulder and very focused yet single while one who is very married is on today's chronicle section thinking of how to be a side chic to her married lover. Another one according to Dante is planning to engage in marathons** with her ex-boyfriend even though she is getting married in December yet the single unmarried ladies must have an issue.
Everyone is flawed even you anon and you are married including me. No one is flawless. The things you even try to twist into a flaw might be a solid man's weakness and the quality that would attract her man to her. When she meets her man he would love her with her imperfections.
She doesn't even seem prideful to me. She seems very open, very detailed, transparent, hardworking resilient and more of a chatterbox. I think she lets down her guard too easily. Look at her letting him sleep over and feeling overly comfortable that he started prancing around the apartment like a lost puppy till he jammed big ikebe.
I would just advise her to be mysterious and not be an open book till she is sure the person is the right one.
God bless you jare @ words on marble. I feel I opened up too soon. Even though they are saying I played hard to get. If I didn’t invite him to my house, he’d still be calling by now and telling me how he wants me. He was still doing it the morning I slapped him with facts.if I were such a badly behaved woman, why would he even bother searching me out after all these years? As a single lady I select who/ what I listen to oh! Because peoples thoughts can throw you off balance.
DeleteEveryday “character this character that”. Yet na we dey give married woman advice.
Ehen? Okay! I’ve left them na. They had better make it work oh…. Or it would just be another round of Sexually Transmitted Demons (STDs) and end of story. As I am typing this, Aunty has a never-seen-before guy sleeping over tonight. If na before I for call her for kitchen dey advice her to slow down, as a “big sister”. But seeing how she move? I ain’t even gonna waste time or sermon.
Delete21:59
DeleteWhen you guys need him (Dante), you reference him. But when you don't, he is talking ... or too much. Lol.
Poster
You have been advised to -
pray
try men from other races
sort spirit husband issue
sort marine attachment issues
look for men at your own water level (I mentioned that)
Tomorrow, somebody may add deliverance sessions at MFM, Lagos. (I would have suggested that but I do not want to be presumptuous reading your mentioned gift).
It is good you have been active in the comment section. It aided in understanding you better.
Nobody can tell you why you are not married despite you wanting to be married. Even you clearly cannot tell (despite your gift and having told others their who and when).
So long as you have pinned the fault of your singleness on only the men, you go explain taya to most men and some women.
See, this character narrative is not stale in your race. It has been assigned to women just as "money and/or sole financial provision" narrative have been assigned to the men. This is why the advice to look beyond your race is well grounded. Notice that you do not want a lazy bum, gold digger? That is because of the division of the narratives by genders, which has has been programmed into the genders and manifests more in our race. So if you meet a man who does not "disrespect" you, has no ego issue, is not intimidated by your career/vocational/financial achievements, and tick all other boxes, you are not likely to marry him if he is poor or poorer (lazy bum are most likely to be poor or poorer) or wants to eat your money (gold digger). Even if you condescend into the relationship with him, your programmed mind would repulse him into "disrespecting" you as you found out when you dated men lower than your financial level. That is how powerful the narratives are.
Ask women, they will tell you the importance of these narratives. There are women with men because of the men are narrating their parts well though ordinarily they have bad characters. Likewise, even on this blog, married women have been supported in untoward acts because their husbands are not narrating their parts well.
To be honest most men are not intimidated by smart women, especially in the career/vocational space. Some men, yes. But most men, no. "Smart high achieving women" have been sold the narrative that most men are intimidated by them. So they look out for and magnify what they call intimidation. Or maybe we should call that a stale narrative? Stale as the narrative that it is mostly or only good for nothing men who are not hindered by ego in relating to high achieving richer women?
Poster poster you’re not listening to constructive criticism. We’re telling you your character might be what’s chasing men away you’re being defensive. Open your heart to constructive criticism and work on it. It’s one thing to marry and another thing to stay in it. If all these men are running away from you, and disrespecting you, then it’s time to check yourself! Some things are just simple and straightforward. God himself won’t come down and change your character. With Gods help, tell him to help you work on your attitude so you’ll meet the right man. I really hope you’ll listen and stop hiding under “you’re praying, you’re celibate, dreams here and there etc…truth is bitter and hope you’ll listen to some of us that have seen through you through your chronicle especially this updated one. You really gave out your real character this time around. I wish you well.
DeleteIf you people like, talk from now till Thy Kingdom Come. Any man who sneaks numbers with my friends and starts communicating with them, is NOT a reasonable man. I cant marry him or take him seriously. That behaviour is sooo high-school and immature. If he wanted out, he should have gotten out completely. Feminine energy, character issues or not... dude should have left me alone and faced the other babe squarely - if that's what he really wanted. If he had even told me he likes her, i for no vex because i have alot on my plate than to argue with an old friend over what he wants. If that was what happened then your premise would stand. The fact that he was still pressuring me to consider, shows that I was NOT the issue. He knows me right from childhood days and knows my general disposition to relationships.
DeleteAs I said in other comments, we would see the conclusion of that relationship....I ain't moved one bit!
When have I ever told Dante he is talking too much? Continue with your generalisation but don't cry wolf when it happens to your kind.
DeletePoster, thankfully you wrote that a lot of imperfect women have been "wifed", also a lot of imperfect men have been "husbanded" .
DeletePlease dear, on this one, I wish you'll look inwards before the next guy comes around.
I wish.......
Thank God for you dear poster.
ReplyDeleteAs your gift na to see vision, abeg you fit see vision for me 😄😄😄😄😄
Poster, I read your previous post and this one. I am happy you brought an update and I know you will bring another shortly and we will all thank God for answered prayers.
ReplyDeleteYou see ehn, you will get married eventually and to God's handpicked man for you, so bookmark this page but you will need a great deal of patience.
I understand your situation perfectly. You see, Ladies and Men like you who live righteously, i.e. no fornication, have a personal relationship with God and strive to be devout are always encountering such issues. They will get revelations about other aspects of their lives, even revelations about other people's lives but when it comes to their marital issues they feel that God is silent but they need a daily self-reminder that even in his silence, his voice is still loud and clear.
Had it been you do not follow godly standards you wouldn't be here asking questions because you probably would have easily gotten entangled with someone.
After all, all you need to do is focus on the basic and shallow physical qualities alone I.e does he have a good job, etc while ignoring the most important quality which is godliness and the man's spiritual life.
Getting the right person to marry is not a walk in the park for someone who fornicates and isn't keen on putting God first and or trying to live a holy life but you went ahead and now decide to add godly principles to it and you think it won't need time to come into fruition? you said you are celibate, how many people care about waiting till marriage as a form of respect to God? God wouldn't want to give you to someone whose beliefs will taint yours or his lifestyle or way of life will pull you from him.
God is telling you to WAIT. Yes, I know you said you are in your 30s and you feel time is not on your side but God does not operate like that. He has how own ways and time.
Look, the moment you decided to be a God girl he took over your matter jealously and he would never let you fall into the hands of a man that would pull you farther from him. Men who believe in fornication, and lies, do not have regard for the sanctity of marriage, who live to satisfy their flesh and do not walk in the spirit and men who feel women are beneath them. He would keep them far away from you.
God is scouting for you and keeping you for one of his best sons. If you think God does not care that you are single, then why did the holy spirit run to tell you to avoid Mr roving eyes? You did not even need to pray to ask God for his thoughts on the man and God still came to warn you when he saw that the first warning sign he gave you, was ignored(drinking) God was just not feeling that guy on all levels at all.
I don't know how to say this but God didn't bring or connect you to anyone worthy all this while because it was not yet your time. He is the only one who knows why he is still keeping you and keeping the man he has for you on the sideline as well. TRUST him!
This is your waiting period so I will advise make the best use of it. Don't shake and be resolute to stand firm till God finally says it is time. You were not asking for too much. A man who is self-respecting and loves God, right? He is out there and he will find you. Just keep about your business and never let go of God.
Awww…. Thank you so much 🫶🏽 #screenshottingforkeeps
DeleteKai….I wish oh 😅😅
DeleteOne more thing, I don't even think God will show you who he wants you to marry without you meeting him first. I don't think he would show you his image in your dream the way you are expecting him to or the same way he did to your friends.
DeleteI think you are going to know who God approves of only after meeting him and after he has indicated an interest in you. Then you would have your revelation through your dream to go ahead. When it happens you will have consistent dreams that will be very clear and positive.
I understand you well, but seriously don't judge that guy by that action he took, he was not supposed to tell you he want your lodger number na , it would have been a disrespect also. patience and time changes things..... If God should show you the obstacles on the way if you eventually settles down bet me you will rather remain single but he won't completely show you but just know he will be there to water every Storm. Give room to people again when they make mistakes and apologize.
ReplyDeletePoster dear... The word of God says we should pray without ceasing 🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteI believe the Holy spirit will connect you to the right Man for You Soonest Mark my words.
I dunno why Special people like us, tick most boxes, solve other people's problem but ...
It is well dear !
Shey na
ReplyDeleteYou didn't do anything wrong. The guy na bad news & this could be the reason his marriage crashed. Please do away with him
ReplyDeleteThe most complex B
I see some people saying poster too get shakara. I don't agree,
ReplyDeleteAnd even if she get shakara it's was too bad of the guy to take that chick's number and that chick isn't loyal. She cheap
Rubbish, poster this one is clearly not your own.
Don't worry baba God will send your own
But you know say you sef no serious..
ReplyDeleteYou too dry form..
You think too highly of yourself..
You started the disrespect you're complaining about..
He calls, you don't pick .
You don't reply text and chats..
He keeps repeating for months and years before you deem it fit to respond.
Even when he visited and left, you couldn't even call to ask if he's home safe, he called you still didn't answer..
Turn this around, if you visited someone and left, called the person later and the person ignored, would you think the person takes you seriously..
Your lodger was a better host.. it's more than the yansh.. okay, the yansh is included 😁, but she welcomed him better, Gabe him time, attention, saw movies with him while you were forming what I don't know, she even suggested that she wants to cook dinner.. she's lovely!
The guy is a S!MP..
I wouldn't continue calling and texting someone who's ignoring it..
I won't apologize because I decided to move to another person who treats me like a human being..
Bye
He didn't decide to move. He was still bothering her for a relationship at the same time.
DeleteHe was sleazy.
21.27
DeleteHe wasn't being sleazy.. be was being size. He was keeping his options open. He didn't want to lose a nice good chic with fat ass all because he is hoping to land a lady that ignores his calls and chat.
I have said it here that I don't deal with hopes. I deal with what is and not what might be.
This lady does even give him attention, Asin even when he visited she no join am dey see movies like the other lady did..
He would even have to beg and beg before she would agree to see him, do you know how frustrating and humiliating that is?
She go just dey dey overrate herself..
Make Una tell this babe truth say she get bad character.
None of you here can be with a guy who treat you in such manner..
And she probably had no dream anything, she just suspected the guy exchange numbers with the nice girl, which is obviosed if you ask me.. the other lady was the better host. Positive energy 💪🏽
Well said Dante.
DeleteShe eventually outed herself with this update. Her first post made it look like all men who came her way were bad. If she treated all of them the way she narrated here, then the answer she sought last time is right in her apron pocket. Some Bvs told her that though in the first post.
*he was being wise
DeleteMisogynistic Dante, if you like carry placard about this “character” matter; e no change my strategy. I would only give attention to a man who really shows that he wants it and is worth it. Weekend wey I for use dey pray dey catch up on my sermons, dey research on my side hustle… na it I waste on top man wey never know wetin him want. You people want women who would lick the ground you walk on forgetting that the bible says you should love us before we submit to the love you have shown us.
DeleteI am a very beautiful, supportive, loyal, hardworking, prayerful woman from a good home. We don’t come by easily too. His new “babe” is here with a new boo this night smoking “balloons” (google is your friend) Person wey him senior for like 17 years?
I remain kind and loving to my friends and family but VERY cautious with your gender. Extra cautious because una own too much - especially with this una red pill movement. I twisted and resisted but he kept pushing so he sef know wetin him dey find. And he won’t get it henceforth. QED.
Wetin concern me with your life,.
DeleteI don't expect you to change..
If you like call me misogynist and whatever name you can think of, no be today. Insult no dey gum body..
Am I the one crying?
Am I the one sending chronicles?
Very shameless and irritating behaviour, not that you didn't even see the calls and text, you just ignore, saying you were busy, how long does it take one to reply a text.. then the most stupid one was after he visited and left, you no call oh, he called, and you still shamelessly ignored,. I can imagine you looking at your phone ring and laughing (foolishly)..
I hope you meet the S!MP you deserve,. Cos listen to me..
NO REAL MAN would take that bullsh!t..
E Deg pain you when them dey see movie together, but childish sense no allow you carry yourself go follow am dey.. and you're the host oh..
I have met girls like you, girls that lack common sense and think the world should revolve around them,. Them dey know say dem meet person when them meet me, I put you and your trash behaviour on check straight..
Na your type guy go follow dey, you go dey on long call flirting with another guy.. and no be say you dey even nack sec..
Osi na celibate 🤣😂
After you don nack ex in the past oh..
S!MPs dey suffer for this life🤣
Dante, for the first time, I agree with you. Poster doesn’t seem welcoming at all and this is where the problem is. Uptight personality for no reason, ignoring and maybe exuding masculine energy self and not in her feminine self due to past hurt and pain. You can pray till Tomorrow but if she doesn’t work on this aspect, she will continue to have issues. I’ll say continue to pray poster and I’ll suggest seeking therapy and unburden some traumas affecting you to properly date. Goodluck.
DeleteAnon 22:33 Gbam. She’s found the answers she’s looking for. It’s up to her to seriously work on it. You’re self sabotaging yourself poster. Your attitude sucks big time and you need to see a therapist to help you out. You need tools on attracting men first before even embarking on finding a husband. Goodluck.
DeleteSince he didn't want to lose the friendly lady over the unfriendly one he should have dropped her(the poster) and focus only on the other one. Why was he still holding on to the both of them trying to keep his options open?
Delete"He didn't want to lose a nice good chic with fat ass all because he is hoping to land a lady that ignores his calls and chat."
Why was he still hoping? And bothering her to give in? The moment he took that gurl's number he was suppose to step back from the posted if he had any common sense.
None of us would tolerate a guy like that? Well, we don't do the chasing.
A lot of guys has tolerated their love interest indifference and distant behaviour at the earlier chasing stage when she is still trying to check if she should allow you into her life or time. It would be a different thing if after the relationship she still behaves like that.
4.35
DeleteYou call disrespectful and total disregard distant behaviour..
No one should tolerate that nonsense.
So because you don't 'chase' you should treat people that do like subhumans? How would you feel when you're with a girl, acting right with him but he is refusing to commit or discuss future plans with you.. would you not begin to explore other (better) options?
Yes, he's supposed to step back but in another light, I might understand why he's taking it slow, maybe so as not to hurt her.,being that:
1. He met the girl at her place
2. He and the girl haven't started anything.
He probably didn't want to lose both, he is still hoping at this point, he was probably going to end things up when the he and the SA girl definite the relationship somehow
Dante, You sound like a simp who is picking up his self-esteem from all the nonsense women have put him through and is binging on the red pill doctrine. I won't even engage your unreasonableness any further. Your comments here? Trash
DeleteLol..
DeleteOkay 😁
Thank you @18:17
ReplyDeleteAt the least, she would not band you with us the "broke, untraveled/unexposed, and or intimidated" male Bvs.
Any female who wants to be married (singleness is a choice) and wants to learn more about men should seek counsel from a trusted male especially a married one. I went back to her previous post and saw where she specifically asked for advice from Aunties on the Blog who have passed the test before her. I just smiled. It is very good to hear from the Aunties. It is equally good to hear from the Uncles if the sought marriage is with a male.
@18:17, you have spoken as an Uncle.
I read where she wrote about hiding this or that. Again, I smiled. There is a stage a woman gets to in life she cannot hide who she is all round. In fact it is easier for a high flying man to hide than for a high level woman to hide. The reason is simple. There are more high top men than women. The man can hide in the crowd of men. And men are generally masters of disguises at wooing women. Most women at the "top" stand out by their records or self declare as she did her two posts. It may be better for her to fish in her depth of waters. The men there know her worth and she knows theirs too. It is expected, they would respect her (since she values that so highly). If they do not respect her. Then... Additionally, other challenges are that single or never married men are fewer at that level; the men at that level usually have more options of women; most of the women seeking the men are not quick see as insulting what the Poster would call an insult.
STELLZ, I''ve lost count of the number of people I've blocked or defriended due to this disloyalty of a thing.
ReplyDeleteNot that i even mind them being disloyal if they want, but at least, don't be two-faced while at it.
I do tell people that i don't mind mingling with the devil himself (figuratively speaking though 😁). Just own your shit!
I'm so 'immature', i can't tolerate disloyalty of any kind. People have told me severally to grow up and accept that people will always eff up. But i disagree jare. Oyinbo says "To whom much is given, much (more) is expected". I chose you (among other people) to be my friend for a reason. Live up to it!
Just Imagine! In this case where neither of them was loyal enough to tell her. They were both "forgetting" to tell her according to them. Awon werey, LOL!"
I've had more than enough experiences with people like that. So i can totally relate. In my own case sef, these were mostly people i would have repeatedly bent over backwards to do good things for. Parasitic bastards! 🤣🤣🤣
However, nobody is perfect, they say. I would have had my fair share of faults too sha. I'm saying this cos i noticed how poster subtly dropped some hints just to make herself look faultless. Only her... celibate, yet allowing a full blooded man to come sleep over etc.
I hope for her sake, those subtle (yet suggestive) details are true sha.
In my own case i don't even dream precise dreams like that. But Lord bless my gut instincts!!!!! It never fails me. And eventually, everytime, the truth always outs.
i wish i wasn't too lazy to write a chronicle myself. Poster just made me relive some terrible memories.
But e dakun! E de joor, ki lo de gangan?! Why can't people just be loyal?
Abeg, I am celibate joor!! Leave that matter. Something wey don close finish.
DeleteOkay, I’ve heard 😁
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePoster I enjoyed reading your gist 😀 and I like your no-nononsense kind of person. You did right blocking him. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
ReplyDeleteI love her
DeletePoster what’s your general location
Your man might be here
Is good you blocked him,but heyy just be prayerfu and careful l so that you don't use not answering calls or too strict to drive away you God given husband............. Josaria
ReplyDeletePoster may God direct your own man to your way soon. Pls Incase of next time if someone comes visiting you after the person left make you first call him/her to ask if they arrive home safely. It's something my mother taught me.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, what do you guys want from this poster? Dante says she was badly behaved but XO Mystery says she already agreed to date him. The woman was going at a pace she felt was comfortable. Get off her back. It is obvious that the lady was minding her business and being bugged by this old friend who turned out to be an unserious man. I think he really likes her but wanted to taste the other pudding and he got caught. The other pudding is also a small girl who doesn't understand how naija men roll. Naija man would lowkey sleep with all your friends and still marry you. That's how some are.
ReplyDeletePoster, as he is a divorcee and close to home it is good you took time to know what he was aiming at. It is good you had a talk with him and asked for time. I just don't think you should have let him around your house. The moment you saw him chatting with her, you should have called him to order. Got in the car and drove to somewhere to talk to him about rules, regulations and boundaries. That is where you missed it. As A woman this would come up as men no get sense. Don't ever let things get out of hand under your watch. If after that he kept with her, you would have had a good reason to ask him to go home.
That is how a grown woman handles shit. Please next time, don't accept anyone interacting in a way that makes you uncomfortable especially in your space. Trust no one and be sober and vigilant. Good luck! I think you would eventually land a good man. You seem to be a Michelle Obama type woman and not all men can cope.
Poster I love the fact that you’re responding to comments. It gives more clarity on what’s really going on. Others should emulate this! So we sabi know how to properly advise. My own advise , if a man gives you green light and shows interest, stop forming hard to get for a long period of time especially if you know he’s your spec. Also God probably wants you to work on some things about you because that might be what’s chasing men away. Or better still, ask some of the men you’ve dated and get feedback so that way you can make adjustments and work on it. Wishing you all the best. You will find the man of your dreams in Jesus name. 🙏🏽
ReplyDeletePoster honestly I don't see what the guy did wrong here. From everything you wrote here, you are giving the guy conflicting signals. You take your time to reply chats, like one month etc If I were the one I won't take you seriously. You need to go and learn how to encourage a man or else with your behavior you will be single for a long time. Men of this generation don't have time to be testing for too long. If you are not giving them green light, they move. As far as I'm concerned, he hasn't done anything wrong. He's not sure of you so he decided not to keep all his eggs in one basket which is ok. After all he has not committed to you in any way. For all you know, the dream you had could be a warning that you are about to lose this one to another woman. If I were a man, with everything you've written here , I won't take you serious . I may be talking to you and will still be shopping around. That's the truth and the person has not done anything wrong. Dating is for shopping around , not having sex o. You can talk to as many people as you want during the dating period until you sift out the serious ones and unserious ones and then finally make a choice.
ReplyDeleteDear poster. Thank you for writing in again to give us an update.
ReplyDeleteI really like your type of person. I like that you are a hardworking lady and that you have very good standards to crown it all, you are at that level where you hear from God. Love it!! ❤️
I have two women who I am very close to, that are just like you. They are both very dear to my heart. And they are both unmarried. Like someone said, I don’t know why it is that the right person is not coming. But I will suggest taking that advice of looking outside your race seriously. There are good men, Christian with good standards out there that are not Nigerians.
Saying a prayer for you, that you find your own at God’s appointed time. And He will make it perfect!!!
To clarify, both women are hardworking, driven, and also hear from God - in dreams specifically. Like it gives me the chills each time.
DeleteStand your ground my dear. Many will not understand you, they are not meant to. It is not an easy journey, but you know how other aspects of your life are easy and mind-blowing *wink*.
What a chronicle! Almost like mind. He contacted me after several years. Unbelievable. Story long jare, I no fit type am although I was at fault.
ReplyDeleteThe poster was obviously not receptive to the guy at first because he was a divorcee. She was a bit wary and uninterested. If he was a single guy I doubt she would have behaved like that. Don't let us pretend people do not always have their guards up when interacting with people with certain experiences. She was unresponsive due to that fact but the moment she let him come over, that was his cue she was having a second thought. The sleep over was a turning point and he should have utilised it properly.
ReplyDeletePeople saying poster was acting too important me I don't even understand again. Did you all read these part, when she had a rethink.
"Anyway, after 1 month,(after finally accepting to give the divorcee a chance) I finally reached out to explain myself. He understood because he too is a career person (also doing well) asked for the name of the town and said he was going to visit me. I should let him know. I said okay but I didn't. He disturbed me oooh and we finally booked a weekend. He came down - 2 hours plus drive. Brought wine, whisky and groceries. We cooked together the night he arrived. Had wine, laughed, gisted, remembered old times did plenty amebor, even called some old friends over the phone to catch up. Called his family to surprise them that he was in my "house". They were all happy to see me, chat etc. Then we went and slept. (Remember, I am still celibate oh. So na only sleep).
The next day, I took him on my 1 hour morning exercise walk, we gisted plenty. Went up and down the hill, thighs on fire.lol. Then we got his coffee and milk on our way back (I am lactose intolerant and don't drink coffee). I made breakfast and we ate. Then Netflix and chill."
Wasn't she a good host enough? So because she decided to check her project on her laptop for a few hours automatically mean she ignored him?
And that was why he decided to get chatty with her neighbour? He lacked boundaries.
Do not mind them. A woman can never do right in this world.
DeleteChoose your stance, go and grow by it. It may be lonely but at least you have peace. Peace can never be purchased!
Poster in life when we have tried everything and still no result, we try something else different from what we have been doing.
ReplyDeleteI will like to suggest to you to build an alter in your church, if you belong to a Bible believing church, prepare a fat envelope with an amount that will cause you something. Write your full name inside that envelope and write marital settlement alter. Take that envelope to the altar in your church, pray with it by mentioning the type of marriage or a man you want. Give God time that you want it to happen, cry to him about settling this aspect of your life.
After praying on the altar with your envelope, just take it to your pastor and give it to him. Leave the rest for him to complete and see how this battle will be taken care of. But remember your pastor must understand spiritual battles, I mean your church must be a Bible believing church before this can even work.
Wow!! Many of the comments are mind blowing and quite understanding. Thanks for all your advice and feedback. Love, peace and light. Xx.
ReplyDelete@04:02
ReplyDeletePoster narrated the efforts the man made only because she wanted to highlight why she found the man's action disrespectful. Clearly, she is big on respect from men generally and from dates/suitors - it echoes from her first post into this post (update).
Though she presented it as if the man was working overtime by himself, She clearly made him work. That is why she is so much disappointed by his action.
She personally do not have any respect for the younger woman. This shows in her post and comments. Any man who finds it worthy to be friends with the younger woman would definitely fall on the wrong side of the Poster. So, the closeness between the man and the girl was already a trigger for her. Even if there was no exchange of numbers, the relationship would not have gone far after the visit.
The man get him own for body. Who visits a woman first time and become so chummy with the female home owner when the primary host is not a guest but a fee payer to the home owner, and then goes on to collect the home owner's telephone number to chat her up later.
Poster also get her own for body. She is proud. Essentially, not is wrong in being proud. The assessment of her being proud is based on her two chronicles read together. It is not based on her throwing this man's name off her dating schedule. How can a woman date several men and post that all, yes ALL, were "disrespectful". The very least that can be said in her favour is that she has no eyes or skills for pre-selecting men. Her not seeing this inability is also a sign of pride. In this case, all those time she spent on (shakara / I busy/ I am onboarding, etc.) stone-walling the man should have been used in engaging family and mutual family friends in Nigeria to do discreet investigations on the man and his divorce. She would have known then whether or not to even allow him into her space to come see the big b shape yansh.
As a corporate person, she must be aware of background checks based on application/proposal letters alone even before applicants/senders are invited for prelim talks.
Her husband is out there. Let her let God, or do her search work well within her waters. Because if she goes out of her familiar same top level corporate and financial achievement waters, and sees a "respectful" man there, she may think him only so because of benefits expected from her.
Mr. Mann
Poster guuurl... I love you. I love you sooo much. You remind me of my younger self. I was hard working, feisty and a no bullshit young woman. I did not pray like you but I was fair to people and did good when I could. They talked and talked about me when I was in my 30s and unmarried. Exes laughed at me.
ReplyDeleteMy dear, Nigeria is not ready for women like us. Africa, even. Forget Dante and all those Nigerian men. When they come abroad, their orientation will change. But there are some men who get it. At 37, I married one of such men. He is better than all my exes and treats me like a queen and does not keep ears down to what people say. He isn't perfect and I don't even want him to be. But he understands the core of building successful relationships.
You did nothing wrong by making the divorced man work for your attention. Where was he when you moved abroad and worked to rise? If you were not doing well (based on social media) he would not have sought you out for years.
I think you were about to open your vault and then he messed up. He knew you had decided to open your vault so he didn't want to miss out on the side of you that gives him attention. He went from no response for one month to a night of food and wine, 1 hour heart-to-heart before leaving and 2 hour calls with you the next night. He had gotten there but had f**ked up before he did and did not know how to manage it. He must be mad that his hard work of several years went to the drain and let's face it you are mad too. You do have feelings and that's why you're moving out.
I don't think you are proud. You seem like a kind person who likes order and has standards that many men don't want to bother with. Take it from me my darling, God WILL SETTLE YOU. I was once like you and now I'm 10 years in my home. I have a beautiful loving home. If God did mine with little prayers, how much more yours.
Hugs darling.
And stay celibate. Saves you nonsense.
I concur that poster is full of herself and probably rates her self subjectively more than an objective observer would. And probably likes to hear herself talk as well becos who wants to read all these long epistle when the point can be summarized in about 4 to 6 lines. How do you have time to type this small book when you claim to be so busy, even your last chronicle was same. Pls.learn to get your thought to the point, it's not feasible to maintain one's concentration over something so banal, so terribly mundane.
ReplyDeleteErrr… I took the day off yesterday to move to travelodge and Stella hinted me that the post would be up . I’d been waiting to engage different view points and I’ve done so successfully. I enjoy SDK banter and than doesn’t make me less busy than any well-meaning person out there.
DeleteLastly, might I add that I’m a whooole big deal and more, by the grace of God. Rest in Jesus name.
*hugs* thank you for sharing 🫶🏽
DeleteMr. Mann e for pain me well well if I did not make him work to spend time with me, before this whole ish happened.
DeleteBut you sef… how do I start investigating someone I don’t even know that I want to date/be with? Wouldn’t it be a waste of time and effort? My thoughts were - you come and visit, I see if we’re able to even co-exist in the same space, then I do my background checks. Note that I know this person to an extent - parents and all. It’s not like a complete stranger. Any remaining background checks were supposed to take place after we talked and I saw something to hold on to. And voila! I didn’t even need to. God did it! 😅
Poster no be you talk say you busy ni? So after this your long story you still have time to respond to every opinion with long replies as well? Hmmm! I smell a rabbit anytime the theory and practical no gel.
ReplyDelete@15:30 Busy for man. Not busy for SDK banter. I even said I was on SDK comment section while he was on Netflix. But you are right... rat can be smelt.
DeleteHalf of the comments are from the poster, na wa o, it doesn't really allow for diversity 9f opinion now, does it? Are posters meant to respond to every comment sef???
ReplyDelete@15:30 Oops! So I've been on SDK blog for maybe 9 years. I don't think there are any rules to posters responding. If there were, Stella wouldn't even post my replies. I am also happy people have responded to my replies. Shows that we are invested in this banter - good or bad. Lol.
Delete❤️ your response poster.
DeleteTo me you didn't do anything wrong. Since you are good spiritually, why don't you ask God for the way forward? He probably be pointing out something for you since, but you are not noticing it or ignoring it because it wasn't what you want.
ReplyDeletePoster as one of the 'aunties' on this blog who's been married for several years, my sincere advice to you is to calm down. I actually kinda agree to Dante's line of thinking. You come off as full of yourself and proud. I had friends like that who are well into middle age now and still unmarried. I was like you too but I had to change. You come here seeking advice but sincerely you are not interested in any advice or constructive criticism. You come off as unteachable and that is a red flag. Trust me if I were a man, I will not pursue you. You need to learn how to attract a man. Funny enough if I were you, I'd learn some points from the lodger lady on how to attract a man. Not with sex . I'm also team no sex before marriage! The guy is keeping his options open, there's nothing wrong with that. You need to understand that until he makes a commitment to you, he is free to take as many numbers as he wants. He has not done anything wrong. You are also free to talk to other guys and take or receive calls from as many guys as possible in the dating stage. Dating is for trial. It is in courtship that you narrow down on one person who has committed to you. But as a woman even in courtship, you still keep your options open just in case. Until the marriage happens, you still keep your options open. Your ego is hurt that the guy probably was not satisfied with you and is looking your lodger's way. What does that tell you? Probably you may have work to do on yourself. You may not be giving out the right vibes to men. I suggest that you ask a few men you dated in the past for an appraisal of why you guys didn't work. You may be shocked at their answer. Receive it and work with it. Wisdom is profitable to direct. I wish you well in your endeavors!

Delete@17:37 Hmmm...
DeleteTbh, I don't think it's my ego being hurt thing. There are people who have come and gone to marry others we still know. Not new. I am who I am and they are who they are - by God's grace; no two women are same. It's more of a disappointment thing in the fact that he thought he could run me street like that, even when we understand our underpinning values.
So... when people like me are still on this mountain, they tell us to look back at the people we sort-off "know". Because they are a lot more verifiable than the strangers we meet out here. With this now, (to me) its like we can't even lose guard with the guys wey we sabi from house. We have to be walking on eggshells too? Okay na! Noted.
I agree with what anon 00:35 from 4th Nov typed. That as soon as I saw him gisting, I should have called him to side to share my discomfort with that. Worst case, he would have gotten upset and left the house. It crossed my mind that he was up to something. but I waived it off like "c'mon! He won't be that thoughtless". Alas! He was.
(This is poster, by the way. The name button is not working)
So the poster has a hurt ego because of a 20 something year old girl who lives off her mother, dates multiple men, steals friends numbers, smokes balloon (according to the details she has shared oh…) because of one divorced man who is confused about what he wants or doesn’t want from a woman? From both chronicles Poster obviously sounds like a career woman who knows her onions and has built her life by sheer grace and hard work and is navigating her love life. So because she escaped another deceitful disrespectful goat, she should do a character check? What an insult! Can’t you people see that that girl is a hoe and the man an irresponsible pr*ck? I don’t blame all of you. I blame poster for sending this narrative in. When I was in her shoes I made people sweat to be in my space even as friends. I didn’t say nothing to no one. When my man came none of the idiots who criticised me could even believe what I eventually got. That’s how you people want to make sane people seem mad because you lack comprehension and you are jealous of the lives we live on our own terms. Be defending rubbish until it happens to you or your loved ones. Such an annoying bunch in here
Delete@anon 1509 poster’s account was engaging, well written and interesting. It is not her fault that your attention span is measurable in nano seconds, no one forced you to read her account. There are multiple 5 second TikTok videos designed to engage those with reduced attention span like you. Some of the greatest literature in the world can ( and have ) been summarised into few words, does that negate the need for lengthier versions of such books? I laugh at you calling her story banal , your hypocrisy in reading the so called banal account THEN taking time to comment on it completely flew over your head. If anyone is full of themselves and trying to score cheap points it definitely not the poster, but you, with your rancid, wannabe superiority complex.
ReplyDelete@17:57- I tire ooooh! Only small gist e don vex 😅
Delete@poster The Holy Spirit is surely a revealer of secrets. There is a possibility that he hasn’t even left his wife. I know a guy here in Canada in his late 30s posing to be single but he is back with his wife and doesn’t want his family or others to know so he can still be travelling around probably hooking up with people. He and his wife have not updated their social media accounts but his close friends and church members know they have worked things out and are back together.
