According to Laide, Eniola called her about the man, who was reportedly eager to speak with her. She said she could hear him in the background pleading for her contact and assuring Eniola that he was serious about his intentions.
“He was telling, ‘Give me her number, give me a contact now. I want to marry her, I’m serious, I love her. I will treat her well, I will take care of her.’”
Laide said she later called Eniola to find out what they had been discussing, only for Eniola to tell her that the man had to pay before getting access to her.
“She said, Don’t mind him, don’t mind him. If he must have you, he must come through me and he must pay through his nose.”
Laide added that the man eventually reached out to her months later, describing the entire situation as an example of why she knows when something is fake.
She further said she wondered what could have happened if the man was financially comfortable and genuinely capable of taking care of her, yet was still being prevented from getting her contact.
“So to me, I’m like, what if he is a fine guy, he has money, you know that he will take care of me? Oh, and you still deny me,what did I do to you?” She said.

Laide seems deeply aggrieved, but to an extent, I can relate. Some of these friends are something else. I have experienced something a bit similar.
ReplyDeleteImagine my shock when I heard a friend repeatedly telling a man pleading with her to give him my contact to pour water on the ground if he wanted to step on a cold floor... whatever that means.
I kept my distance from her, not because she didn't give him my contact. After all, I wasn't even interested in him. But the shock was too much because I never knew that lady could talk like that! It was like I was looking at a different person.
You needed to see her mannerisms and expressions. It just put me off. Give him or don't give him, what's pour water on the ground? She kept contacting me, and she could tell it was one-sided, but eventually left me alone when I refused to marry her cousin.
It's only God knows how much she collected from that one.
What kind of mentality is that? Just open a matchmaking business already!
What she meant literarily was that he should give her something before he can give him your number. In Yoruba palance ‘ eniti o ba da omi siwaju loma tele tutu’
DeleteThanks. I suspected that was what she meant, hence my assumption that she must have collected money from her cousin as well.
DeleteI wasn't shocked by the proverb,I was shocked by the performance that accompanied it.
It was just the audacity and the manner in which she said it that baffled me. She was actually stretching out her palms towards the man who asked for my contact. She suddenly started looking like an estate agent collecting agency fees for a property viewing.
That was why I kept my distance from her.
I rated her more highly than that, I guess, hence the shock.
shame no dey catch these aunties ?
ReplyDeleteShameless woman 🥺🥺🥺
ReplyDeleteThese na normal tin na
ReplyDeleteYou think she wants to stand in your way but she called you when he was there?
How much did she ask for that he couldn’t pay
If he couldn’t pay what makes you think he’s interested
She told you herself what she told him so you should have then to give your number without payment instead you held a grudge
Toorh
DeleteI just tire! What sort of pettiness is this? At this age? Even if it happened years ago, you all weren't kids!!
DeleteI don't think it's anything to hold a grudge against
ReplyDeleteSe na everything una go open mouth tok., can't you ladies learn from Riri, Genny, Omosexy, Jennifer, kate and the rest of them classic Nollywood chicks.
ReplyDeleteMan this, Man that every nkwo market, tufiakwa!
@anon:14:05. You sound so cheap. So if a man asks for your friend's number you will boldly ask him to pay, how do you want such a man to see you,abi you never see money before?
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to share such experiences but...but... ya di ba.
Reason being that shame dey leave them come dey catch me,as in I'm ashamed on their behalf.
