Back in university, I was going through hell, like usual. One day I walked into the cafeteria hoping someone might invite me to eat. I wasnโt begging. You know how sometimes a friend sees you and says, โCome, join us.โ Unfortunately, no one did.
So I turned around and started walking back to the hostel.
Just as I got close to the school gate, my phone buzzed. I had received โฆ7,000.
I froze.
At the time, I never received that kind of money unless I had been running errands for other students. But this transfer came from someone who had already graduated.
I flashed him, and he called me back.
He said, โNYSC just paid me โฆ30,000, and I thought of you.โ
My body became weak.
I slowly sat down beside the security men at the gate and cried quietly. Then I got up, walked back to the cafeteria, and finally ate.
These are the memories that keep pushing me to build openChow.
I spent more time in university worrying about where my next meal would come from than actually studying. No student should have to carry that burden.
Thatโs why Iโll do everything in my power and beyond to make sure openChow succeeds.
And through it all, Iโll never stop believing in the kindness of good friends.
"All men cheat"
Another lie they invented as an excuse to hand men children they didn't father. And of course mumu men swallowed this shit like sheep, blabbing "of course we are polygamous in nature" ๐คก
If only you could open your eyes to the fact that as an average man, even a disabled 20yo girl will get more sex in just a year than you would in your entire lifetime irrespective of your status or qualifications when all she needs to just do is to exist, you'd understand how too easy it is for women to cheat and why it's a difficult ask for them to remain faithful to YOU.
There's a reason why you'll only hear them say things like "cheat back" or "I'll cheat", and never to buy you back gifts or sponsor a man's education or reciprocate any good endeavours they receive from men. And that's because cheating is too easy for them, they don't have to put in a single effort nor spend a dime to get sex - millions of men are in their DM begging for a chance. You as a man how many people are in your DM begging for a chance? The average poor girl gets more sex and has more options than the richest celebrity.
Words that I cannot spell.
Boo k (like flowers that they give people)
Showfa (private driver)
Kolig (as in your workmate)
Fall straight (as in you fall straight me)
Silowet (that Shadow stuff)
iiii ( as in where a bride walks down during wedding)
