A lady was complaining to me how she’s 24 and no one is checking on her as a lady. She doesn’t get morning text messages nor a late night phone calls. I told her, she’s not the only one. There are a lot of women on this table. She asked, or am I that bad? Am I ugly or is something really wrong with me?
I told her, don’t feel less of yourself and you are just good the way you are. This wasn’t to comfort her at all. I actually meant those words. However, to even convince her more, I sent her over 15 pictures of the people I know that I believe are more beautiful & older than her that are single. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She just exhaled and almost shaded tears. She almost lost hope immediately. She said, if these girls, 30+ are still single despite their wins in life, what about us that are yet to achieve anything? It’s heartbreaking 💔!
These are girls that went to the most prestigious universities in Abuja here and outside the country. Girls that their parents work in top organizations and some politicians. Girls that drive their cars and make their money yet, NO HUSBANDS.
I don’t want to believe these girls just choose not to marry deliberately. In fact, I wholeheartedly believe, if they can, their parents might be willing to pay a man off just to get them married to the right person.
The truth is, Men are scarce. Or maybe, good men are scarce i’d say. It’s not easy to get a good in-law. I just pray every woman out there get to find their own someday. It’s not even about a girl being ugly or +size anymore. No husband no husband ne and that’s it.
Today, I became scared of women all over again.
My boss gave his wife my number and asked her to send me a list of things she wanted from Egypt. She sent the list, I bought everything, and sent her the total.
Then she said, “Send this to my husband, but let me send you the list you should send him.” I checked the new list and noticed something crazy. 😭
An item I bought for ₦10,000 was suddenly listed as ₦25,000. She had added ₦15,000 to it. I went through the entire list and realized she had added over ₦1 MILLION in total. 😭
I asked her, “So this is what I should send to your husband?” She said, “Yes, wallahi. That’s exactly what I sent him, and he paid without even asking a single question.” 😂
Ladies, please… teach me your ways. 😭😂
