A year ago, I wrote an article – Top 12 Reasons Why Igbos & Yorubas Should Not Marry. This write-up was posted on several Nigerian sites, and it was written in my usual style: drenched in overflowing sarcasm. Ever since I put that post up, I have received all kinds of insults, and they have been hilarious. Some people comment and understand what angle I’m coming from, but then, the rest clearly have no lesson in sarcasm, and they make it a point to tell me how stupid I am. Sure. The things I have suffered in the hands of my readers!
The irony of this write-up is that while I was trying to highlight the flaws in our ways of thinking, some of the comments I received just further proved my point. But out of all the comments I received, I think my favorite one was from Sola. First of all, he called me “the so call Vera,” and I laughed my head off when I read that. Then, he went ahead to tell me that he wants a well-trained Igbo girl, one “who does not believe in all these rubbish post by Vera.”
Sola’s comment about wanting a well-trained Igbo girl
Specifics:
1. Good, well-trained Igbo girl
2. Age 21 to 22
3. She must be looking for a serious and godly relationship
4. And she must not believe in all these rubbish post by Vera
My people, please help me find this girl! Talk to your friends. Talk to your neighbors. Talk to your pastor. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Spread the word on your social media outlets. I know she’s out there, and because I am so gracious, I am going all out to find this Igbo girl for my reader, Sola.
At first read, I was honestly going to call Sola with the number he left in his comment. And I was going to ask him if he had any more specifics. Like, which State does he prefer she come from? How tall does he want her to be? What major does he want her to have in college, if any? Does he want her name to be Chichi or Amaka? These are all important questions! But I somehow lost my desire to call.
I replied his comment and told him that I would post his comment here. He came back and said that I should. Then he came back and said that I shouldn’t. Then he came back and said that I should. Doesn’t really matter. It’s my blog, and I’ll blog like I want to.
Don’t just read this post and go. Leave a comment and tell us where to find an Igbo girl to meet Sola’s specifications. And then, share this post on your social network so that everyone can help Sola to find the kind of Igbo girl he’s looking for. Alternatively, if you are the kind of Igbo girl he’s looking for, then please let us know 😀
Hahahahaha @the so called Vera lol I love how you give comebacks! Unlike some people who take things personally and end up in a back and forth insult session on blogs. I will forgive Sola on your behalf because it is very clear he is unexposed and doesn’t get sarcasm most of us who have been reading you long enough get you and understand your sarcasm it is the once in a while random new reader who seems lost and takes things to heart. Back to the subject Sola are you are well trained Igbo boy? We need to know so we can link you up with a well trained Igbo girl please give us your well trained qualifications.
Pendo, you have asked the right questions. I did not even think about asking if he has well trained qualifications. That is very, very important. The occasional reader who takes it to heart is always quite entertaining. Lol.
Even though the guy is “unexposed” and doesn’t get sarcasm, am I the only person that appreciates the gist of his comment. It shows a lack of prejudice that even well-spoken, exposed Nigerians do not have.
As to finding a wife, some people really do think it can be done this way …. I don’t think he was trying to be obnoxious at all.
Manny, oh I don’t think he was trying to be obnoxious either. He was just definitely amusing and entertaining. He has described his wife as if he’s buying bread: get me a soft one, not very dark, and make sure it’s fresh. Hahaha.
Lmao! You this Vera girl will not kill someone. Obviously, he’s not a regular reader and/or doesn’t understand sarcasm. I remember that post on Yoruba/Igbo thing…was one of the first posts I read on this blog. I loved the sarcasm though..
Like Pendo said though, you can’t be looking for a well-trained Igbo (or any tribe) girl and not be a well-trained guy. You attract what you are. Lol. So err…let’s start from you. And seeing that you will probably come back and read the comments, we await your reply 🙂 Tainz much.
In fact, I’m gonna send him an email right now to let him know that I have blogged about him, and he can come and read the comments.
And yay for reading the Yoruba/Igbo article 🙂
Ok tanks Vera 4 d blog, remember i told u dt i’ll really appreciate it if u do. @pendo, well tank u vry much 4 sayin am nt expose & nt use 2 sarcasm. I understand many of ds comedians vry well, dey speak ironically, dey neva mean wot dey are saying. @MsDawari, u’re a liar i really do understand her sarcasm vry well. I thought i got Vera attention not cos i said i wnt an igbo girl bt cos i called her ”the so call Vera” & went further 2 say i wnt a well-trained igbo girl who doesnt believe in all ”ds rubbish post by Vera”. After Vera went 2ru all her readers comment, she thought mine was d most amusing & entertaining of all, & pick it as her favorite. Bt 2 me, it wasnt d most amusing or entertaining of all, i say, mine was d best way of getting Vera attention 2 re-port it. Now am already 2 tell u more abt my self & d type of girl i want. Bt ds will be only 2 d ears of Vera, Manny, & maybe MsDawari bt i wont tell Pendo cos am nt expose, so i dont need 2 expose my self & d type of girl i wnt 2 her. Pls Vera, Manny, MsDawari, wot am abt 2 tell d three of u nw, dont tell Pendo any of it ooooo, lets jst keep it as a secret 4rm her……. I wnt a girl who can cook vry well, delicious food ni oooo, a girl who will be able 2 cook d food of both d two tribles. Igbo & yoruba food. A girl who is nt 2 fast, infact a lepa so dt i’ll be able 2 carry her. She must nt be 2 too tall cos i cant be jumpin b4 kissin her, or i cant go & stand on a stool 2 kiss her. I dont wnt a dark/black girl cos am already a dark guy, so she must be fanta(pupa), since am coke(dudu). She must be 4rm a gud christian home, a godly person who has d fear of God. Maybe i shuld pick 4rm Orlu in Imo, or 4rm Okija in Anambra, or Abia. Hey Vera, jst tell me wit a low voice, cos i dont wnt her 2 hear us discussing. U’re 4rm which state?? Ds is all i can say 4 nw Vera, Manny, MsDawari. So keep it save 4rm Pendo, dont jst tell her. All i ave say abt my girl is wot i’m. Pls am nt rude ooo, & i didnt describe my wife as if am buyin a bread or selecting beanseeds. Pls Vera we dont ave 2 tell everybody in igboland dt am lukin 4 girl 4 a serious relationship, cos if dey go cum in hundrens, den i wont ave choice dan 2 marry all of dem & becum d father of another great nation. My mobile number, email & 2go username is stil der, so u can easily contact me any time, any hour. Tanks Vera, Manny, MsDawari, and Pendo bt Pendo hope u’re nt reading wot i told dem sha?
Thank you, Sola! As for my State, it really doesn’t matter because I am not in the age range you’re looking for.
Oh come on Vera, don’t tell me you didn’t roll on the floor laughing. I did. Great job Sola …. some women want to be found like bread so to each his own. May they find each other lol
Manny, I don laugh tire. What else can I do? So I’m just resorting to looking. Lol. Sola is a very interesting character.
Never comment but I had to today. This Sola person is hilarious… And I mean that in a good way. Put a smile on my face:-) So for that Thank you Sola #thatsallihavefortoday
Awwww. Thank you, B! I’m glad he put a smile on your face. Really, if any post here can put a smile on a person’s face, then I think most of my job is done. Thank you. Have a blessed day 🙂
@B, tanks 4 dt & i dnt really mean she must nt be a fast girl, it ws a mistake. I mean ”FAT” bcos i wont be able 2 carry her, if it is necessary 4 me 2 carry her @ home. Since am 5.4ft tall, so she must nt be more dan 6.4ft tall bcos i cant climb ladder or stand on a stool 2 kiss her. She must knw hw 2 cook soup vry well oo, even cocoyam soup & different types of igbo & yoruba soup. She shuldnt worry, i can teach her hw 2 pound-yam, bcos dt is one of my best food, though i didnt ave best food. I like all food, as long as d food is well-prepared & delicious. So all i want is dt everytin 2 be pupa+dudu=?
Sola, I hope you find what you’re looking for. I’m sure she exists somewhere.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha omg I am only just seeing these replies! Sola “tanks” for making my day I hope you find your wife ooo
Late comers anonymous. You have been missing Sola serenading us with his comments. Lol. Anyway, in case you care to know, we are still searching for the well-trained Igbo wife. If you have any ideas, please let us know as we are actively searching.
Am i missing something??..dude just has a ‘list’, like everybody looking for a spouse you have the proverbial list, now hw the list is prioritized is a different matter. Vera you will be shocked when you hear what some ladies want in a man, let me give you one example, i have had lady say she can never evr marry a man without at least one dimple on his cheek and guess what ? she eventually did. So my brother Sola, you list might need a little adjustment, but no throway am fully, you have a right to what you want.
Hahahaha. At least one dimple??? Wow. Okay oh. Well, I ain’t mad at Sola. He can have anything he wants on his list, and I hope he finds what he’s looking for.
Thanks Agudosi……..
