He now wants to be called Gbenga. No longer Wes. Not Lee. Not even Wesley. But Gbenga. On a side note: the illness, multiple personality disorder is no longer called multiple personality disorder. It’s now called Dissociative Identity Disorder. Moving along…
Remember the guy who asked Funmi out and said his name was Wes and then asked me out and said his name was Lee??? I told you that technically he did not lie anyway because Wes & Lee are both forms of Wesley, but it was just weird the way it happened. Anyway…
I ran into him again. Let me explain something very well. The boy first asked Funmi out some years ago. Funmi does not remember what name he gave her then. Then he asked me out in April of 2008 and told me his name was Lee. About two months ago, he asked Funmi out again and reintroduced himself as Wes. Recently (as in December of 2008), he asked me out – again. But this time, his name was not Wes. Or Lee. It wasn’t even Weslee sef. LOL. It was Gbenga. Imagine my amusement. When he told me his name, I had to ask him again because I thought I had heard wrong, but lo and behold, I did not hear wrong.
I think this guy is suffering from a few diseases: Multiple Personality Disorder (Dissociative Identity Disorder), early stages of Alzheimers, and maybe even some Developmental Challenge. I’ll explain. He has Multiple Personality Disorder because I do not understand how and/or why one person alone will go by three different names. And these are the names that I know of oo! For all we know, he might have some more out there. He has Alzheimers because he did not even remember that he had asked me out in April (I’ll explain in my next parapgraph). He also has some developmental challenge because that is the only plausible reason why a grown man like him will come and ask me out after literally gawking at me and Funmi hugging each other and talking. He just asked Funmi out two months ago. What nonsense! He evidently knew we were friends. People do not randomly hug each other.
So how do I know he did not remember me?? Well, let’s see. He asked my name again. He introduced himself again (albeit as a different person). He asked me out the same away. Honestly, he said the exact same things he said to me in April. I could not erase the smile that was plastered on my face as he spoke; the whole thing was just too funny. It was deja vu. I know that guys sometimes recycle lines, but please do not recycle to the same person. The only thing that is worse that recyling a line is recycling it to the same person…….and not knowing it. Ouch. Poor Funmi. She’s the one who thought he was cute. lol.
All I could think about while he spoke was, “This is good blog material!! I am sooo blogging about this…” I’m very sure I will run into Mr. Multiple Personality again, but I cannot tell you which one of him I will run into. Wes? Lee? Gbenga? Or a totally new person? I don’t know, my people. The most that I can do right now is wait.
first!
How about u add amnesia to that list. How come he forgot he asked u out abi u sef be chameleon?
Happy new year Vera and congratulations on the new aunty status!
Wes/Lee/Gbenga is a joker. Probably best viewed as blog material than a romantic prospect. I mean, how impersonal can you get? He must just go around asking girls out at whatever chance he gets, not that he likes anything particular about them. Very irritating in my book.
It’s funny when you meet people with this kind of ‘amnesia’. Do you remind them or just go along with it? I’ve had someone introduce himself to me twice (not romantically), each time with exactly the same comment about my name. A friend who was present both times pointed it out.
lol @ WesLee…!
how did the guy even jump from wes and lee to Gbenga…wld have made sense if he stuck with the white names…
which reminds me, i met two hatian today whose names are Schnieder and Fritzgerald….and i was like..ok! weird names for blacks ppl nt to talk of Haitians…
This is hilarious…Weslee. I’m sure he is desperately in need of a girlfriend and he really doesn’t mind trying again even if it is with different names…. Maybe, if u don’t like Wes, u will like Lee or maybe even Gbenga….lol!
buhahahahahahahahaha! Poor Funmie – I hope she still doesnt think hes cute!
LMAO! Well on the bright side… At least he didn’t say his name was AshLee or Adeyinka *shrug* But if and/or when he does please be sure to let us know π
You this Vera sha! The time wey u suppose sharp u go dey look like lucozade. Y did u not remind him now? So you were just standing there and smiling at him, no wonder he keeps coming back. He probably thinks he has game, and he’s one step closer to getting into ur bed. U need to practice a fierce scowl in the mirror, girlie. Or give that sucker’s info so me and him can have a chat.
Obviuolsy this bro has taken the multi-tasking theme to a whole new level.. Maybe the dude’s processors are engaged on so many fronts that its overloading the memory and he can’t remember… Or maybe he’s so smitten by “the two both of you” that he wants another chance and is willing to gamble that you can’t remeber him from April…….
it’s like Barney’s halloween principle in howImetYOURmother. go to the party with an extra costume in case you piss off a hot girl and still want to hit on her. she just might fall for one of your ‘costumes’.
in this case, maybe she thinks u’re more likely to fall for Gbenga than Lee. or, maybe he has a… wait for it… twin!!
:p
nnwanem nwanyi hapinuye’
This sounds like a movie honestly.is this really possible?we are laughing and joking about it but have u considered d possibility that it might be true????
It sounds really out of a normal world!!
LMAO @ Wes/Lee/Gbenga….right this is guy isn’t for real!!WTH?!?I’m sure he has a brother called Sal who asked me and all my girls out using the same lines, then at a houseparty, we hear him chatting up another girl with same line, we all chipped in to finish it off for him…the look on his face was priceless…some men are just dumb, dumb, dumb (Shona now humming So Dumb by TLC)
lmao…that guy is a joker…next time he asks you out just give him a resounding slap…nonsense…imagine not even remembering he had asked u out before….
i agree…this guy is sick! prolly has amnesia also like sting said…
Maybe you should record his converation the next time he asks you out and then play it to him if he comes back…lol
I need to meet this guy o! Just to have a laugh. Imagine recycling the same gabbage to the same person? So he doesn’t even have plans to turn a new leaf this new ‘ochara’ year, na wah o!
OMG that’s too funny! I would have called him out on his craziness. I would have asked him if he remembered asking you out before, and which one was his REAL name. And I would have said it loud so people around could hear…what can I say? I can sometimes be cruel, but it would have been funny as well! π
Next time Vera, do it. Just go, “Dude! Wes….Lee….G…ALADDIN. Whatever your name is, can you pick ONE name and stick with it. And can you stop introducing yourself, I already know who you are. Do you know who I am? Because you’ve asked me out like 2-3different times and each time you act like we’ve just met, you give me the same tired line, but give me a different name.”
Just saying girl. π
yep, when Vera told me about this, i thot she was joking…. sad story i must admit…me thinks the guy is sick and has issues.
Oooookay. It’s official. Baltimore, Maryland is the wackiest naija-based city in the country. I mean, from the calibre of men you report on, it is a single girl’s nightmare!!! I feel for you and funmi oh. Y’all need to head to ATL.
Perhaps he is simply suffering from amensia (is that how it’s spelt)?
this is beyond hilarious for real
when i started reading i thought you were going to quote a song but this is a real life situation
mercy
maybe he is suffering from identity crisis that is why he is changing the names he gives y’all
but about asking you out twice and not remembering you
hmmmm
def. Alzheimers
Hey Vera,
This is your girl Oby. Ok, first of all please, please tell me this didn’t really happen. I’ve never quite understood how folks that want to be “Players” have such short term memory. Does Gbenga, Lee, Wes or whatever he might be calling himself know he is on blast. You might want to email him a copy of this blog so he can learn to get his name/s straight…..LOL
Great Blog Ms. Lady!
lmao. dude is a serial toaster, or ‘chyker’ as we dey call am!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sting: Congrats on being 1st. LOL @ me being a chameleon. My dear, I no know ooo. Me sef, I need to go & check myself coz I no come understand dis kin forgetfulness.
Baraal: Thanks boo (for the congratulatory message). You're right. I think he just goes around asking chics out – not that there is anything particular he likes about the girl. It's quite disturbing. In his case, I went along with it. There was no point in pointing it out. As far as I was concerned, he was a dead end anyway, so whatever. lol.
Just Toluwa: I wish I could comprehend how he came up with such names, but I can't my sister. I dunno how (or why) he jumped names like that. So weird. LOL @ the Haitian dudes' names.
Anonymous: Abi oooo! No be like you talk. If you don't like Wes, you might like Lee. If you don't like Lee, you might like Gbenga. Your options are wide open for you. Hahaha. If I ever see him again, only God knows which one of his personalities I would be running into.
Temite: LOL. Abi ooo! I dunno for Funmie. I know she left a comment below, but I have not read it yet. Hopefully, she has changed her mind sha.
Au Naptural: LOL. From the way things are going, I wouldn't put that past him oh. Any day now, love. Any day now..! LOL
Nefertiti: LOL. Hahahahaha. You want to have a chat with him ke? This babe you don kolo finish ooo. My dear, I was smiling because I was thinking about how I would compose the story on my blog. I was thinking about the appropriate title too. Hehehe. People like him don't even deserve the scowl.
Danny Bagucci: Smitten ko crazy ni. LOL. He ain't smitten, I can tell you that much. Well, he obviously lost his bet because I remember very, very well. I even remember his exact words too, so he can forget that! I wonder if I'll ever run into him again. Hehehehe.
Geisha: LOL!! Twin ko triplet ni. He has to be a triplet and the other triplets have to be identical and also give the same speech he does. Either that or Wes/Lee/Gbenga did not understand Barney's law very well: he forgot that the law works at Halloween (or at least costume) parties….and ehm… wait for it….. HE MUST HAVE ON A COSTUME!
LG: Happy New Year, nwa nne'm. Ke kwa'n k'imelu??
QMoney: If you're referring to the illnesses, then it might just go and be true oooo! Me sef I don consider the thing tire, and I'm starting to wonder….what if…..?????
Shona Vixen: LOL! Oh, my God. Y'll did what??? I can only imagine the look on his face. Whew!!! So now you're sure they (Sal & Wes/Lee/Gbenga) are related ehn? Hahahahahahaha. Kolomental.
Afrobabe: LOL. Hahahahahaha. I knew you would come up with some crazy solution. I should slap him ke? Ah, babe, I no fit fight o. But if you'll be there when I do the slapping and you promise to join me in fighting him if (when) he decides to beat some sense into me, then I will go ahead and slap him.
Write Freak: LOL @ recording the conversation. Hahaha. Now that I think of it, that would probably work oooo….. hmmmm.
Luscious Ron: No, I don't think he has any near plans to turn a new leaf. I think he intends to continue asking chics out anytime anywhere anyhow. You'll like to meet him ehn??? LOL. You go laugh your head tire.
Saturn Moonie: LOL. I see this has really hurt your feelings ehn? Hahahahaha. Yes, I coulda said all that, but then I thought…what's the point?? This is so much more entertaining. Hahahaha. Maybe he'll ask me out again in six months time. Who knows?
Funmie: That's your boo oh! Maybe he's your husband sef. We don't know. Hehehehe.
Rosie: Is that where all the good men are???? Okay, lemme tell Funmi. ATL, here we come!! LOL. But seriously, there are some strange people in Maryland. There are good ones, but maybe it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
Standtall: That's possible, but that is not the only thing he's suffering from.
Kafo: You've added one more illness to the list (Identity Crisis), and it makes a lotta sense ooo. LOL. I wish it were a song…or @ least fiction. But nope…! This one na live & direct.
SnobFreeLady: Hey darling!!! You blog now?? Awesome!! My dear, I dunno how it is that he has not gotten his names right. Maybe he has different names for different days of the week or something. Hahaha. LOL @ emailing him a copy. Hehehehehe.
FFF: LOL. I couldn't have said it better. Serious serial toaster/chyker.
Hmmm, this guy needs help, like seriously ahn ahn!
Lmao..I remember when you blogged about him a little while back..Please you guys should pray or Gbenga Wesley oo!!
P.S your bday is in a week..yippieeee!!!!!
Lol. The dude is funny. Good luck with Mr. Lee! Vera Lee…not so bad. You can even put in a ‘Wang’ there for completeness…Vera Lee Wang.
Or perhaps just Vera Wes Lee
Lol! That is too funny!
Sometimes I’m in the middle of something and I think I’m going to blog it! But usually I forget – Lol.

Ms Sula: We have been meeting them right here in Baltimore Maryland.
Wordsmith: LOL! I should feel special that he liked me while under the influence of two separate identities abi? Hahaha. But you’re right o. As for your blog, well, whatever works for you, darling.
Man, you Naija people (+ Vera, who’s a Russian…lol!) need to read my brother’s blog. It’s the shizzt… I wish my blog was as fly as his… Hahaha! I have no time to “improve” and make it poppin.
ANYHOO,
He’s, I mean we’re a different type of Nigerian…America has corrupted us o. He has a nose ring, plans to get an arm sleeve full of tattoos while I love all Indian things and speak borderline fluent Hindi.
Check him out at

PS
Vera, I hope 2009 is going well for you so far. Hopefully, you’re coming out to DC for Obama weekend. Let me know if they are any Naija parties. You’re social with them, not I. LOL!
We should meet up!
HOLLER!
PSS
Is Wes/Lee/Gbenga/Mr. Multiple Personality fine?
I have a cousin whose looking for a husband and she’s a crazy bitch too.
Hahaha!
LOVE!
this is beginning to read like a bad naija movie.
and i thought there were strange people in TX.
i second aloted’s advice please ehn you might need to change your waka in this afa 2009.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL….
Dorah: Nawa o. You and your brother are really a different breed of Nigerians. As of now, I have no intentions of coming out to DC. The traffic will be mad mehn. It’ll be freezing outside, and I’ll be standing 10 miles away from the actual inauguration. Makes me feel some kinda way. As of now, I know of no Naija parties, but I’m sure there are plenty of them. I’m not much of a party person (except like weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, etc).
Reverence: My waka don change already oh, my sister. I no fit to dey meet this kin people all the time (although they do amuse me). But you know…. hehehe.
Jaycee: Help me laugh oh, my sister. It’s funny, isn’t it?
lol! could he be a twin? Cos this is scary
to some guys its all a game. good post
lmao………. the guy’s really creepy o… did u guys tell him u’d met before???????? ha, na wa o
Now I can’t believe you are waiting for him to come back…:-)
LOL @ “This is good blog material…”
How annoying!!!You both should call his bluff, together. Infact, in public maybe he will learn his lesson.
MW, Vera, Vera, Vera!!!! How many times did I call you??
Is it because I refused to marry yr brother that you stopped visiting my blog?? take yr time oh!
Afterall, I’m still waiting for the maybach so we can do this Igbankwu sumtin..
Lol.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Vera, where do you keep meeting dodgy guys like Wes/Lee/Gbenga? Like somebody said, maybe he’s a twin and they both have the same taste in women and they both practice the same lyrics before they leave the house! Hence both of them hitting on you like that…
Or perhaps he’s just a disturbed, unimaginative individual…
BTW, Happy New Year dear, I can see that this is going to be a really verastic year so I’m keeping an eye on your blog…
Solomon Sydelle: It's definitely creepy, but he sure ain't no twin. That's for sure.
Dada's Luv: I guess so. Thanks, boo!!
Funms The Rebirth: No, we did not tell him oh. We just let him go on and say whatever he wanted to. For me, it was (still is) all about humor. So whatever.
Rita: LOL. Of course this is good blog material. Ah, I'm waiting to see him again oh. Abi una no wan entertainment? LOL.
Sleek n Catty: Tufia kwa! Me, refuse 2 visit your blog??? Lai lai. On the contrary, my laptop is so weird. It won't lemme leave comments on blogs that have comment boxes like yours. Ex: I can't leave a comment on Chari/Buttercup's blog & Afronut's blog, and someone else too that I cannot remember right now. As for the igba nkwu, omelu eme!! E go happen by fire whether you like it or not.
Favored Girl: LOL. Hahahaha. I think I'll go for the latter explanation, "he's just a disturbed, unimaginative individual…" And yes indeed, it's gonna be a very Verastic year. Amen!! Why shall I shy?
anytime……thanks fo stopping by. come by more often…shes truly a blessing from God
Dada’s Luv: I’ve blog rolled you, so I’ll definitely come back.
