Naija Men & Romance

Every1 and their mama already know how much I admire Igbo men. Why? Because I hardly see/meet them. Igbo men (for me) are scarcer than 50 kobo koins, but when they become as rampant as 1000 naira notes, then I’ll probably change my views about them. Shey you get? Anyways, my friend Funmie called me and told me about her Yoruba friend in Boston (let’s call her miss Y) who is dating an Igbo guy. The story is that they had a fight (which was the girl’s fault) and after that, they did not talk for three days. He (the Igbo boyfriend) took it upon himself to go to Miss Y’s school with flowers. As if that’s not enough, he blindfolded her and took her to a hotel with rose petals on the bed, on the floor, and in the bath tub. I don’t need to tell you how the night ended. So you see, situations like this one leaves a girl (me) wondering nothing other than….. why the hell is he dating her and not me?! Haha. Ok seriously, it leaves me puzzled… or maybe shocked @ the fact that there is such a romantic Nigerian guy on this Planet Earth that I live on. I was starting to think that maybe I lost my residential space on Mars (where the rest of the men are). In my entire dash-dash years of life, I have NEVER met a Naija man as romantic as the one I just told you about. I love roses…or at least flowers in general, but in my entire life, I have received flowers twice… from the same person (and he wasn’t even my boyfriend). Ain’t that a shame? Damn skippy, it is! I’m definitely gonna have to write an article about this issue.
