Shey you get?  Anyways, my friend Funmie called me and told me about her Yoruba friend in Boston (let&#8217;s call her miss Y) who is dating an Igbo guy.  The story is that they had a fight (which was the girl&#8217;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&#8217;s school with flowers.  As if that&#8217;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&#8217;t need to tell you how the night ended.  So you see, situations like this one leaves a girl (me) wondering nothing other than&#8230;.. why the hell is he dating her and not <em>me?!<\/em>  Haha.  Ok seriously, it leaves me puzzled&#8230; 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&#8230;or at least flowers in general, but in my entire life, I have received flowers twice&#8230; from the same person (and he wasn&#8217;t even my boyfriend).  Ain&#8217;t that a shame?  Damn skippy, it is!  I&#8217;m definitely gonna have to write an article about this issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every1 and their mama already know how much I admire Igbo men. Why?
