A year ago, I wrote an article – Top 12 Reasons Why Igbos & Yorubas Should Not Marry<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. 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!<\/p>\n

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,”<\/em> 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.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Sola's<\/a>

Sola’s comment about wanting a well-trained Igbo girl<\/p><\/div>\n

Specifics:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> \u00a0Good, well-trained Igbo girl<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> \u00a0Age 21 to 22<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> \u00a0She must be looking for a serious and godly relationship<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> \u00a0And she must not believe in all these rubbish post by Vera<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Sola's<\/a><\/p>\n

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 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
