I was speaking to my mommy yesterday and she told me that an interesting thing happened. I asked her what it was and she told me that a man from Umunze (I think it’s in Anambra) came to speak to her. He told her that his very good friend wants to marry me. I didn’t hear what my mom said, or maybe I didn’t want to believe that I heard what she said, so I kept asking, “He wants to marry who?”<\/em> I asked her this question four times until \u00a0mom was practically screaming, “You!”<\/em> She repeated, “He wants to marry you.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Chiwetel<\/a>

Chiwetel Ejiofor: He’s not the one who wants to marry me, but I need a picture to associate with this post … plus a girl can dream, no?<\/p><\/div>\n

If there was ever a time that I laughed violently, it was now. I could not stop laughing. I didn’t know this man from Umunze, and I most certainly did not know his friend who is interested in marrying me. But here I was being told that he was interested in marrying me.<\/p>\n

My mom told him that her daughter was not available, and you know what he said? He told her to “forget that thing!” I imagine he said it in the typical Igbo accent. He went on to ask, “Who is this man sef? Is he Obama?”<\/em> I’m assuming that being married to Obama is the only reason why I shouldn’t be with his friend who is also from Umunze. He also went on to add that, “Besides, Doctor’s daughter cannot be with a Yoruba man.”<\/em> My parents are both medical doctors, and they’re both referred to as “Doctor” as if it’s their first name, so I don’t know if he was referring to my dad or mom.<\/p>\n

The Yoruba comment certainly got my attention. Someone has been talking. If my “Suitor” from Umunze has ever laid his eyes on me, then it must have been at least 14 years ago, and I was a teenager then, so if he still thinks of me as I was then, then he’s a pedophile. If he has never laid eyes on me, then he needs some help.<\/p>\n

But it gets even better. He went on to tell my mom that his friend will take very good care of me, that he has many businesses, and that he’s very rich. It was entirely funny to me.\u00a0In conclusion, my Sweet Potatoes, I might be getting married to a man from Umunze soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
