Calabar love...

 

It’s just a few days to valentine. The truth is that even though a lot of us don’t know the history of valentine (err who really cares?), we like to celebrate it. In Nigeria valentine is mainly about spending time and exchanging gifts with people you love or sometimes people you pretend to love just for the gifts. Hehehe. I mean who doesn’t like receiving gifts? (That’s NOT an excuse to pretend to love somebody though) Even those who say they don’t care about valentine wouldn’t mind spending time and receiving a gift from someone special. I’m not so into valentine but I seriously wouldn’t mind at all if I got a gift from a special somborri which could be you so for this singular reason…

 

 *winks* *joking*

In calabar where I am; there’s a lot of buzz going on about valentine. In the place I work, we talk about it every day now. The guys are looking for cheap places to take their babes to. Some are thinking about what to tell their babe(s) on that day. In fact one has organised a job interview for himself in Enugu so he will tell his girlfriend he has an interview to attend and then dodge. But there’s this peculiar case I would like us to talk about. This guy has two girlfriends. I asked him who he will be taking out among them and what excuse he will give the other and then he said it’s not a problem at all as the girls involved know he has two of them. And am like “what???” Then he tried justifying himself by saying that he was better than guys who had ten girls and pretended to each girl she was the only one. He said something that fascinated me. He said he started dating the second girl because his original babe was misbehaving so he wanted her to sit up. Funny thing is after 8 months she still hasn’t sat up to his expectations so the three of them are doing their thing.

 After I heard this, I felt holy anger. I couldn’t help but wonder how cheating on his girlfriend can actually make her sit up and how the substitute babe feels knowing she is being used. Then I asked myself what three of them where doing in that relationship. I guess they all have substitutes. But please respond to this: guys, will you date another girl because your babe is misbehaving? This is a weird question but ladies can you be a substitute babe? Finally, will you still continue in a relationship knowing your girlfriend/boyfriend is cheating because they say they want you to sit up?

Don’t get it twisted, love is a beautiful thing. This is coming from someone experienced.lol.

 

Note: I captioned this “calabar love” because it sounded good to me not because my dear calabar folks all behave like this. Peace!
