I Dey Find Wife For My Friend

Yes oh, u read right, i dey find wife for my friend. Dude wan marry today tomorrow. His last relationship had to end when he found out that his babe was AS (he is AS too), & since then nothing don dey look up as 4 dating levels. And bobo no wan dey play again. So, if you are Igbo, single & is willing to marry na na na na na, APPLY QUICK QUICK TO AVOID MAD RUSH.


This reminds me of my single days, when i kept dreaming & wondering how i'd meet my husband. I envisage that it'd be a man i'd been dating for ages - we know everything about each other, & just know that we couldnt't possibly live on this earth if we weren't married. It certainly didn't happen like that!!!!!


There is something about couples who have been in a long term relationship (LTR) that is so romantic. U imagine how grounded their love must be that they have lasted this long. & if u r inexperienced in the ways of the bees & d birds (even if ur eyes don open), u'd long to have something like that. Me, I've never been in a LTR b4 (d longest i'd ever been wit a dude is 2 years plus - including a brief break-up & a 'it's complicated' periods). But, believe me wen i say no be so i plan am oh. Like most girls, i dreamt that d first bobo i go fall head over heels in love with (not knowing say all dat mega love go die b4 u talk 'jack robinson') would be 'The One'. I thought we'd be so senselessly happy until the day we finally get married. Lie Lie!! Oya, all of una wey dey be me, raise up ur hands. Ah! We plenty oh. LOL.


The craziest thing be say dis fantasy no dey quick die. Boyfriend 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, uncountable.0 later, we just want to get d stupid fantasy out of our system fast fast. But, it creeps in on u wen one dude like dat wey u no sabi from Adam go ask u to marry him. U'd remember; "Na wa o. Na like dis i go just marry? No 'surprise proposal' after years of dating/wondering, so that i can breathlessly whisper 'yes'?" I wan know sef, is it that we love those nights of anguishing 'will he ask, will he not ask'? Why is it that a man who proposes first b4 u guys date sounds dry? Like, to know right from the word go that this is where this thing is heading is boring? Or, is it only me that thought like that?


I received several marriage proposals, but not one - not even half sef (hiss) - came from men i was dating. They'd hint @ it, kid about me making a good wife etc, they'd do everything but actually say those words: 'will you marry me?' Kai. De thing disturb me no be small. Like, is it dat once a man dates me, i'd lose my lustre? Eh, if dat na d case, what's the guarantee all these 'i just knew you are my wife' bobos dem will not run when they discover the 'real me' (after marriage of course, because those kain men no dey gree hear word when u dey shout no. Until dem accomplish their goal, anything u dey do na shakara)? I'd vowed that i wasn't going to marry anyone under false impression, so i rejected every of those proposals. In my mind, if a guy dates you for a long time, he'd have already reconciled with his God on what deals he'd be getting. Not to mention how romantic & envy-provoking it sounds to say that 'we dated for 5 years'. Apparently, 5 years is the benchmark between 'awwww' long-term & 'wetin-una-still-dey-wait-for long term.


But, my dears, when u don dey old small & u calculate d thing eh, u go jus talk sense into ur head. Abi na @ 28 - 30 u dey long for 5 years relationship so? Kai, God no go gree dat kain bad thing happen. So, u tell urself that one proposal is as good as any other. If the thing bother u too much, you go edit the 'the proposal' section of your wedding website to something more 'awwww' appropriate. Ah ah, no be u get ur mouth/website. Like me, most of my friends met, engaged and married their husband within the same year. The important thing being that:

1. d chick like/love d man, no be like say she force herself marry am
2. d husband na beta person - e no get babymama(s), e get job dey pay am, e no get corner-corner business hanging on his neck, & he loves d chick
3. no b d girl force d proposal out of d man
4. d two of dem discovered ways to gel & be happy with each other


Chikena! All these yarns na 2 get una to bone & apply oh.

Forgive me, y'all, but i just want to gush about my wonderful, lovely, sweet, terrific husband. Right now, i feel so super lucky to be married to him. I know you guys might be thinking he's this romantic dude that splashes his wife with expensive gifts/shopping, treats her to exotic dinner etc. Nada. MM is nothing like that. Seriously, he has never bought me a gift. Oh, well, unless u r counting the rechargeable lamp (which am not!!! Hehehehehehe). So what did he do to deserve all this praise!!!!!!!


U see, we have one car. We bought it together, just b4 our wedding. Actually, he bought it more like it. I just contributed some change to lessen his burden. Anyways, he'd been the one driving the car cos i didn't know how to drive. But, i just recently finished driving school & got my license in anticipation of starting my new job (my fmr job was close to home, so i biked to work). Guess wot MM did? He left the car - yes, that one car that we have - he left it for me. He goes to work n back with the Staff Bus. I haven't started the job, am still @ home so i don't go anywhere much. Still he left the car, cos he didn't want me taking buses now that i can drive (he knows how much i hate communting around in Lagos).


I was so touched by this. I mean, he sacrifices his own comfort to make me comfortable. This is so unlike the impression i was force-fed about marriage. I mean, they tell u it's d woman who makes all the sacrifices!!!!!!!! I am so ecstatic that with us, it's so not the case. MM really goes out of his way for me. My fervent prayer is that it continues like this. I hear stories all the time about how a man changes, & it scares me shitless. God please please, keep my husband like this. I want to be this happy forever.
