I remember back in Naija,on several ocassions,at least I remember 3 vividly[b] while I was with a date[/b],I would have drinks (Maltina) or some plates of orishirishi brought by the waiter and it would have been bought and paid for by another male in the restaurant with no strings attached.

Did anyone here have similar experiences ?

Is this just a cultural thing?

You prolly looked VERY hungry

That is the stranger way of telling you that HE WANTS YOU!!!

Gamine:

Osanobua!!
could that be the case?
I was very thin back in those days
chei!
maybe they wanted to feed me

Nailed it.

Same thing is happening to me in my office

Breakfast in bed chair

That happened to me when i went to watch Nigeria vs. Argentina at this Nigerian restaurant. This dude bought us suya and i openly accepted.

Seriously?
I remember one ocassion,I was with a potential suitor and we were eating at Imo hotels in Owerri and a plate of chicken arrived and the waiter pointed at a guy sitting at the bar and I mouthed thank you and never saw him again.My date chopped the chicken with me o

Ha ha!!! Queen!!! I bet you both enjoyed eating that meal. So who supplied the drink?

nana:

It was actually my isiewu joke on another thread that sparked this memory.
I was with my now husband then date at an isiewu joint and this man bought me a plate and a bottle of Maltina and my man thought nothing of it.

I'll like to know if any girls in Nigeria had similar things happen

It's different if you were just with a bunch of girls.Nigerian men do that a lot and I appreciate it .
Were you with a date?

That's enough of a test to tell you that your man is normal osisi and not capable of hacking you into suya pieces out of jealousy/possessiveness

Good thing you married him

Yes. Why else will a stranger buy you food. He is trying to send you a message that he finds you attractive and want to get to know you. did his number come with the chicken?

Yeah i was on a date. I openly accepted the suya. Because it is expensive so i just chopped it up and licked the stick. j/k j/k

Biko may God hear your plea.
suya pieces shall not be my portion in this land of soddom and Gomorrah

Your date didnt say anything?

KarmaMod:

Your date didnt say anything?

Of course he said something. He said "My brotha, i meela." and me and him ate that suya up.

i meela?

SeanT21:

No this was in the nineties, before cell phones and the man left without saying a word .

I need a man to respond since this act was not unique to me.
Was the suya just to say hello or did it mean something else

KarmaMod:

i meela?

thank you

Your boyfriend is different. My man will go straigh ghetto. when we were in high school, He was always mad when I talk with guys even if we were friends. He has not gotten used to it eventhough I have many Guy friends. When they call me, He wants me to talk with them in his presence. Much Ado about Nothing.

KarmaMod:

i meela?

Oh LMAO it means "thank you" in igbo.

Queenisha:

i guess it was a kind gesture. He was eyeing me throughout the game but i really didn't pay him no mind.

sean,if you say,the man had an ulterior motive,why would he send food to a girl who's obviously on a date with another man?

Queenisha:

No this was in the nineties, before cell phones and the man left without saying a word .

Poor Guy. He could have easily slipped the phone number under the chicken platter or leave it with the waitress.

Naw this guy knew that suya cost ALOT. and to turn it down is pure stupidity. But he was nice enough to buy me, the guy, and himself a drink. So i guess he was cool with it.

I was too engrossed in my isiewu to notice his eyes.
Besides the joint had very dim lights so all I saw was his head LOL
I couldn't even pick the dude out in a line up
