Abeg TV01, come and finish what u started
I'm interested

Moca, notin' to report o jare!

After being introduced to almost all the eligible women in the Pentecostal - and Nigerian community circles - London and SE UK (reesh Ireland sef) with nothing forthcoming - I was beginning to wonder? Different, different types of excuse; too short, too dark, scrawny, not in IT, drives small car, no property doesn't dress well, eats salad etc. etc.

As if finishing me wasn't enough, there were also questions about my family and lineage. "Is he not so and so's grandson", "wait 0, isn't he related to so and so"? Then one didn't actually make any complaint, just burst out laughing - I was in absolute despair - was marriage really meant for me or I for marriage?

All my mates were long since married and I was in that situation were even most of my younger ones were married. I know what it's like when they call you "uncle" with the silent "useless" before it. I was always the first call when someone was doing intro or naming. Afterall, "what is he doing"?

We thank God for technological advances

Even that one's still quite long.

If the man and woman know what they want, then why wait beyond a year? Or two maximum?

Hazardd:

your story is not interesting jor

This had me in stitches!!!

That's some brutally honest tone man.

I actually didn't understand her story at all and I was going to say something close to what you said but I didn't want to rain on anybody's parade, besides, this thread has a very warm, gentle feel and I didn't want to spoil that

@OP

Verg nice thread.

elantraceey:

You are right.

Besides, no need to rush. Each couple has their own time.

Well i will say to understand each other better , you know humans are very good at pretending but not for long , it depends on the age of the lady sha and if they are both ready to tie the knot on time.

Chaii don't cut the story na

Otta, 2003: Sunday afternoon, went to drop off dad's car at the mechanic, had no change(bike fare was #30 and I had a #1000 note on me) and decided to enjoy a walk home. I decide to explore a new route and, viola, I come upon a business centre and decide to put a call through to a friend make we for hang out; see we had phones but no airtime in those days.

Someone was on the phone when I got there so, I had to wait my turn. In the meantime, there was a lovely looking gyal sitting by the side eating ofada rice and as I was hungry I asked to join, and with the most dazzling smile made to give me the dish, I said thanks and said I was kidding and asked her name which she told me. So, I put my phone on silent mode, took their phone and dialled my number twice and told them the guy didn't pick, I totally forgot to call my homey.

I get home and dial the number and asked to speak to her, it turns out she was the daughter of the phone centre woman and I only had the chance to chat her up because mom was attending to another customer. Anyway, her mom tells me to call her own phone and I say it's not going through. She hands over the phone to daugjter and I proceed to introduce myself "erm, I'm the guy that asked for rice now now. Please, don't hang up". Somehow, she found it funny and the rest is history. We're currently trying for baby number 2. Hehehehe.

Maybe by this time next year I'd have a story. *fingersandLegsandHandsandMouthCrossed*

I'm giving that brother major side eye right now.

Thanks for sharing. Unless u don't want to, I believe everybody has a spouse waiting somewhere.
Sometimes, it looks like a fairy tale but that's d plain truth

May ur union continue to blossom!

Amen.
My actually finding someone was a miracle - I was convinced it was a single life - maybe as a missionary for me. I sold every asset I had and just had one big pile of cash. Just waiting to be directed to my duty station .

TV, you cracked me up.

Just to be sure, did you complain that the girls eat salad or did they complain?

Me complain? Who dash monkey banana? I just used to turn up for dates - or call, I did lots of cold calling - with a hopeful look on my face (or tone of voice). I only provided a snapshot of reasons.

Even the good ones were turned into excuses. "Why always gymming? at least you are not fat na"? "You mean you have no children or have never been married? What's wrong with you. I'd be more comfortable if you had some tangible history - what are you hiding?"

Most of them didn't pass first date. And I suspect that many of the ones that persevered through the first date were mostly out of pity. Second dates sef, I used to fear. That's when they would bring up their immigration issues and explain how they needed to marry within the next 3 months or return home !. Or their impending homelessness, or dire financial situation.

,il choose him in d next life and after........!

Best part of the story.

But everything was different when you met your wife, right?
Please tell us more, only if you don't mind, of course. Sorry for being so curious. I was born this way.

I like your story a lot.

Sometimes it is good when things develop their own way, like not having change when you actually need it or having to wait in a queue.
