You may likely buy this too like I used to as well until I saw something someday!

Back in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, I’ve got a taxi driver friend who sometimes lends me his cab whenever I wish to get around town in search of story ideas.

One Saturday evening, as I cruised down the boulevard hunting for passengers, a young light-skinned lady in her late twenties hailed me. Standing to her right was her husband, I could guess from their intimate glances and the identical rings on their ring fingers. My guess was confirmed when he said:

“Driver, safely take my wife to the bus station. She’s travelling to the village, okay?”

“No problems sir, it’s my job,” I said and alighted to throw her luggage in the boot while they clung to each other kissing goodbye.

Halfway towards the bus station, my passenger surprisingly warned from behind, “Driver, please change your route, I’ve got somebody to check at Miezan Motel.”

I complied; after all I was just a taxi driver.

When we pulled up in the parking area of Mieza Motel, a tall, dark-skinned and brawny man in his early thirties emerged from the lobby and strode across to us, his face wearing a chirpy smile.

He walked round to my side and asked, “How much is the fare driver?”

I swallowed hard before I could answer. He paid me, unloaded the boot and opened for my passenger to step down.

As I reversed, I sighted them locked in each other’s arms kissing ravenously. A first-time kiss or a long-time one? I couldn’t guess!

Driving away, two ideas warred in my soul. The first wanted me going back to where I’d picked her and reporting to her husband. The other warned me not to put asunder what I didn’t put together. The former dominated.

As I swung my cab to a halt at the kerb where the original couple was standing, another taxi pulled up so closely in front, from which an olive-skinned and freshly looking teenage girl stepped out. She was wearing a kneel-length silk blouse, tight around her sultry shape. As she stood by the cab holding a tiny silver-plated purse that matched with her high-heeled sandals, I could smell her erotic perfume from my end.

The husband to my earlier passenger burst out of the house and scurried to meet her. They hugged, kissed lightly before he proceeded to pay the taxi fare. He took the hand of his visitor, kissed her lips again and led her inside the house and closed the door.

All this while, I sat behind my steering wheel, watching and fidgeting. Coming to tell a man his wife was somewhere about to cheat him, he himself was about doing same. What a world!

I kicked and zoomed off shaking my head lamentably and trying to choose the right words with which to tell my friends how I witnessed firsthand a 1:1 draw in the game of infidelity.

And you, have you witnessed anything to add to mine? Kindly leave a comment.

the cheating game is fun

U think you are smart but the other person is even smarter

I'll rather say it is sinful, Man stick to ya wife, Woman stick to your husband. That's what God want!

Nornally guys are more infidel than girls. The number of married men who go out chasing young girls increases each day.

for where?

Married women are more faithful than married men in my opinion but when it comes to before then - i don't know.

before then,its the other way round

@Poster
nice one

hmmmm
super story

MrPrsdent:

Just my thought

In some cases men or women are more faithful while in some cases none are faithful.

i dont know

Every man and woman is as faithful as his/her option says Chris Rock. I have few married women friend that live in Nigeria and I get to talk to them once in a while. My conclusion is that if the society is a little bit open for them to cheat, they will cheat too like the men.

Greatest joke of the year. Maybe you should have seen my former Uni, with Married men running after young girls even with the ring on their fingers. Tragic.

@ topic,

God would be the judge of that!

I would say married women can be more faithful than married men.

hmmm. that Uni must be unique in that respect then,i suppose!

a cheating wife in nigeria has already signed her divorce papers

however a cheating husband will cheat,get caught,blame it on the alcohol,lack of wifey's attention to her looks and his needs,the tummy that neeeds tucking,wifey's incessant nagging etc.he will apologise after all hell has been let loose plus a myrriad family and friends' intervention.

but guess what, he will do it all over again

What has faithfulness got to do wiv being male/female?!

a lot of oyibo men are.

U damn right he will

@poster it all depends on the person not the gender,the difference is that some married men chase young girls like a male dog chase after a female dog openly and shameless while his wife secretly go after the young men.

Now aint that a biatch? Nigeria is very anti-women.

Its very common, they blame it on the weather

well, the statistics for faithful naija men might be a lot higher but for peer and family pressure.

But for these factors, which actively encourage "playing the field" regardless of relationship status, more men would be ok with their partners.

However, there's enormous pressure from all sides on Naija men in particular, for them to not stay faithful to their partners. Faithfulness is seen as a negative, not a positive.

so the culture doesnt really support such a notion. Women are the ones supposed to quietly endure the man's roving eye while maintaining their own chastity ( ie no sex outside marriage/engagement/relationship), while the man is free to sow his oats.

I have no doubt in mind, Men are definitely more faithful than Women. Women are just better @ hiding it. That's all.

that is what i have been saying, it is our birth right

The question is: Are men competing with women over faithfulness? Men are men! Women are women!! Let's leave it like that.

it's no contest, men (@ least 9ja 1's) r farrrrrrr more unfaithful.
