Emekusboy, you are doing well. You have painted a vivid picture of what Life in Cote d'ivoire is like. However the way you described the clubs there is in contrast to what is obtainable here in Nigeria. Does it mean you can enter the club over there without much cash and still have a swell time? Secondly how does the men there see your relationships with their ladies?

it has been two years since i left there and i dnt want to be too sure of something i left for 2 years.

Aslo, It depend on the location of the plaza or shop. But my advice is just hold some reasonable amount of money....

And again, not all things are expensive ... What i believe is that u got qualities of the money u paid

Agric business is lucrative over there... But u should be thinking of staying another state and not Abidjan..

Re: My Sweet "Ivory Coast" Memories by EMEKUSBOY9(m): 11:51am On May 16, 2020
HELLO GUYS!

Happy to be here once again......

I was try to bring my friends for them to continue from where i stopped but they are not ready for now grin

So today i will be writing on my "MISTAKES / FUNNY THINGS" i did in ivory coast.

I will be starting with this flirty story between me and a girl called Mariam in ivory coast, when i was homeless and i newly came there...

So let's start....

Her name is Mariam a Muslim by religion. She is fair and average in height and with seductive eyes that tells u to come and kiss me( guys knows what am talking about) grin and also with a sexy behind... Oh my God am sorry forgive me grin

And to any woman i will be getting married too in future that is seeing this now or later in future... Am sorry! ( for describing a woman this way)

I remember when i first came into ivory coast and straight to the street of Abidjan.... This girl was the first eyes opener to me. Have never seen a seductive woman who talk with a man with his eyes..... And what made it so sweet was that am a good match for her and i was able too blend with her easily. the understanding was there like " supporting striker and striker" in a soccer match.

both of us had some secret affair and no body knows about our affair in that area.

Less i forget this girl mum own a big shop in a "shopping plaza" and are mum goes too Dubai to get jewelries and some clothes that she sales and also very popular in Abidjan, and all this made it hard for that girl to be free. she is the only girl at home and so useful and busy!

But all this things did not stop us from meeting " time to time" and i never knew she was planing something big for both of us cheesy

Mind u, i just came into the country and i knew nothing in French. i was just smart enough to communicate in any form i can and some times i use my phone on "google translation " it was rough and rugged for me but i was stubborn to cope and blend with this Ivorians ( i had no choice and not with what am seeing then) cheesy

On this faithful day, i was in my popular hangout spot close to this girl mother "shopping plaza" this is where we always fixed our date. We most times communicate through eyes and hand language ( i told u people both of us understand each so well) grin

So..., she brought food for her mother this faithful afternoon, and as she was about going, and she gave me a sign to follow her... Then i did.

We met at the usual spot approaching her parent house, and i was expecting same gist and flirt we normally do but not knowing that it was a day of craziness, if not that i spoiled my own show ( am crying as am writing this and i dnt want to remember it again) cry cry

Then she told me " emeka Alon" this is French language ways of saying LET'S GO ( i dnt think i got the spelling correctly though...) i was surprised and wondering where is this girl taking me too. and when we got too their house gate, she told me "emeka vien" French language way of saying COME. At this time i knew is a good day and my joy stick was already responding to stimulus and the smile she was giving me when she was telling me to come in....

everything was working perfect and is like she had this plan forever.. i was just working through the compound like a "land lord" and so free as she is taken me into her parent house..... Then we met a man, as we were about to enter the house ( that is her step dad).... then her step dad ask her who i was in (French language) then she told her step dad that i am her brother from another state, that i came too visit her. My brethren, everything was perfect and at that moment i know this girl was "executional " grin

The man even welcomed me with a nice smiles.... and as i was about to enter the house with this girl, i dnt know if someone was watching me with mirror in NIGERIA, and the next thing i said to the man was "WELDON GOOD AFTERNOON SIR" undecided shocked cry cry

The next thing this man said was to asked the girl to stop and ask her again where is this boy from, at that level it was clear to me i already lost....

Then this man later find out am from NIGERIA, which will even make him to suspect us because the girl already lied to him.

I have no choice than to leave immediately and i look at the eyes of this sweet Ivorian girl and it shows i really disapointed her grin

let me say her intentions for bringing me in to her parent house....

Her intention was to take me to her room and bleep the hell out of me and still keep me for weeks while we have sweet fun.

I would have stayed for some time, because the house is really big and u can be in her room for months nobody will find out.

The painful thing is that by then i had no place to rest my head and i was only sleeping at night clubs..

Chai ! It is well.......

stay tuned for the Continuation's of my MISTAKE/ FUNNYTHINGS in ivory coast by 8pm today or by 12pm tomorrow...

Thanks too u all
