Ah brothers, gather round, let me tell you about the night I learned one of the most expensive lessons of my life and it didn’t even cost me a dime. 😏
It was a cool Lagos evening around 8 PM. After a long, exhausting day at work, all I wanted was to get home, hold my wife, relax, and maybe let the night unfold naturally. You know how it goes,cuddling, small flirting, hands wandering, vibes building nicely.
Then she dropped the bomb.
“Babe, I’m tired o. Nothing for you tonight.”
Omo! My ego took a direct hit. My anger rose faster than NEPA restoring light during football finals. I jumped up, grabbed my car keys, and stormed out of the house like a man on a mission.
By 9 PM, I was already at a lounge.
Still boiling, I scanned the place and approached the first fine babe I saw.
“Babe, how far for the night?”
She smiled sweetly and replied:
“120k, oga. I go do you well-well.”
My brain paused.
Okay… maybe that one was premium.
Next lady? 100k.
The “cheapest” option that night? A confident 90k.
I just stood there blinking like,Wai, 120k for WHAT exactly? 😳
Inflation has entered the bedroom market too? Outside is not smiling at all.
My anger slowly turned into financial wisdom. Pride aside, I quietly said, “Abeg, no wahala,” turned around, entered my car, and drove to a roadside soya spot.
I ordered 50k worth of hot, sizzling soya,extra pepper, plenty onions, full Lagos package. Then I added a nice bottle of red wine 🍷 for balance.
As I was driving home, I called my wife.
Babe, I’m coming back home. It’s too expensive outside. These people are charging arm and leg! 😭
She just burst into laughter,that kind of laughter that says “I already knew.”
When I got home, I walked in carrying the soya and wine like a man returning from war with peace offerings. I sat down and narrated the entire adventure,every price, every line of “oga I go do you well.”
My wife laughed until tears entered her eyes.
“Poor you,” she said between laughs. “I really pity you.”
We ate the soya, drank the wine, kept joking and teasing each other. The anger disappeared completely. The mood changed.
And well… let’s just say the night eventually became very memorable. 🔥
The next morning, while I was still forming small attitude, she leaned close, kissed my cheek, and whispered with a mischievous smile:
“Babe… now you know. It’s expensive outside. Stay where the service is free, unlimited, and five-star rated.” 😉
Lesson learned the sweet way.
Home is always the best deal.
Who else has ever tried to prove a point… and ended up proving themselves right back at home? 😂🔥
