My man now started his own… saying he wanted “mummy & Daddy play” this hot afternoon, I just looked at him like, is today the day for that? I told him, “Abeg, today is Sunday… let’s keep it holy.” Omo, he no find am funny at all. I went ahead and served food, thinking he would calm down. This man said he’s not eating, that he’ll only take juice 😂 I just laughed and left him. Not long after, hunger started doing its thing. He was just moving around, checking the kitchen, forming strong man 😂 In my mind I said, “E bi ni o pa ara Oyo to ni ohun o ni je eko.” Today just confirmed it for me, no be everything you go beg for.

@Dutchess699031 Agric fowl 🤣🤣🤣

How does it sound Mrs "independent and classy woman" saying a man is buying you food like you're an agric fowl... Apparently you're basically telling us that you're not useful to yourself and all you do in a relationship is expect to be taken care of ...something you cannot afford to do for yourself..how pathetic

@vahphor Ur best friend dey date rubbish...

Yesterday, we were at a house party with some friends and other well known people. My best friend and her boyfriend had an issue there. He had warned her not to exp0se her body or swim because he didn’t like it, but she didn’t listen and went ahead anyway. Later, when we got to their place, the guy chased her out of his house, took back everything he had bought for her including her iPhone 16, and ended the relationship over it. Do you think that’s worth it? Why do some men overreact over small issues like this?
