You got chatting with a lady. All goes well. So much fun and laughter. You are happy because she smiles at your joke. You start believing you are funny. She seems very interested in you. First is your real name, then where you live and then the big question "what you do for a living?". You are honest. She seems interested and sincerely so.The tory continue like that for days and one day you check in and be like "whats up" and she is like " i am not having a good day, or i am sad...or dont worry lets just chat maybe i will get better". Ok.
Being a nice guy, you keep persisting. I want to know. Please let me know what is bothering you (you don enter kasala be that). You really want to know, like seriously? You don eat the hook plus sinker be dat. O boy! Of course you keep chatting all the same and then they hit you with it. "I got this textbook, handout, academic tour....blah blah blah... i need to buy. Sincerely, you don't have money and you are concerned...na there the scam start. O boy. As a sharp guy, you are like why not tell your parents about it...i mean i wish i cud help. She is like "they already gave me the money but i spent it on something". Ok then you sympathized with her as par good guy.
"So what do we do about it?" You asked, wishing you knew what to do and she is like "just forget about it, let me just spend some time alone" Na there the chat end. Next time if you view your messages log, you go see account has been deleted. One even asked me after 5 days of meeting, "what did you say you do for a living?" I had told her i was into business consulting but after the textbook issue, i had to tell her i help small and medium businesses look for grant and set up their businesses. The two they different but u no go understand.

Loving is Crazy: A True Tale
Being crazily in love with someone is crazy but it
is rewarding. Ok you saw this person and you thought, “I wish you were mine and
mine only”. Then you realised that no matter how much you long for them, they
are just not into you. O boy! You don enter wahala be dat. The next few days
after that, nothing seems to matter... you are crazy about getting on a date
with them. You dream of an opportunity to be with them and pray for the right
words to describe how much they mean to you.
I have been there. I once came close to running mad
for a woman. She drove everything in me insane. If it was necessary, am sure I would
have been able to dance naked on the street for her. Was she beautiful? Not as
you would think. She was plain but she was perfect for me. After weeks of
horning my conversation skills, I went after her. The first task was to know
where to meet her. I had bumped into her on a show. I think I paid about $75
for that show. It was somewhere in Abuja and I had spent that much because my
favourite entertainer was to show up.
The moment I laid my eyes on her by the ticketing
stand, I knew I had got another show running. I traced her to her seat and had
to exchange ticket with another sharp dude who knew a brother in need. I spent
the 3 hours of the show, taking in every part of her and apparently ignoring my
entertainer when he came on stage. I never knew I had detective skills but by
the time the show was over, I could tell the way she packed her hair, her
facial expression when she laughed, felt uneasy, took interest in a story, or
got distracted. It was a rewarding experience as I am sure I made quite a good
use of my brain trying to figure out hundreds of ways to get her to notice me.
Anyways,
I had to stalk her to her home, took note of the address, and decided to try a
safer stalking the next day. Man! How much of our faculties we use when we are
crazily in love?
Well as I was saying, getting to meet her was a
hurdle I invested so much of wits to manoeuvre. I bribed a friend to her guard,
appeased a friend of hers, and bought her brother some unnecessarily expensive
whisky at Cubana. Eventually, the day came and I was tongue-tied. The object of
my love (infatuation) was just before me and I couldn’t find the right set of
words. I stuttered, and couldn’t get my eyes to look at her. I was so powerless
before her. It was getting stupid.
Thinking about it now, I know I wasn’t shy. I just
had so much reverence for her that I couldn’t risk saying the wrong thing. She
was looking over me. I could tell she found me interesting but it was in a way
that says, “What could this guy possible have to say to me for going so far to
meet me?” One of those freaks of nature played out and I remained grateful for
it. Her handkerchief fell from her laps and as she bent down to pick it, she
nodded the edge of the table. The result was an embarrassing scene of crashing
cutleries and cups.
The event took her a little unaware and I could tell
that it was her time to be uneasy. I rushed over to help her pick up the hand
towel. Thereafter, I held her by her shoulders and inquired if she was all
right. I took control of the situation and asked the waiters to come clean up. Once
I felt a surge of confidence and I went straight to the point. Before long we
were laughing. I told her how I met her and the crazy things I did to meet her.
I told her about the guard. I told her of my offering to buy a drink for her
brother at Cubana without knowing the cost, and almost getting kicked out of
the lounge. She was laughing.
We ended up agreeing that we would be friends but
the problem was that I never opened that bracket. We were friends, in fact two
months later she introduced me to her teenage crush-turned-lover. This person
treated her very sadly. He was always bullying her but she was in love with him.
I was dying to squeeze his neck. I dreamed of a day when she would call and
tell me her lover’s ship had been pulled into the Bermuda Triangle.
Well last night, I got a call from her. She was
crying. She said she had been foolish and blind. That she never grew over her
crush and she was crazy to think he actually loved her. She was crazy, oh yeah!
That is what love does to you. It makes you crazy.
