Almost every married woman is in love, but not with their husbands

By
For some women, marriage is their greatest support system

In some cases, only support system

If every other thing fails, marriage is the last resort

I have a friend, she is engaged, and the date for her marriage has already been fixed

Her fiance lives abroad

They just got engaged because according to her, his mum wants him to marry an Imo state girl, and she is from Imo state.

That's his reason

Hers is... You will find out soon, keep reading...

Oga lives in Germany and my friend lives in Nigeria

She is so happy, in fact, the day he proposed, she almost fainted

Not out of love, even though she claimed it is

But out of relief

Finally, she gets to leave poverty and Nigeria

Get this... She was in a relationship with a Nigerian guy

She was in love with him before German brother came into the picture and she realized it was a situationship

It took weeks to jump ship

Switched to new guy even without meaning to

Circumstances just happened

Her parents are poor and can't support her

Her ex couldn't do enough because he is a minimum wage earner

She is unemployed despite being a graduate

She is unemployed because all the places she worked, the men wanted to sleep with her

She started a business, but every entrepreneur and start-up living in Nigeria knows business is hard for a Nigerian in Nigeria under this evil administration

She was at her wits end when this new guy showed up

Now she is in love, or so she thinks

The point is

Love is self-interest not unconditional

Once a total stranger or even your enemy starts giving you all you need every time you are in need, feelings will definitely grow

Need is the seed that grows into feelings

Most people aren't getting married out of love but need necessity and survival

I don't blame them

It's survival

They don't make the decision out of free will but a need to survive and stop suffering

When they see a ring, they don't see love, they see support

Almost every married woman is in love, but not with their husbands

That's why married women are the most unhappy, forget the social media clout

A large percentage of awon married women didn't marry the man they love, they married the man who married them.

In my friend's words...

Hunger can make you think you have feelings for the person who bought you food

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

I hate my Job

By
Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...

Riotous Love

By
I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
