Romance / The Bitter Reality Of The 20s (must read) By Laa Pulga Prince by GROOOVE(m): 8:39am On Oct 15, 2016
The most difficult time to be in a relationship as a guy is in your early twenties.

The period when you are stuck in a limbo, trying to figure out yourself and who you want to be.
At this age, you find it a herculean task asking money from your parents, considering your dad will always remind you of how he was self sufficient at your age.
So you are always left with "Nkechiyere" anyone that comes from them willingly.

To compound your "woes". You have a girlfriend whom you love so muchh, you are 24 and she is 23.
And guys being wired to want to take control, you are frustrated at your inability to take care of her like you want to.
I mean where is the money??
You are still jobless, still hustling, still finding your feet.
Still putting hands intomany things hoping oluwa smiles on you.

All of a sudden, she starts acting out and showing attitude.
You call, and she takes forever to pick or return your calls.
When she finally does pick, the call is like an interview session with those annoying and frustrating one word replies.
Yes, no, fine, okay, nothing.

Then finally she ends the call with a flimsy excuse like " wait let me close the fridge", i will call you back. And the call never comes back.

Then one day she calls you and askes you "where is this relationship heading to?.
You dont even know where your own life is heading to, not to talk of a relationship.

Then she drops the bombshell. Tells you that she met a guy who wants to marry her.
And how age isnt on her side, and you are almost compelled to scream "But you are just 23". Can't you wait 3 more years let me make it.

You just hold yourself and play the good guy
You ask her if she loves him, she dodges the question and replies you with " He treats me well".

Well since she wasn't informing you to take permission, she was simply telling you.
You have to be the cool guy and wish her well.
One week later, she gives you the traditional wedding card. And then you do the math yourself.
She was talking to the guy a long time before now.

Then you realise that for every "K" you got on WhatsApp, the guy was getting a long epistle.
You have been played.

Worse is you cant even blame her, you are just a prospect who no one knows what will become of your life in 4years time.
Would you have made it or not?
She has gone for the real deal, someone who has already made it.
In footballing terms, you are a "Anthony Martial" ( prospect) while the guy is a Messi ( has made it already).
I mean you were sending her cards of N200, and the guy was telling her to manage 10k for the weekend.
No comparison there.

And then you go through that silent heartbreak guys go through, the ones they don't talk about.
And unceremoniously you get inducted into the special hall of fame where members are young guys whose childhood loves and friends or girlfriends they thought they would end up with left them to marry someone else.
Your heart is broken into smithereens.

In this hall of fame, you are all victims. Victims of not having found your path in your early twenties.

At the wedding, no sight is more heartbreaking than seeing "the love of your life" say "I do" to this guy she just met 6 months ago.
To make matters worse, you get an alert from Diamond bank telling you how N13 have been deducted for bank charges. You are mad.
Your N4000, is down to N3987 rendering that N1k useless, you can only withdraw N3k now.
And that's your home and abroad.

Can life be more unfair at this moment?

To make matters worse, she tells you that she wants you to be the god-father to her first son.
You are livid, the plan you both made was to be the father, god wasn't there. Why are you involving god now.
god-father huh.. is that a sort of compensation package?

You chin it up, suck it, move on and double your hustle.

6 years later. You are 30 now. Congratulations, you finally made it. You are as rich as you hoped you will become.
You are one of the happening guys in town.
You go to a wedding. With your friends, the men on suit. Those guys that just intimidate everyone in the hall.
You are seated scouting the hall, and the bridal train passes by.

Ofcourse, bridal train and ashoebi ladies always show themselves. That's part of the job description. Sampling.
And you spot one, she is beautiful, elegant and tall.
You walk up to her, chat her up. Exchange numbers and you leave.

She is 24, ripe for marriage.
Three months later, you are sounding marriage to her ears. She loves how it sounds.
You are on chat with her always.

And somewhere else, a 25year old boy still finding his way is wondering why the girlfriend is becoming distant these days.
Why is he getting those one worded replies which is unlike her.
Why do there chats seem more like interview.

And fast fast, you have proposed and simultaneously she is asking the 25year old boy that question of
"Where is this relationship going to".

And then you marry her, and somewhere a boy gets heart broken.

You see we are always going to do this to ourselves.

Laa Pulga Prince 2016©.

Fulani people are not banned from lawful movement. It is the movement of cattle that us being regulated. If they move their cattle contrary to the law, that's their business when they get arrested and imprisoned.
Thanks for clearing that out.
I was trying to point out that not every fulani herdsman is hostile. Anti grazing law is not the best solution but it was passed for some state either way

crosbreaka:


Is their assessment objective or based on selfish sectarian prejudices and bias by northern Sunnis who are majority and in power?

What difference would it make to a Christian if a Muslim is Shia or Sunni? In fact most Christians would prefer the Shia because the world over I've never heard of a Shia suicide bomber attacking a church or people of other faiths. The Shia respect people of other faith. I've read and heard the Shia repeating severally that "man is either your brother in faith or your equal in humanity". That is a saying by their first Imam, Ali. Why would I not hold favorable view towards a people who value shared humanity? How many times have they been killed right here in Nigeria. Did they get crazy and starting senseless killings? Imagine if it was the other way and those killed were sunni Hausas. Just imagine.

Wow such as a matured reply. Tnk you

As to your assertions, you do realize the shiites make up bearly 15% of the muslim population worldwide? Thatt makes them even less than 5% of the nigerian muslim populace. My point is, i dont think the federal government have a religious agenda, they tried creating their own colony in zaria exempting other persons who isnt shia frm them(muslims included) had the FG turn a blind eye they will grow in numbers and someday colonize a state and put down their own rule.
Maybe am wrong but i think the FG's response is to pretend such happening in the future

You are not ignorant. From the above, it's apparent you're stupid.

Show me a pic of one Nigerian Shia Muslim who performs self flagellation.

I should forget what I google online, but you want others to accept pictures you google online from far away countries. Hope you see even the word "stupid" is a compliment to someone like you.

This is why pple fail in life, simple question and you're reverting to insults.. ..smh

I won't stoop so low as to exchange words with you, whoever you are. Now define stupid again?

I stayed in zaria kaduna 10 years in the midst of shiites and sunni muslims there's nothing you can tell me about either that i haven't experienced first hand.

Have you ever even met a shiite?

Onyocha:


stop spreading your ignorance. Shia condemn self-flagellation by a minority of their brothers when they commemorate the martyrdom of Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad on Ashura.

it is like condemning all Sunnis and tagging them "non-muslims" for the beheadings carried out by boko haram. is that Islam? at least those Shia are cutting their own bodies and not blowing up people of other faiths.

Nigerian Shia Muslims do not do self-flagellation. most of the Shia ayatollahs condemn and FORBID self-flagellation. you should google: "Shia scholars view on self-flagellation".

if self-flagellation by less than 1% of Shiites makes ALL SHIA people "not Muslims", then by the same token, all the terrorism committed by Sunni groups should be used to declare ALL SUNNIS as "not Muslims" what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

even Christians (Catholics) in Philippines and Mexico carry out actual crucifixions on Easter to reenact the crucifixion and sufferings of Jesus.

Ignorance ke!

Forget what you google online, have you ever met a shiite?

blantyre:

U are on point sunni Muslims are responsible for 99% percent of all the atrocities and terrorism committed in the name of Islam world over not just in Nigeria even though within sunnis themselves there are subdivisions with some being kind of condoning esp violence against shiites. In Nigeria for instance and without calling any name, we have those local representatives of Saudi wahabi ideology responsible for terrorism. Is kind of a contract with their wahabi masters and what they are good at, is fuelling the embers of hatred against shiites. And luckily for them, they ride on the ills of illiteracy in religious matters affecting most sunnis to brainwash them. Let's even assume the shiites are abusing the companions, there is nothing in Islam that renders that person an unbeliever, but trust them, they have a way of manipulating the Quran and hadith to justify their violence against shiites. To me as Muslim shiites are 100% Muslim and Inshaallah no amount of propaganda will make me regard them otherwise. They may have their problems with constituted authority, that sth different but to call them kafirs never.

So you agree this is 100% islam?

ogene007:

The 1999 constitution guarantees freedom of worship, freedom of association as well as freedom of movement. Any law or announcement by any person that goes contrary to the provisions of the constitution is null and void. Let the government take them to court for associating under the IMN banner and let us see which court and under which basis the organisation would be declared as illegal. The government of the day is simply involved in extrajudicial killings which they will ultimately answer for. Everything El-rufai has done so far is purely illegal. It has been a further futile attempt at covering the massacre of innocent nigerians and the dumping of their bodies in mass graves. They know that the day of reckoning will surely come. The government hope that by continuing to persecute these people, they will cow them into dropping their demand for justice against the massacre.

There is also freedom of movement but it didnt stop the fulanis been banned in some states. Threat to state goes above all.

If only you knew the Shiites well enuv, boko boys started this way and unfortunately the govt then was too numb about that activities and too weak to respond when it came to it.

Jaqen seems to be really invested in Arya. What if Jaqen H’ghar is actually her former teacher, Syrio Forel? shocked

Syrio Forel last seen: weaponless surrounded by lannister soldiers hungry for his head. Jaqen H'ghar as Arya? Maybe. But Syrio not by any chance

If it was an inter party conflict it would be understandable, but kaduna state would stand to suffer if this continues. They better settle their dispute and set a sail together on the same goal

The only thing we here from you is buhari this, buhari that..
Workers are still unpaid, they have families too you know, untill you loose that pot belle as a result of hunger then your strike is just an act of laziness.
