5 Things Every Nigerian Needs To Know About Love. by mizzbouqui(f): 1:55pm On Jul 24, 2016
The issue of love is a touchy one.
We all have different ideas of what love is. In a place as diverse as Naija, love means many different things to different people.

Just because we have opinions doesn’t make all of them right. Here are some universal truths about love that every Nigerian should know:

1.  Love ≠ Sex
In this part of the world, many people equate sex with love. No matter how great you are in bed, it doesn’t mean someone will stand by you or fall in love with you.

2.  Love needs “Realness”
You can’t pretend forever. Who you really are will one day shine through. True love understands that you’re not a perfect person. So, stop faking it. Stop acting like you are somebody else.

3.  Domestic Abuse isn’t a part of Love
Some people often mistake domestic abuse for love. It is not! A person who loves you won’t raise their hands to you or hit you. Love isn’t the same as emotional or physical abuse.

6. Love is a scam - If a well-to-do educated lady with a luscious career can't date/marry an uneducated barrow pusher or a bus conductor then love is a humbug. In same vein, if a wealthy educated dude can't date an uneducated ugly and primitive lady it remains a hoax.

4.  Love is Not a Hustle
We have turned love into a hustling business in Naija. You’d see some women pursuing men who are clearly taken. Or you’d see men who are in relationships going after other women. If someone doesn’t make you happy, please leave the relationship.

5.  Love has nothing to do with Money
This is for those guys who believe if they throw enough money at you, you will love them. Let’s not forget those ladies who only go for rich men. We all love the finer things in life. How much money a person has doesn’t influence the probability of you falling in love with them.

Sex is not love making, Making Love is all about sex but also emphasizes the deep emotional connection, affection and shared bond that develops between caring lovers. While making love is also to do with the state of mind, having sex is more about the physical relation.
Moroever I was not differentiating sex and love making, I was only emphasizing on how love is not determined by how good one is on bed

Who really loves these days? The word is overrated. Its the act that is important.

Which means it's a conscious act and not something that flows artlessly and instinctively? If we have a clear vision of the calibre of people we fall in love with as humans, an innately greedy and selfish creatures, then love is artificial and an insincere emotion. Coz people will always fall in love with who they find beneficial to them. And the issue isn't whether it's a beautiful thing or not.

This thing called love self.....

D'nt knw much about it.......

For me, love is being too attached to someone, that's why u will hear a lady/guy today say " I love James/Anothonia, today same guys/ladies will say I hate James/Anothonia.

What am I trying to say.... The word love is something created by our minds when we are to attached, close to someone and that's why we can love more than one person....

Today u will hear a lady say I can not do without Tony.
Tomorrow same will still say I so more love Peter
Next tomorrow same girl. " I love Paul"

















Love is an illusion.............. It does not exist...it's a name for something that does not exist.
