Love is beautiful but it can make you do something stupid. When you love someone deeply, you can do things without thinking about the implications of your actions.
10 Nigerian women revealed some of the stupid things they did for love:
Woman 1:
I went to pay him a surprise visit because he told me he was going to be at home, not knowing he went out for the night. I ended up sleeping outside the house after the security guy let me into the compound and suffered so many mosquito bites. I don’t think I can ever forget that day in my entire life and the idiot never felt any form of remorse when I told him I slept outside. The foolish me then, still let him continue fooling me and making fun of my emotions.
Woman 2:
I stood by him when he broke his leg in an accident and even missed classes and exams. I later ended up getting pregnant and he left me with the pregnancy.
Woman 3:
I sold my phone and gave him the cash he needed badly. I also gave him my pocket money not knowing he was giving it to another girl. I felt like an idiot when I discovered that I was his side piece. Infact, I have done lots if stupid things for love that I don’t know which ones to narrate and the ones to keep secret.
Woman 4:
I traveled from Ibadan to Lagos everyday to and fro for five days because my mum mustn’t know I travelled. I had to go as soon as she left for work and got back before she did. He broke up with me over one flimsy excuse. What did he say was my offence then sef? God punish Satan.
Woman 5:
I stole my mum’s money, went to the market and bought frozen chicken, went straight to the then LOML and prepared the chicken. I didn’t even have a taste of it. After that, I returned home hungry only to drink garri with groundnuts.
Woman 6:
I rented him an apartment and furnished it. I forfeited my job opportunity for the he goat…las las he will bring teenagers to fuck in the same house I rented for him. I don’t think any man will play me for a fool anymore.
Woman 7:
I collected my gratuity after 10 years of hard labour in the bank, gave it to my husband and he used it to rent a house for his side chick and moved in there with her. They are now enjoying their honeymoon but I left everything to God to judge.
Woman 8:
Before leaving Nigeria, my ex made me take an oath with bible that no man will ever see my nakedness not to talk of having sex with me. I did because I know cheating on him will never happen because I loved him so so much.
He married a white lady after two years. I waited hopefully that he was coming back to me but he ended the relationship by avoiding my calls. Thank God, he finally blessed me with a better man and till date, he cries to have me back but it’s not possible, I am happily married.
Woman 9:
I travelled to see him at Minna by night bus and armed robbers were on the road. Eeverybody was running helther skelter. I jumped into the bush where nobody can find me if something happened, but finally, I was able to come out safely. I shudder thinking what if I was killed that night, what will happen to my mom and siblings? What will I tell God?
Woman 10:
I gave my ex the laptop my mum suffered to buy for me to write project only for him to go and sell it and lied to me it was stolen.
If it were their female friends that begged them to help them with money now, they will be making excuses. Look at them being stupid because of preek. Hiss.
It is not because of preek….what you don’t understand is that a lot of us were not raised with love and have very low self esteem….Our fathers and mothers berate is verbally all in the name of discipline…..and what we do as we grow up is that we try to fill the needs out people should have filled with others by looking to others for acceptance. All we want is the feeling of being loved and that is why we go through this…..it is called childhood trauma….
