REASON MEN QUIT RELATIONSHIPS

advice to women.
READ the advice below..
Sometime back, in March,
I was advising a babe on how to make a man stay.
Some comments posted in reply to my status were
that men are only controlled by their third legs,
money, yansh, boobs, beauty and ego. I tried to
highlight a very serious point that babes were
missing.
And that is, everyman wants better. We do not want
to feel the one we let go was better.
Not too long ago, I read some wild and wide
criticism that greeted what Stella Damasus wrote
about keeping a man. To some, wrong as they were,
Stella had no business telling anyone how to keep a
man. I believe she does. I actually think she knows
more than she revealed.
Growing up in Ojo Cantonment, my Dad and I were
walking back from his friend from a Soldier in the
Education Corp of the Nigerian Army, from
Gongola state who had been made a Major. Just as
we took a turn, from the officers' mess, a naked
mad man was running towards us from the opposite
direction, shouting Mad Man… Mad man… To my
surprise, My Dad, who was a military man, told us
to run for cover. So he dragged me behind a
kerosine tank, pushed me to the ground and kept
looking to see what the mad man was running from.
Meanwhile, Some two Fulani men who used to
come into the barracks regularly to read palms of
anyone who yielded their hands to them, had been
walking behind us, before we took cover. They kept
walking.
I nearly laughed when I saw them make a Uturn,
and took off after the mad man that had run pass us,
it now looked like they were chasing the mad man
that was shouting "Maaaaaad man!"
On the heels of the Fulani palm readers was another
mad man, brandishing a UTC cutlass . Not Machete.
Cutlass. The type used in felling trees. That type that
reminded one of Prince Nico Nbaga's bell bottom
trousers back then. He was swinging the weapon of
death as he pursued… It became obvious to us from
where we were crouched that the madman had no
one in mind as a target. He was after anyone he
could lay his eyes on. Because, soon as the Fulani
men, vanished at the end of the Block, he gave up
on that chase and followed one Man selling Festac
77 sleeveless Adire. Mr Adire seller was actually
laughing at the way the Fulani men took to their
heels. So, this time I had to laugh when I saw how
the amusement on his face changed into fright. He
took off and jumped across the gutter by Palmy Bus
stop. He continued running even after the machete
carrying mad man hand found new targets.
Sorry I digressed. Hope you are still with me.
My Dad later told me a proverb in URHOBO,
"AVUE ODIERO, NE EKI VHENRHEE!" Which
means you do not need to tell a deaf man that there
is chaos and uncontrollable commotion in the
market. He can see. That's all he needs.
Back to Stella DAMASUs' write up. We are not all
perfect. That said, when a Musician writes a love
song, do you stop listening to the love song or
letting the lyrics connect to your relationship
because the singer has divorced 8 times or has not
been able to hold a relationship longer than 3
months? I don't think so. I think STELLA did well.
If you like go call police.
Back to the HASHTAG I talked about earlier,
#WhatMadeYourGuyLeaveYou.Many ladies missed
the point as they always often do. They were talking
about how men are polygamous in nature, Cheats,
irresponsible, not ready for commitment, gigolos,
lack ambition, lack self control, think with their
third legs… BLA BLA BLA.
