It’s the final days before we cross to the ember months and still no sign of huzband. At the beginning of the year, some of us raised our hands to the highest heaven chanting ‘this year is my year of finding huzband’ yet here we are still shivering from cold alone! The search for a good man is a very hard one as a matter of fact it is hard work. The aunties and mummies don’t help matters with their
‘when are we eating your rice?’ ‘We want to tie gele o’ ‘You are next in Jesus name’
You cannot even dance too much at your friend’s wedding, before you start hearing ‘the way we are doing your friend’s own is how we will soon ‘coman’ do your own o.’ Followed by that loaded ‘when will you choose one out of all the guys you leisurely post on social media with sweetheart and darling caption’ Bear in mind you can’t use those words loosely again especially if you’ve crossed the 26 years old threshold.
To make matters worse all your friends seemingly gang up against you, even the guys are not left out, they start getting married like there is a deadline. Not with the way there was a lot of wedding this past Saturday.
Tell us, was a secular released that all single people will be shot at by month end?
They did not even allow us lick our wound in peace, they’ve started peppering us with honeymoon pictures. Don’t you people use to be tayad ni? Anyway, I have already resigned to fate that another year is coming to an end and I still have my tent pitched with the congregation of the Booless of which I am now contesting for General Secretary. (Election posters out soon)
There is also the issue of situationships; the ones we knowingly walked into and the ones we found ourselves in. Who is to say they are not the reason we have not found huzband yet abi its huzband that has not found us. Whichever way it is, these remaining days, we walk out of every situationship that does not want to respect itself and turn itself into a God when situation.
Here is a simple tip on how to be found – go out! (Not like I take my own advice but you never know)
Are you not tired of waking up to chats from WhatsApp groups and your phone not ringing all day long? Go out with friends, go out alone, visit places you’ve always wanted to visit, answer your DMS and please release all those you blocked from viewing your WhatsApp status. This is still 2022 our year of finding and being found. Cheers!
