I don’t even know how to start. I’m a young guy, 27 years old, and also a graduate residing in Ado-Ekiti. Fast forward, I have friends who are guys that I’ve been hanging out with since school days. Some of them weren’t even students, but based on the street and hustle, all of us just dey waka together and share updates. Recently, one of us was celebrating his birthday. As we were chilling and arguing about all sorts of conversations—football, music, politics, etc.—we suddenly switched to relationships and girls’ matters. I was surprised when my so-called friends were boasting and saying, “How many girls you don book flight for?” “How many girls you don buy hair for?” “How many girls you don buy phone for?” and all sorts of things. One of them was even boasting that he has been paying his girlfriend’s rent since 2020.
Omo, I was shocked and disappointed. The truth is that I haven’t done any of this, so they were trying to make me feel less of myself. So suddenly, I don’t know how, but I asked, “How many of you don buy car or build house for your parents?” “How many of you graduated with a 2:1 in uni?” The room went quiet 🤐. I also asked, “How many of those girls still call you to check on you?” I bought a car for my dad in 2016, even when I didn’t have one, and currently, my mom has her own. Why should guys be more concerned about stuff like that and not their personal lives? Well, since last Saturday, we haven’t been cool, and now they say I’m too proud, trying to make me feel bad. Should I reconcile with them or move on with my plan of cutting them off?
