Dairy of a Single Nigerian Lady - Joro Olumofin
(Juxtaposition of Cognition I.e I put myself in the shoes of a single Nigerian lady) "As much as I love Nigeria, our culture can be subjective and bias. Being single is like an illness or a curse.
.
The "when are you getting married" question? irritates me. I can't propose to myself. I hate being in Nigeria now. I wish I could move to Europe where I won't be judged. It's bad enough that society and family make you feel inferior because you're single.
.
.
Then friends that were single with you will now also cut you off after they get married. I'm actually done". Dear Married friend (s) , those of you who have decided to cut me off because you think you're now better than me. God Bless you! .
.
1⃣ I bought your pricy Asoebi & wedding gown (50 -70k)
2⃣ I paid makeup fee for your wedding (15k)
3⃣ I traveled out of Abuja / Lagos 3 times with you for introduction, thanksgiving and engagement
4⃣I participated and planned your hen night like it was my own
5⃣ I carried your wedding gown and followed you all day on your special day
6⃣ I wiped your tears & made sure sweat didn't ruin your makeup on your big day
7⃣ I served your guests like I would serve my own
8⃣ I protected all your secrets and gave you moral support until you entered your home happily
9️⃣ I answered all your calls and text at any hour of the day. *If I didn't I'm Enemy of Progress or a Hater*
.
.
Then you got pregnant, you hid it from me like I'm the witch or "Aje" in your village eating all the children. I found out you were pregnant on Instagram like everyone else. Really? .
.
You hardly pick my calls anymore, you don't reply messages but you like pictures all day on IG wedding blogs and change your whatsapp DP. Am I now inferior to you because you're a bride? .
.
When you needed me why didn't you ignore? When I get married will you want to be My friend again? Your husband keeps asking why we aren't close, what did I do wrong ?
A lot of single ladies go through this and worse. DO YOU AGREE ?? #DoktorMofin
