Jibby-Jabber

You are a 38-year-old single lady. You have never been married, and you desire to be married. You have spent donkey years in the single WhatsApp group; those who met you there have gotten married and moved on. You remained there, praying that Mr. Right would locate you. You have even gone to the cryogenic clinic to find out how much it costs to freeze your eggs because the clock is ticking. Finally, God brought you a man Not an ordinary man He brought you a very rich divorcee who loves you and is very willing to marry you. You then came up with terms and conditions: 1) You have a dream wedding you have always wanted to do, and this wedding has to be done in your village because you come from the lineage of chiefs. Your grandmother must collect six cows 2) He must buy a full traditional attire for all the women in your compound and all the men in your compound 3) He must buy a duplex for you (in your name) at Lekki phase 1, and a Benz Jeep befitting of your status 4) You must be given 100 Million Naira to furnish the house to your taste 5) Honeymoon must be in Europe 6) The wedding Event coordinator must be so and so (The person charges in foreign currency) 7) The entire wedding attire for both church and traditional, suit for the husband and gown for the bride, the groom's men and bridesmaids must be handled by designer so and so (The person charges in foreign currency) 8) Your dowry is in millions. 9) Band boys, Musician, feeding, drinks, the whole shebang were in your list.

You want to blow almost one billion naira of the man's hard-earned money on a wedding. Husband-to-be saw the list and reported the issue to me for my perusal. I saw the list, and my heart began to race, I called you and asked if you know what you are doing You said, "I have been waiting for this long; if I am to do this, I must do it properly. You know? I said, "This man is a divorcee, he wants to do something simple and quiet, why are you not considering him?' You said, "Do you think I am happy that it is a divorcee with children that I am getting married to? I have considered him by agreeing to marry him. It is his turn to consider me by giving me the wedding of my dreams. I said, "But the children are only going to come to your house for holidays, they live with their mother." You said, "They are still his children and at my age I may have only one or maybe with the help of IVF have multiple births and close shop. While all that is uncertain, I know since I was a young lady that this is the kind of wedding I wanted, and I am not making any compromises on that." I said okay.

Husband to be called to ask if I have spoken with her on the list I told husband-to-be that her condition remains the same. Husband to be changed. He stopped calling, chatting, texting, and so on. She went to his house several times and met his absence. She had a key, and she made sure she cleaned the house and left a note for him every single time. She called one of his relatives that he had introduced to her to complain. The relative said he traveled and will be back in a week. She gave him a week and went back to check on him at home. This time, she noticed he had changed his locks She called me "Brother Gbenga, I suspect this thing is happening again." I didn't bother listening to the rest of her jibber-jabber. The greatest enemy is self .The greatest saboteur is self When you know this, you will beware of self. Marriage is not for everybody

PS: The suitor got married to someone else three months later
