A letter to My Naija Lady!!!
My Dearest Naija Lady
I need to say this for one reason - I like
you as much as you cannot like me.
Eternity is a long time to start thinking
of too early so why not start creating
moments since they say it lasts forever.
I would like an Indian woman, they
sing very well, or maybe a Caribbean
girl or Brazilian ladies off course you
know why so don’t ask why. I have a
little grudge too but I will still choose
you and I will try not to make it
conditional because you are the one.
But I crave that you listen…
Firstly, I will not take you to the garden
or a bar neither will I choose a rowdy
place on our first date because I’ve got
class and I know your worth and also
because I want to hear your heart beat,
know your desires and priorities
especially when I look with so much
confidence into your beautiful eyes but
no long artificial eye lashes. Please……
We may decide to share a bottle of wine
that has a little volume of alcohol but if
you insist on something else, I will
appreciate your decision, and then I
know what you like and do not like. I
am pleased that you are a moderate
lady and not like some “ Lekki Lady
Wannabe ” that will insist on a very
expensive place and even have to do
take-away for 2 of her friends- “ you for
just bring the friends to the date na...”
if you will not go Dutch my advice is
that you go moderate- a real man works
with a budget (forget what DJ khaleed
said in his song “ Hold you down” ) and
moreover I wouldn’t want to spend so
high on a first date, when I’m not sure
if I would want more time with you.
My choice of location was basically to
get your attention and drive home my
message- if I am boring, forgive me its
only my nature- do not start playing
candy crush on that Android phone of
yours and I have to repeat myself again
and again.
I like the fact that you appreciate my
calling you twice or ones in a day. No
excuse on that even though I have a
tight schedule after all I like how the
first outing turned out even though I
expected a good night peck or a hug at
least but your hands were too full with
the nylon bag of the take away- what
can I do?. I called you when I got home
and expected you to be on your bed and
a nice tone creating an emotional
atmosphere for us, but the music on
your end was loud – glad you and your
friends are enjoying the take away you
didn’t pay for. …“Anyways good night”
and call ends… “Now am lying down
and feeling like have I wasted my
resources”? What about my BBM pings
that takes you like forever to reply?
Well, I like you so I will still take you
serious…
Surely I am moved by what I see, your
shape is heavenly and my mind has
gone places, appreciate my nature
because I am human and it shows I
know what I want and it’s you not any
other lady. Please, you will turn me off
when the table turns around and you
are the one that talks dirty on a first
date… it shows your choice of words
and how I rate you and I may switch
into the “thug in me” and you may just
be another girl I hit and run… keep it
calm with your dirty words, it will not
make me yearn for you so fast or think
you are a “dope chick”.
If you cloud my emotions so much and I
start acting all caring and asking
questions like … have you eaten? Are
you home? … etc. that’s because I am
only starting a conversation and
looking for a way to get to the real
questions and make a point, time will
come when I will not have to ask all
those questions and move to much more
real questions like …what do you
propose I do on this issue? How do I
make this point on a presentation?
When I call you those sweet names too
early in the relationship or as we get to
know each other, I mean those names
because you have shown me in such a
short while how a sweet heart, darling,
boo boo you can be. The facial reaction
of “eww” will only make me think about
how I should slow it down and it may
affect my relating with you. Let me love
you the way I want to and express it
that way. Imagine if you start saying
those words and I have similar
expressions… sure you will say I don’t
love you anymore!
The worse of all things I will want to tell
you not to ever do is that… I had a life
before you, the fact that we got into a
relationship doesn’t make us compatible
to walk down the aisle. Do not ask me
to start talking to your mom or sisters
and calling their names in our
conversations and I be like … who is
that…? Don’t just think of eternity in a
short while, think of moments and
making our dreams achievable and we
can find a reason to stay together
longer than the fourth time we did
“it”…well… we both enjoyed it.
I have a perfect picture and how I
intend to propose to you… I bet you,
you will love it and several media
platforms will blog about it as epic. You
don’t have to expect an engagement
ring on every Valentine day or your
Birthday, Christmas etc…
PS… I am not a fan of “and co” so
please I will not sew similar cloths with
you while we still date neither will I
attend weddings with you every
Saturday.
I hope you understand and work on this
because I want us to work out well.
Best Regards
Kennedy Nkem Nwazuosa.
