Dear Men; please read this!

From a male LIB reader
Dear Linda, in response to the blog post with this title' Dear LIB readers: is this normal? (See it HERE) which you posted on Friday, please post this...it might help someone...thanks sis!
My name is Dayo. I’m a typical Nigerian guy and I cherish my Fridays a lot; I get to hang out with the sickest guys every Friday night and secondly, It’s another escape from my nagging and boring wife. I get confused sometimes on whether she’s my mother or my wife. Don’t get it twisted; I love her pieces. It just gets complicated; like I wish we never got married…marriage has turned her into something that doesn’t amuse me. I wish she was still the adventurous, charming, high spirited lady I dated for five years.


A lot of people say its unethical for married guys to be found in a club, but I wish everyone won’t be too quick to judge and understand that people look for fun to run away from their problems; they just want to breathe, like me.

I forgot to say that I work in Guarantee Trust Bank along Lekki, I love my job and my job loves me, maybe its because I’m the senior banking officer. Lol. This particular morning, a lady breezed into my office. My heart raced faster because I had not sighted anything this beautiful in a long while. She wasn’t the typical slender Barbie, in fact, she was a bit chubby but her smile, cuteness and…I was tripped.

“Hi Good morning! Your ATM has swallowed my card!” She laughed, unlike a typical customer that would ram you.

I just tried to form Boss laughter…

“Good morning, You know what? I’d personally make sure they get it out for you, but not today. Can you wait till Monday?” I smiled

“GTB shaaa! OK, can I just drop my number so you could call me up or just text when its ready so I don’t come twice? Please? My name is Nancy” She blinked her eyes in a funny way.

“Sure” I smiled

We exchanged numbers. What a lucky Friday!

So it was 10:00pm and I headed to the club…as usual my friends were chilling for me. My wife had called a couple of times, I just ignored it. She knows I’m never home Friday nights.

“Look at you!” I heard someone say. I raised my head and it was the ATM lady-Nancy.

“Wow, look at you too!” I was surprised to see her but I was happy I didn’t have to wait till Monday to see her again.

“Happy Friday!” She screamed because of the noise, “Wanna dance?”

I didn’t even have the chance to answer, she already pulled me to dance floor. I really suck at dancing but she helped me; she was a great dancer! I had fun! At some point we decided to go to a private area and we talked, ranging from work, business to personal life. I tried to hide my ring as much as possible, I certainly didn’t want this to end now.

“You are a really wonderful lady. You are so interesting…any guy would want to be with you all day” I said.

“I wasn’t always like this but I have learned the hard way that life is just too short to be sad” she sang

Then her phone rang…

“Hey baby! Yeah I’m at the private lounge, I’d like you to meet someone…alright boo” she talked excitedly as usual.

I was in shock until this tall handsome man walks up to her and kisses her.
“You were late. Meet Dayo; I met him this morning, he’s helping with your ATM I told you got swallowed and Dayo this is my B to the O-O,” she laughed “Meet my husband Kolade, we only come here to dance every
fortnight Friday; away from work, stress and kids.”

“Wow, a pleasure” I managed to shake him

Then she stood now excitedly holding her husband’s arms.

“Why don’t we invite Dayo for Mimi’s 16th birthday tomorrow?” Her husband said

They have kids too? How long have they been married and they look like a couple just dating!

“Silly me, please come for my second daughter’s 16th tomorrow. It would be an honor” She brought out an I.V from her purse.

I began to feel so ashamed of myself…this was another guy like me, getting it right with one woman.

I collected the I.V and promised to be there.

“See you tomorrow! Have you had something to eat Kolade?” she talked and dragged her husband along.

They left and I kept staring at the thin air like I had seen a ghost.
They come just to dance together every fortnight Fridays? Why didn’t I think of that! Temi loves to dance…she also likes long walks, she loves to talk…she loves jazz music, there’s this vivid picture I have
of me putting her hand on my chest when we danced at a jazz club on our first year anniversary…I found myself typing all the things I knew Temi loved to do on my I pad and I realized I had denied her of all…I
had made her the old woman she acts.

What the hell was I doing here! I didn’t even tell my friends goodbye, I walked out of the club into my Jaguar. Temi’s call came through and I picked at first ring.

“Temi?” My heart raced

“I know you are not coming home…”

“I am, stay up so we can gist. Been a while” I decided to do everything on that list and to even add many more for the rest of my lifetime with her.

“Are you alright?” She was shocked I suppose

“And I’d like us to go for a birthday party tomorrow. I want you to
meet this amazing couple”

“You sound different Dayo”
“Maybe I’m different”

“Don’t say it! don’t say it! when you come we will gist very well” she laughed

She laughed!!! In just that laughter that I hadn’t heard in a while, she sounded like the lady I married six years ago…

*Weeping*
dat was touching

A said...

Ladies should stop making their husbands the center of their lives and expecting all your happiness to come from him.... That's what turns you into a nag..
Remember that girl he fell in love with? That laughing, fun loving adventurous girl? You were that girl before you knew him! You can still be that girl, just focus a percentage of your time on what makes you happy instead of what he does to make you unhappy.
By the time your happiness starts shining through, he will be the one begging for your time.

Linda,live story jo..Am a confirm Club freak,I club from Wednessday to Saturday every week,i can tell you categorically that,its no good for a responsible woman to club.Thats the fact.You can take ur wife,fiance for outing,beaches,eateries,hollidaying,cinema,whatever,but the issue of clubing is nothing to write home about.Can you tell you parent that you met your hubby in a night club?So forget all this story you are posting here.I ve already read it on facebook.So its just a write up,and not a reality.

Anonymous said...

I think u guys are not facing the fact here. We need to advise ourselves(ladies) about being approachable.the man complained about his wife's attitude though shouldn't be enough reason for him to leave home when he supposed to stay with the family but still, it shouldn't be over emphasized. Let's keep our homes! GOOD ATTITUDE IS KEY!

James 1:12-15

12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Dayo,

I am a married chic as well and you were about to get on my bad santa list but for the good ending. Thanks for sharing this story although you should not have given TMI. Next time I am in Lagos, I will go to your GTB branch and ask for the dude with the Jaguar. Unless all of una get Jaguar. Now I am curoious to see who you are - not get close or talk to you, hehe. That was your chance encounter with God before you derailed. As weird as that might seem, he is the restorer who is omnipresent. He is in the clubs, on the streets, wherever. That night, the lady would not have had a difficult time bedding you if that is what she wanted. But God used her to open your mind first, then he showed you what you were missing. If someone had come to you point blank and said dude, why not bring iyawo to jazz club, you would have replied "impossicant".

Glad to hear you are on the way to an exciting future.

BTW, I just wish my husband would agree to dance with me when we go to events, or allow me hold his hands like I used to, or pay me compliments, or call me boo like he used to,or not come up with the response "no" when I call his name to ask him a question or tell him a story about work, or not tell me about how he is going to work tomorrow when I want to do something spontaneous with him on Sunday night. He is not any fun anymore. I am still as HOT as ever. I still get stares and passes from singles who think I am 28 instead of 42. My husband just seems to be in early senesence!

FortySeven said...

First of all, this is obviously a work of fiction.

That being said, I think its a nice piece and I'm amazed @ how many people are focusing on the mundane and irrelevant parts of the story (the car, money, lifestyle, etc) and are totally missing the moral therein!

For those that can't get past the irrelevant, lemme spell it out for u:

All this guy is tryna say is that rather than focus on the negative things about ur significant other, try to improve ur relationship by focusing on creating quality time together. It might be going clubbing together (as in the story) or it might be other stuff like going swimming, eating at a fancy restuarant once a week or once a month or however regularly it suits u. It may even be the 2 of u going go-carting every other weekend! Whatever it is, sha create time to HAVE FUN TOGETHER!

And for those who say a responsible woman should not go clubbing, I say ur in great need of enlightenment. What exaclty does it mean to be responsible? If u pay ur bills, provide for ur kids, pay ur tax, live a good and healthy life, does the fact that ur like to dance to loud music make you irresponsible??Anyways, that's a topic for another day.

I've always enjoyed clubbing tho admittedly I dont club as much as i used to. My wife on the other hand is a home body. However every once in a while she gets all "sexied" up and we hit the club for a night of dancing and drinking and laughing and then we go home and have mind blowing sex! I also sit at home and watch desperate housewives and jerseylicious and do the dishes with her some times cos I know that's what she loves.

Sure we have our fair share of fights, but after all's said and done, I couldn't ask for a more wonderful woman!

The point is, we take the time to play, to have fun the way that suits us! This is what has made us so close...

This is the moral of this story and its a damned good one!

I met my hubby in a rocking night club. true story. we are both decent, respectable, professional people who love music and love to dance. for those going on about "will you tell your mum you met your wife at a nightclub?" Are you serious? Some people need to get a life. The "story" in any case is a work of fiction, but it just goes to show how SHALLOW the majority of readers of this blog are. SMH!

The essence of this article is not whether it happened or not, it is a wake up call to mostly Nigerian men who think that their wives are just there at homme waiting for them to come back home from their escapades.

The article is therapuetical, makes a lot of sense and it sure dose happen everyday here in Nigeria. learn how to be friends and partners with your wives and the marriage life will be good to you. You are married and not buried for crying out loud.

That shit you are looking for out there are all the same just different face on it. I know cos I've been married for 25 yrs and loving it. By the way, am a guy.

I am not surprised @ the naysayers who come to LIB to spew thrash from the inner recess of their negative minds. When you read a story don't just look @ it on the surface; even Jesus christ used parables to get his message accross. If the stories in the parables are not inspiring, I am not sure we would feel great when we do good. In other words, learn from the story and make some personal changes to spice up your relationship instead of apportioning blames. Go see a movie, workout together, go to the market for groceries, buy a computer game( I want to try this one), do something positive and fun with ur spouse, so that when the hard times come( they def will), you will always rememeber how much you guys love each other and how much fun you have 2geda, and perhaps you won't worry much about the small things. May we find the one that's meant for us in Jesus name. My boys's are finding love and getting married, I am praying for mine; pray for yours. Love is a beautiful thing!!

Great story,fiction or fact,doesnt really matter but the lesson does.Dont turn your wife to a boring,old woman who will definetely nag.Do those things you did while you were dating,whatever you do,make sure you are both having fun cos life is too short to live it out with an unhappy spouse.

Lola A, stop taking the story literally and parochially. The message is simple, if your spouse likes something, try involving yourself in it (and vice versa) just for that 'togetherness' feeling. My woman isn't a football fan but I tell you we hav matching ChelseaFC outfits. #Share the fun whenever you can#

WHEN COUPLES BEGIN TO CLUB TOGETHER; A TIME WILL COME WHEN ONE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE. THE DEVIL WILL ARRANGE FOR THE OTHER TO "DO IT" IN THE CAR AND TOILETS WITH STARK STRANGERS. THE MULTIPLICATION OF UNFAITHFULNESS AND TRANSFER OF DISEASES AND DEMONS STARTS! WHY DINE WITH THE DEVIL AT ALL? ARE THERE NO OTHER THINGS THAT THE COUPLE ENJOY DOING TOGETHER SAVE TO BE "NOCTURNAL BEINGS"?

I did not want to blame or condemned anybody supporting clubbing or whatever.As 4 me i support and do encourage any man to take care of his wife,but if u re really the night crawler or the frequent clubing type,U ll understand what it meant clubing most expectially for ladies,No gain(talking frm experienced).To cap it all,stick with ur man and let him knw what you want.Dont hide ur feelings.

Osy said...

My brother don't mind this lame people here talking about taking a wife to club,that's rubbish. You already mentioned places that one can take their wives to not clubs. To show your woman that you love her is not by taking her to clubs. If you really club as a guy I bet you won't try it so make we Leave all these noise here

Osy said...

Forget that thing jor loosed couple can get tangled while together in club. A man can still exchange numbers in clubs and a bad woman can do it neatly so abstain from clubbing most times and follow what Doctor just said. Stop justifying your bad acts

GlamNotchApparels said...

interesting!

Why r peole so negative tho, whether u read it on fb or some1 fowarded to your bb doesnt change the moral or heart of the story and no one is saying go clubbing with ur husband.

he says "i have made her the old woman she acts..." interpretation?...whether ur a man or woman, before blaming ur wife of naggin or ur husband of keeping late nights make sure ur not the one that turned them into what they have become. Shikena.

Linda nwaanyi oma, daalu so, the story has given me alot to think about. God bless you.

Nigerians and their sanctimonious attitude??? I don't even get it. Personally, I don't go clubbing because it is usually rough but then I DO NOT judge people who go clubbing. My not going doesn't make me a saint. Pick the lessons and move the fuck on! The message is very very clear. Let us stop this our holier than thou attitude when many of us even have skeletons in our cupboards! Sigh

Anonymous said...

I wonder the last time I read a story of what a woman needs to do to make her husband or boyfriend become happy again! Crap! I am sick of this rubbish of 'the man not doing something right' and as such the relationship goes sour! Rubbish! We all are at fault for bad relationships! Man love your wife, woman respect your husband! If we all obeyed, we would not have any need for the fictitious story above!!!!!

Ziba! said...

WOW! I see more that the problem with Nigeria is not just the government BUT THE PEOPLE AND THE WAY THEY THINK! Haba! Does one have to do Literature in english b4 understanding the concept of underlying meanings in stories??? Why won't we remain backward in EVERYTHING? I feel so so sad.

But that said, this story has made me realise what's wrong in my marriage and what I need to do. Tnx Dayo (or whoever you are) :)

wow, linda thanks for posting this story, i really learnt something today, being married doesnt necessarily mean to be bored, make your marriage fun, by being friends, lovers and all you used to be when you where dating.you dont need to necessarily plan to do all the fun stuffs when youre married, start now!!!!!!! thanks a bunch.

This looks more dn a fairy tale to me, d writer shld consider writing as a secondary career, I mean a hot Nija mum wt a 16-yr old, c'mon we'll nt dt stupid ok.

Linda who are all these idiots that make silly comments like lilspicer and morzook biobaku? why can't people read,don't make comment if u don't ve anything to say and move on. If the story doesn't sound true there is a lesson to learn from it period.

Linda, this exact story has been circulating on BB for months now. I'm 100% sure it's not an original response to the letter you posted a few days back. One of your readers sent you something she\he came across on social media.

A man writing from the States;That doctor that commented (IN UPPERCASE) there is talking reality; real sense. DON'T THE COUPLE HAVE OTHER PASTIMES? CHECK THE STATISTICS OF "MURDERS, drunken driving AND BRAWLS AFTER CLUBBING" even here in the States. Is that what a decent couple (and their kids)want to expose themselves to? Why can't folks be more proactive in good deeds? There are a thousand and one games that couples can go together for Christ's sake! Can guys who have clubbed before educate these folks that are hailing this story on the things that are obtainable in clubs. My good friend will always remember how his life got blown away by drugs from clubbing. Thank God that he is saved in Christ now.

*BS* looooooong hisss go n start writing script for nollywood movies *oshi* in everything u said now did u offer solution to the woman with a REAL life problem? Ur bz boring us with cock n bull stories *rolls eyes*

Anonymous said...

okk lemme just clear the air, first of all this story was not written by the bros that sent it and it is not a real life story it is a fiction written by lowladee on http://www.lowladee.com/?p=4644 ,com the title is friday and forever. whoever gave linda just copied the story and pasted it here as a lie
Now to the story it is very inspiring and i think it has passed its message to those that need it. its not saying u necessarily go clubbing with ur husband or wife but just create time for fun and enjoy yourselves.

Whether the story is true or false the fact remains that for a marriage to work it takes 2! Marriage changes people that's not news but how far would you let that affect you?
