'What made your man leave?' - Ali Baba gives relationship advise

 
The comedian took to his Facebook page yesterday to dish out relationship advice to women. Find it below.. 
Sometime back, in March, I was advising a babe on how to make a man stay. Some comments posted in reply to my status were that men are only controlled by their third legs, money, yansh, boobs, beauty and ego. I tried to highlight a very serious point that babes were missing.
And that is, everyman wants better. We do not want to feel the one we let go was better.
Not too long ago, I read some wild and wide criticism that greeted what Stella Damasus wrote about keeping a man. To some, wrong as they were, Stella had no business telling anyone how to keep a man. I believe she does. I actually think she knows more than she revealed.
Growing up in Ojo Cantonment, my Dad and I were walking back from his friend from a Soldier in the Education Corp of the Nigerian Army, from Gongola state who had been made a Major. Just as we took a turn, from the officers' mess, a naked mad man was running towards us from the opposite direction, shouting Mad Man... Mad man... To my surprise, My Dad, who was a military man, told us to run for cover. So he dragged me behind a kerosine tank, pushed me to the ground and kept looking to see what the mad man was running from. Meanwhile, Some two Fulani men who used to come into the barracks regularly to read palms of anyone who yielded their hands to them, had been walking behind us, before we took cover. They kept walking.

I nearly laughed when I saw them make a Uturn, and took off after the mad man that had run pass us, it now looked like they were chasing the mad man that was shouting "Maaaaaad man!"

On the heels of the Fulani palm readers was another mad man, brandishing a UTC cutlass . Not Machete. Cutlass. The type used in felling trees. That type that reminded one of Prince Nico Nbaga's bell bottom trousers back then. He was swinging the weapon of death as he pursued... It became obvious to us from where we were crouched that the madman had no one in mind as a target. He was after anyone he could lay his eyes on. Because, soon as the Fulani men, vanished at the end of the Block, he gave up on that chase and followed one Man selling Festac 77 sleeveless Adire. Mr Adire seller was actually laughing at the way the Fulani men took to their heels. So, this time I had to laugh when I saw how the amusement on his face changed into fright. He took off and jumped across the gutter by Palmy Bus stop. He continued running even after the machete carrying mad man hand found new targets.

Sorry I digressed. Hope you are still with me.

My Dad later told me a proverb in URHOBO, "AVUE ODIERO, NE EKI VHENRHEE!" Which means you do not need to tell a deaf man that there is chaos and uncontrollable commotion in the market. He can see. That's all he needs.

Back to Stella DAMASUs' write up. We are not all perfect. That said, when a Musician writes a love song, do you stop listening to the love song or letting the lyrics connect to your relationship because the singer has divorced 8 times or has not been able to hold a relationship longer than 3 months? I don't think so. I think STELLA did well. If you like go call police.

Back to the HASHTAG I talked about earlier, #WhatMadeYourGuyLeaveYou.Many ladies missed the point as they always often do. They were talking about how men are polygamous in nature, Cheats, irresponsible, not ready for commitment, gigolos, lack ambition, lack self control, think with their third legs... BLA BLA BLA.

I need to mention at this time, that i was at that time preparing to talk to young ladies who were looking to settle down and finding the right guy. And to tell you the truth, a lot of the ladies missed the whole point by a mile or 2. They need to read STELLA DAMASUS' piece.

It's easy for a lady to say, a guy was not serious that's why the relationship broke up. Or to say, he used her and dumped her for another lady. Fine. That is what they think made the guy leave. But to be honest, was that all there was to it?

I would like you to know that, that is not entirely the truth. A guy would always weigh his options. He would want to know if he is getting the best. Or if he can see the best coming soon.

ABEG OOO

Before a lot of ladies eat me raw, let me explain. I do agree that it's a two way street, but I can only speak for the WAY I HAVE BEEN ON. I AM AS STRAIGHT AS THEY COME. I KNOW AND HAVE KNOWN ONLY WOMEN.

Have you as a babe listed some CORE 10 things that you think you have that will make a guy not want to leave you? Do you also have some other unique things that a guy will not get anywhere else? Ok, lets agree he likes your breast, your bum bum and your soft body. What has any of those got to do with respect, the tone with which you talk to him, showing you are happy to be the one he chose, supporting his dreams... Does he like blowjobs? Do you give him same? Does he like talking? Do you listen? Some girls are funny, they will admit to knowing that the other girl bests them in several departments, yet still say, they don't know why he moved on to her. Really???

There several things that makes a man make up his mind that it is you or otherwise. DONT get it twisted... If he finds out that someone has 15 CORE things that you have only 3 of and even the 3 are sometimes canceled out by the bad things like nagging, pride, greed...that have formed your character. Your own don set. You are sitting there comparing yourself to someone who has 13 things, more than you and is willing to tolerate his weaknesses and learn more. Yet you are quick to say, you don't know what he sees in "that girl". Hey girlfriend, your beauty stands no where near the towering personality and good heart "that girl" has. Better recognize.

I know I have stepped on that last nerve you have been tolerating me with. OYA delete me. I even need space to add people who tolerate and think like I do.

I rest my case.

  4. Yet another post which puts the blame of women. A man leaves because the woman did something wrong abi? The same way a man chases women and cheats all about tome because his wife isn't giving him good sex? WHEN WILL WE STOP BLAMING WOMEN FOR THE INDISCRETIONS AND LACK OF CONTROL OF MEN?

    Many men battle with a LOT of inner demons. It takes ONLY God to change them. Stop blaming women dumbo!!!!

    1. This Alli Baba's analogy is as incoherent as the mad man he tried to explain. Very misleading to the already non existent 'focal point'. Crappy read. Goodbye

  5. MADE SOME POINTS! but the rest are Total Bullshit! A MAN already knows wat he wants wen he stays with a girl for a while, GREED doesnt let him stay with one. He decides to port! two or more! and thats wen he starts seeing the "already Girlfrend" as not good enough! He gets married to one of the whores he Left a good one for and BEGINS to seriously Regret why he Left Number 1 in d first place! men are Just useless!

  7. Relationships 101: Anyone not making the same amount of efforts as you are making to stay in your life doesn't deserve a space in your life, because the truth is that the person who cares the least in a relationship controls it, so I think it should be at equilibrium for everyone's good!

  23. So wat av u now! Anyways, I think the guys also need to stop and ponder if u av all the things a girl wants in a man! You guys aren't the only ones with CORES! If u wanna be in real relationship and want to be accepted for who you are (am taling to either of the sexes here) then u should be prepared to accept the other person just the way he or she is. So eventually both the guys and ladies av work to do on themselves.

  37. Well said Ali Baba. A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.

    Mind you man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her. Most times men are selfish which makes it hard too.

    But I must say the same thing is applicable to why women leave men. A woman can take care of the family while it takes a man to provide structure, to provide stability.
    How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being,when such a woman complains the man says bye but why.
    Women for sure have their wahala yes but we men are not always right bro.
    My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw and met. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.

  42. Perfect Write Up. Couldn't have said it any better. There are not too many intelligent Nigerian women and its a fact but for those who are intelligent i suggest you go and read Steve Harvey s ACT LIKE A WOMAN THINK LIKE A MAN. I can assure you it will help, please note that the book is for Intelligent women please. You need to have a reading culture to understand what i am talking about.

So girls, the onus is on us to pretend to be nice, pretend to listen, pretend to be able to cook, pretend to understand, pretend to have 15 things, tell him he is soooo handsome and is the best in everthing. Weakness ke? Lailai, he doesn't have anything. And finally, when the ring is on your finger, let the real bitch out. LOL!!!!!

  46. Real talk. Ladies just have to accept this fact. I'm not saying that men can't be unappreciative and insensitive sometimes, but I find that most times, ladies just don't know how to keep their men.

  47. Am in a very good relationship at the moment because i apply everything alibaba talked about in this piece but everytime i try to prepare a meal for my bf it turns out disastrous. Bear in mind that i am not a bad cook at all and this is because i have been cooking for my family since i was 10. No one including my genuinenfriends have ever labelled me a bad cook before. What could be wrong? Sometimes i feel that his forces of his ex girlfriends thst still want him back are definitely against me. I dont know what else to do.

  51. Now I wish my ex will read this and understand why I left her... in her mind she would think I got what I wanted before running away it was beyond that... there are other things just as Alibaba pointed out. Beauty is not enough and even if you are beautiful you should also know there are other prettier girls with other qualities. Girls have to check it honestly they have to check it and rethink. this advice is for those that wants to get married Nigerian girls Nigerian girls.

  52. now ali baba just wrote some chauvinistic crap. He should go and research funnier jokes n not give relationship advice. That not ur calling.

  63. To Anon 6.43, if your friend is really good and decent, someone will soon compensate her..

    The problem is that most girls are self absorbed and narcissist that they cannot see that they are not the shit..

    I have seen several good girls' hearts broken by boys who dint know what they had (usually young ones). 1 of dem is gonna marry b4 d end of d year to 1 of our guys (including her ex's) who we know is headed for the top. Others have married to better off guys, guys that I see as mentors.

    A good girl will finally get the right man, the problem is that there is a difference in the way guys and girls define good girls. Its not about how tight the love below is, its about those core things, the guy can't find anywhere else.

    Why do u think Calabar girls keep stealing the husbands of all our lousy yoruba women?? And trust me its not sex, Calabar women literally serve and adore their women. But as Ali Baba said, many of you are too proud, greedy and selfish to see where you are wrong. A narcissist way of life

  66. Tired of this type of topic. How to pls men, blah blah blah! Women are dying emotionally, looking for a simple gesture of appreciation, a constant and sincere word of 'I love u'. Yet what these fools do is to reduce their phone calls, visits and taking women for granted forgeting they once behaved like lap dogs when they were pursuing you. Forgeting u were once a Queen! The truth is men don't love unconditionally. They go in with conconted image of the lady and when their expectations r not met, they give up. Mr. Adviser is saying the man weighs what he's getting, but he did not add what the man is bringing to the table. Men think they love, but it's only in their head. Through love is unconditional. When a woman feels she ll be loved unconditionally, she ll be a lot more open in the relationship..... Besides, all these 'what a man wants' should not be generalized, as each relationship should be peculiar. Enough of all these relationship releases twarting the brains of the sensible lot. I rest my case

  69. Another stupid piece on how to keep a man. HOW ABOUT HOW TO KEEP A WOMAN!!!!!! Its nonsense articles like this that make men walk around feeling like demi gods. I'm a woman that has been in 3 long term relationships and each guy broke down when I left him. Its not just women that need to learn how to keep their man. Men need to learn how to keep their women too! It goes both ways Nigerians!!!Let's stay informed. God bless.

  71. Just as it's difficult for a man to fathom what a woman wants, same goes for the women. @Anon 6:43pm sorry bout ur friend. But come to of think, do u think those qualities u mentioned are the only prerequiste for marriage? Sometimes it s best not to get married out of pity, am married with kids and my wife is not the most beautiful or the most decent woman I dated. A friend confessed he got married to his wife cos she'nt good in bed.

D truth is you'd always see pple who seem to be better than who you are wit bt if you love her, you'd be willing to work on her and urself. If you keep changing girls cos you see sm1 who you think is better, you'd still wnt 2 change after marriage cos you wnt stop meeting pple and if dat happens, e mean say you nor knw urself! Me 2 rest my case!

  80. Why can't the man work things out with his partner instead of "porting" to the next available woman. I hate it when I read or hear this kind of bullshit on how to keep a man bla bla bla. Are women not worth keeping too? I thought no one is perfect? What happens when that girl the man moved on to starts exibiting her own falts? Is it ok for the man to move on to another girl again?

    Abeg make una spare me this rubbish. That's why most of our African men don't respect women because they feel its the woman's duty to spice up the relationship all the time. They feel they are the be all and end in women's life. I'm sooo pissed.

  92. Well it looks like marriage has been ridiculed and condemned to people who have no respect it regard for the institution. If you believe divorce should be an option when you eventually get married... Those people with that perspective have no business getting married in thE first place.

  94. I am a man and I do believe in karma, a man shouldn't be courting multiple women n vice versa, it's called infidelity, if you can't be faithful and loyal to a person you claim to be in a relationship, you should be single. Comparing people will eventually cause you to lose the best person for you, one should be content and work on the relationship to make it the best it could possibly be. Relationships blossom when both people commit unconditionally

  97. This write up is so stupid and difficult to read. The truth is Nigerian men so not know how to treat, regard or respect women. The tiny words and messages that make her day, the thoughtful gestures, helping hand no one they are willing to do. The women should just keep bending to suit them to be more wifely. Rubbish. Men like drama and a challenge. Why is it that most guys will have a good calm loving girlfriend and instead will go and look for one were to give them drama? It is cos they like it. Guys should say the truth. You are not willing to grow up and be men. U want to Marty and still be boys, chase everything is skirts and be plain irresponsible, my dear I have moved. On to my darling white men o. Apart from the culture difference and the fact that they don't have money to throw away, you have peace of mind, go on holidays as they can afford and get treated like a queen. And most of them don't play games, if they like you, they like you. No keeping 10 bitches because they want free pussy. When I lived in naija people say oyibo too divorce, they have bad character etc. but na lie. You say couples as old as 80yrs pushing themselves in the wheel chair, holding hands and happy. At least they don't pretend. If they are unhappy they divorce and go their ways instead of pretneding and cheating and bringing all sorts of diseases home and living your life for what people will say. Rubbish. Nigerian men should really grow up. I acknowledge that there are terrible women out there but there are also so many wonderful ladies that you people push to evil because of your wicked ways. Biko ehn grow up. You are not doing women a favour by dating them, the truth is most of you will be so useless without the women in your lives who give u focus.

  104. Talk about being selfish. Men are so selfish, that even if they have all what you mentioned, they would still find an excuse to cheat and misbehave. Tell that to those who have decided to make men their problem in life.

    The only way, a man can respect you is when he knows that you know your worth...and trust me, not many of them can deal with that fact.

    Tested this a million times over. All these mushy stuff just make you look desperate and needy.......We all know that guys like to crave for what they cant have. They like the chase.....

  106. That's a great thought there which is an affirmation on Stella piece. Her piece is fill with wisdom and knowledge but what i am against and likewise others is the way she hook up with his man-Daniel. I don't think he has properly divorce is wife before she snatch him and she should have better strive to mend his union rather than dancing to tune perhaps. What do you expect from a single mom.

The message stung a few nerves, but the MAIN point is if the guy aint into you, he aint, haven't you noticed that some guys don't marry the prettiest girls around??Its because of what she has inside and the respect she gives him that makes him keep her. He can have you for a night but it requires more from you to make him keep you for a lifetime.

  134. oh please! all these "how to keep your man" and "how not to let your man leave" writers should shut the fuck up. In every relationship there are two people with two different backgrounds and "growing up stories". if a woman is ready to tolerate the shit as hell behaviour the man developed from his background, no man should have the guts to say "i want u like this and bla bla or i'll leave for a woman that has these qualities in her". Oh please leave and do us all the good to find a man who has more sense and value for who we are.
    men are so stubborn headed they never want to change...yet they want the woman to change....CRAP! NONSENSE! OSHISKO!!!! let me hear word abeg.

  137. It is unfortunate that in our society, what is emphasized always is how to be good to our men so that they don't leave, or cheat, or whatever. Is anyone advising on our men on how to be responsible as a father and husband, or that love is not about what you can obtain from your wife, but loving unconditionally, putting up with faults, working out things together and not blaming your wife for everything negative happening in the home.

    We need to have a change of attitude, and this includes the women too who think they are nothing without the men. A woman should genuinely do the best she can. A man who is sincere will know when his woman is trying. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the man is being encouraged to look for the most he can get out out of a relationship, and the woman is being shortchanged.

  142. Lol. Becos I'm an old school chick, I agree with Ali Baba's write up.But incase some ladies are beaten up by it, I dare to say as a lady that we sometimes push too hard on a brick wall thereby spending too much energy on a rlationship that is obviously over or moving in circles and having no precise direction hoping that we can make it work out. And sometimes, we may be with d right person but fail to handle d rltionship d right way(s) to achieve a beautiful rlationship as result,thereby enduring a strained rlationship.One thing I've learnt from experience is that if a man loves a lady up to a rating of abt 50% and is willing to stick around for her, she in turn should be willing to overlook some flaws on his part(like not being very self expressing,and communicating little) and help him be a beta lover.Afterall, it just does not only "take 2 to Tango" but with understanding and synchronising, a beautiful perfomance of Tango is presented. PENS UP!

  143. very chauvinistic and stupid piece. some people are looking for cancer cures, some keep talking about ways for a WOMAN to keep her husband from leaving. If you like swing from the chandelier, if he wants to leave, he will leave. And even if you succeed in making him stay, it doesn't mean that he is not dipping into other pots.
    so your husband doesn't leave but are you truly happy?

    ReplyDelete
  144. This is a stupid article. Why are you portraying man as if he has right to do anything in any relationship he is in. If he gets blow job is he ready to give his head? Sounds so dirty and men are still craving for it. They make you indulge in things that could result into decease in your body in the later years yet no assurance him marrying you. Lets begin to let men realize women are not slaves. So many ladies are not well today because of the ungogly sacrifices they have made for their boy friends yesterday. Men do what they please because nobody charges them fir execesses they exhibit. Ask yourself this question - why will a nigerian misbehave in nigeria but same nigerian behaves well when he relocates to places where they have rules.....you kniw the answer better than I do.

  147. It takes 2 to tango...both the husband and the wife have their part to play in a marriage. Both parties need to love and understand and appreciate each other, ladies also need affection and if they get this from a man they will go all out to satisfy the man. A man will get the best from a woman he cherishes,loves,protects and cares for. Marriage should not be 1 sided its all about partnership
