My Mr Not So Right

My Mr not so Right I'm probably not the only one, but does anyone else have that phase with dating where You just get tired of meeting people? Then from nowhere You'll just  see somebody that looks like he came out of a magazine. So this particular day i was eating and minding my own business, when  i got a notification for this guy's profile on Nirvanae. This guy  called Kennedy, right? His pictures made him look like you could confuse him for RMD and Ramsey Noah, lol i don't even know how to explain that, and yes i almost licked my screen. But I'm not going to lie he also seemed kinda suspicious. The details on his profile were vague. His occupation said Dj, his hobbies said "whatever feels good" and even his bio had  nothing except one weird line that said something about "You only live once". Lol that line felt very playboy-ish.  Normally, I would have just continued minding my business, but did you see his picture? A girl's gotta know mo

The Jollof Master

My best experience was with Tope.  So my handler sent his profile to me, and it was excitement at first sight. One of his pictures she sent was of him posing with a giant pot of jollof rice. And let me tell you, that jollof looked GLORIOUS.  Golden, with a hint of red pepper peeking through. My stomach rumbled louder than Fela drumming at a Lagos party.

We chatted for a bit, mostly about jollof rice (obviously). He always boasted about the jollof recipe his Mother gave to him. He even offered to cook for me on our first date! Now, some girls may be wary of a free meal, but the thought of that jollof and how vivid the meal prep updates he

 The Egungun guy  There are no type of people you will not see while you're dating or trying to date. And I have definitely met many interesting men on Nirvanae. That's how I met this young bloke called Dayo. Dayo had the face of a sweet boy, like a really kind face that makes you just want to know the person. But his bio said, "Egungun is not a masquerade!"  I was Intrigued, so I accepted. Lol now that I think of it, my curiosity always gets me into the craziest situations. Anyway, it turned out, Dayo was a massive egungun enthusiast. Egungun, for those who don't know, are those fascinating masked Yoruba spirits that appear during festivals.  Dayo could talk about egungun costumes, rituals, and history for hours. He even had pictures of himself participating in egungun ceremonies. I love every form of cultural appreciation, but the love that Dayo had for this egungun thing was clearly too much. Our first date was a trip to a museum exhibit on Yoruba masks, It was
