The WhatsApp Menace


Does anyone else hate how hot the sun gets from 12pm? I was off from work this particular Friday afternoon and i decided to check for some profiles on nirvanae. I just kept scrolling through a lot of hot profiles wondering why no one had accepted my requests yet. Well, the picture i used wasn't really flattering, i kept saying i would change it, but who actaullly  has the time to take pictures?

Then all of a sudden i found this profile of Sarah, her profile picture was of her in an art gallery wearing a mustard yellow gown, heels and the biggest smile 

She looked happy and mischievous, just like my type.

I quickly sent a request and i guess the gods knew i needed a win because she accepted me shortly.


Our first conversations had a lot of energy, we laughed a lot, cracked jokes, talked about our favorite restaurants in town. And did i mention she was into Football? My dream girl truely. I felt a connection i had not felt since my university days. But then, the switch flipped. Once we moved to WhatsApp, the messages became irregular, and we started using emojis instead of words. Am i the only one that has noticed the quality of some relationships just tanks when you  move them to whatsapp?  Sarah's replies became short, and soon it was radio silence. 

It was sad but i took my L gracefully.


Some Weeks later, i attended this friend's party, but unfortunately i didn't know anyone there, so my bottle of beer was the only thing keeping me company when i suddenly  heard a familiar voice yell my name, it was Sarah, a pleasant surprise, she still looked just as beautiful. We talked and laughed a lot and the energy of meeting in person was even better. 

I clearly should have asked to meet her earlier. We spent the rest of the evening talking and apparently we both shared a love for highlife music, who knew?  I didnt want to lose my chance again  so i asked if she would like to go out on date with me and she said yes. 

That one date turned into more dates, more jokes and many more shared experiences.

 I guess one good date  can turn a digital disappointment into a real-life happily ever after.

The Egungun Guy

 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

The Storm Bringer

I have always had a thing for opinionated women. I got matched with one and it was love at first argument. Don't get me wrong i don't mean i like women that fight or argue a lot. I just love women that have  strong opinions and i can have fun little debates with. And Ada was that girl. Her bio said "i bring the storm, "i said ah! Ada the storm bringer,  lets do this lol". She was a breath of fresh air cause i was tired of meeting other women with no personalities. Our banters were so good, we were almost always breathless after. Then we finally decided to meet. We met at this bar she choose, it was so not  my my style, very loud and filled with people. But i was really looking forward to meeting her so i didn't mind. We got seated, and our chemistry was electrifying. We talked about the traffic we both had to sit in to get there, the rain that fell the night before, and about the drinks we were having. We talked and argued,  it was the best date ever, and she
