NAIJA MEN "DO" KISS AND TELL!!!

I would like to thank those who came by my blog. It is so good to be single again, as in I have heard more gist in the past 2 days than I did during the 2 years I was in a relationship. Is there a written rule that I don’t know about, that only singles are eligible for getting gist? You people should answer me oh…………….okay am tired of waiting, anyways I don’t blame you guys because some babes just can’t keep gist to themselves, if you let them in on any gist you should be sure their boyfriend will know also! The bobo will now be looking at you one kind when you guys see, you know that madam-gossip-i- hail-you look....LOL.
Anyways let me get to the koko of this post. As for me, I am scared of naija men, them guys are something else oh! As in, can you imagine that a personal friend of mine, not a friend’s auntie’s mother’s son oh. When I say friend I mean I see him at least once a week .Let’s call him Boye. So I get a phonecall from my friend to go to Boye’s facebook page. Boye just broke up with his girlfriend and the best thing he could do was to proceed to facebook and announce using the status update that “His ex-girlfriend (he gave the first and last name of the girl) had a HUGE vajayjay”. He is one of those guys that you meet once and he adds you as a friend on facebook. So you can imagine he has thousands of friends, and also he and the girl had a lot of mutual friends. The stupid boy didn’t stop there oh he kept giving us updates about the girl for another week, that was the main gist the whole of last semester. Everyone went to Boye's facebook page atleast once a day for that whole week. Yours truly was guilty also....hehehe. If I was the girl I would have jumped into river ocean…lol…seriously no jokes. When I see the girl around campus I feel for her, pele my dear everything will be alright.
Fast-forward to yesterday I was just watching the b-ball game (Lakers vs. Celtics) when one of my very close friend called me from jand lets call her jandedbabe. The number was showing as private and I wasn’t going to pick it, because there is this one boy that calls and if I don’t pick up then he calls as private number. I don’t know why but I picked it eventually, thank God I did. It was jandedbabe and she was coming to the states at the end of the month to visit, we were making arrangements on how we were going to meet up and all. After talking about the serious things, she did her usual duty of giving me the lastest gossip in jand……..you know how we girls do *wink wink*. Am not about to deny I like G-I-S-T, infact if you are reading this blog you are a gistmonger too and you need to stop denying it: P. Anyways we ended up talking about her ex, something about him having a new girlfriend and they broke up because the girl liked sex too much. When she told me I was like jandedbabe I didnt hear you well. As in for real. Anyways you know how janded gist gets around real fast. Word got to the girl and she had the audacity to say “anyways I was with him because of the sex”. Babygirl wherever you are please you can do better than that and also please do us all a favour and learn how to respect yourself.
My ex was not from Nigeria he was from another West African country and thank God he was all about keeping our relationship private. Mama finegirl didn’t like him because he wasn’t a Tayo, Kunle or Jide , my mother is very backwards when it comes to things like this. Now that am single she has been drumming it in my ears that I should looking be looking for a good Yoruba man. See me see trouble, will she be there to make him Amala, Eba,Fufu, Pounded yam and the likes? Me I can make anything but all those food you eat with your hands. I can make you the ogbono, okoro soup or efo but am sorry you have to make the eba yourself only if you want to eat okoro soup and rice or pasta.....lol.
Sorry I deviated, back to what I was saying....my people I don’t know what to do but one thing I know for sure is that I don’t want my business to be out there just because I am dating a Nigerian guy. What advice do you guys have? How can you prevent them from giving out too much information while you guys are dating or after the much dreaded breakup? Does it involve a contract..lol? Also do you guys have any horror stories of a naija guy kissing and telling? PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE

Mz. Dee said...

Ok now i can yarn.. i'm not sure its only 9ja dudez dat actually do dis.
I had a friend who was datin an italian dude. He wud alwayz tell his friends bout stuff him and my friend did... not the "my babe is so hot and sexy" praise... the in and out of their sexcapades! My friend didnt know until one day sum chick she just met thru sum of her friends was sayin she heard dis and dat bout her.. how?? d girl's brother is a friend to her boo.
Lotz of guyz do it.. to make sure their ego isnt too hurt or wat?.. abi to glorify themselves. Me i dont know... guyz shud probably give us a better answer dis.
Appetizer well-served o!
Luvin it

Naija finegirl said...

Babe am happy you liked it. The reason am particular about nigerian guys is because what they say actually travels faster and does more damage. Some of my mom's friends are still single till date because of this. The Nigerian community is too small to be having some guy ruin your future all in the name of not hurting thier ego.

Unknown said...

OMG I know EXACTLY what you mean! I'm only half Nigerian (or 1/3 depending on how you want to count) and the things I hear. I can be hearing something about someone who lives like 4-5 hours away, never met them, but I will have the gist. M (check my blog - hehe) is probably one of the very first people to immerse me in the "Nigerian Circle" and I am aware of it so trying hard to keep out of a lot of the drama. But it's ok I gues. I think when there's no drama it's nice to have such a large network of friends. But for me privacy first!

Man this is a long comment *Blush

ejura said...

Hi dear, welcome to blog ville.
I don't think all Naija guys kiss and tell. As a matter of fact I think any man from any where in the world is capable of doing this. I also find it really immature. I think it is things like this that separate real men from the boys.
Hope you find the yoruba man yr mom would approve of but if you don't, well that Kenyan ain't bad either after all Obama could just be the next presido.lol!

Lady A said...

Girl please, that's just it...you really won't know til the breakup happens. It's so important to be associates, then friends, then best friends and during those times of course you are going to share personal things (this friendship without SEX!!!!!!). However he/she handles such personal info that's how they would probably handal it in the time of the relationship.You just have to choose wisley and pray for the right on.

Duchess said...

irrespective of race tribe or colour....kiss n tell is a guy thing...not al guys do it tho..the immature ones...bur i dnt think i can date a non-nigerian,its just about choosing the right guy.

nice blog!

Naija finegirl said...

nogo: thanks for stopping by my blog. btw you are doing the right thing by staying out of drama:)

ejura: if its not obama am sorry i cannot settle for any other kenyan....lol. Am not trying to be shallow oh, but come to think of it i dont think i have seen a cute kenyan guy...oops...did i say that out loud...*giggles*

lady a: I feel you with becoming friends before lovers, atleast with that if the guy values your friendship, he will keep his mouth shut.

duchess: Immature guys wont be our portion, can i get an AMEN to that:). Btw I totally dig ur blog.

LG said...

babes,there r still sum decent guys
out there, who cherish privacy in their relationship, all one have to do is to look hard n u ' find dem.


hope u r gud?
njoy ur w'end dear.

Rebirth said...

not every guy does that. you have to look for signs like if start talking, he bad mouths or gossips about his previous girlfriends and all...... in short, a guy that goes around to kiss and tell is an insecure jerk who thinks doing it will increase his self esteem.........

bumight said...

its not about dating a naija guy, its about dating an immature naija guy...

Naija finegirl said...

lg: hope you have a lovely weekend too my dear and u had better bring us the gist first thing monday morning :)

funms: i couldn't have said it any better.

bumight: ur right but most guys are immature anyways :(

Bookie19 said...

Hey gurl, its not only naija guys that kiss nd tell..a lot of guys do that ish..Just let a group of guys get together and its a wrap..they will talk about any and everything..Trust me, most of my friends are guys and when i hear them talk it makes me cringe

flabby said...

hmmm..do naija guys evn talk this much?

but realistically..dont girls talk more..?
well naija babes dont 'kiss and tell' sha..cos there a bit coded..but they tell everybody about the guys scion!

Tininu said...

okay firstly you know where ever there is male- bashing i will be there.....

firstly babes kiss and tell , infact too much, that is why a lot of guys are caught cheating but that is not the point today..

Nija ciricle is like quick sand, once you get in, your actually going to actually change soo man things in your life to get out and mean every word the worst part of it is that you never get out fully,

this is coming from someone that has been there or is still there....

everytime i try to leave, something keep pulling me back, me back!!..lol!!

you hate liars....we are going to get along soo well

Anonymous said...

Welcome, I like you already..lol :)

I really cant stand liars too! To the tin-tin guy above me..hint phone, hint call..jst playin, lol.

I feel you on that kiss and tell thing...some guys cant just keep their mouths shut...!

Guys can be bastards mehn...as in the things they say about some girls..kia one can only just feel sorry for them!! To be honest I really don't know how you can stop them from blabbing. But there are guys out there that you can trust sha. The hard bit is finding them...

Lady said...

MY SISTA!! U'VE READ MY MIND TOO OOO!!!!!!! BUT I FEEL BUMINGHT ON THE STATMENT "ITS NOT ABOUT A NAIJA GUY ITS ABOUT AN IMMATURE NIAJA GUY" ....I MEAN D DUDE THAT WENT ON TO DISS HIS EX THRU HIS FB STATUES....I MEAN COMMON NAWWWW...surely that is not a man!!!! that is a boy abeg!!! if he knew her punana was big then wot does that make him for having a girl with sooo much traffic as GIRLFRIEND..not a fuck buddy ooo..

HEHE

Lady said...

CAN I JUST ADD...DATING A GUY IN THE CENTRE OF THE NAIJA CIRCLE ONLY ADDS MORE DRAMA TO UR RELATIONSHIP...most times it will be the reason u break up! i had this friend....dating this "self made celeb" in d naija circle..GIRLS USED TO ACTUALLY SEND HER FB MSGS SAYING "OH I HOPE UR TAKING CARE OF HIM" OR " SAY HI TO UR MAN FOR ME"...CRAP LIKE THAT FROM GALS SHE DOESNT EVEN KNU! LOLOLOL....THEY JUST FEEL D NEED TO ATTACH THEMSELVES TO YOU BY FIRE BY FORCE!OLOLO...and if ur man had been naughty in the past..u will never hear the end of it. I PERSONALLY, IT WILL TAKE A REALLY GREAT MAN IN D NAIJA CIRLCE TO HOLD ME DOWN..I NEED TO FEEL HE IS WORTH PUTTING UP WIV ALL D BULLSHIT FOR!
p.s: i dont ever think i will publicise my relationship on fb..thats just me ooo...

Lady said...

NaijaScorpio said...

First time here. Hope u don't desert us like naija fineboy did? Now to go read the post.

NaijaScorpio said...

See why i hate facebook. That boy is just a jack ass. I guess the only way to ensure your relationship stays private is to pick a person who values privacy. If not, anything goes.

exschoolnerd said...

thnx for the shout on ur previous post..totally appreciate it..just wanted to welcome u to blogville..now lemme go read this post...

Zena said...

The mighty Facebook, it's powers can be used for both good and evil, the douche bag is a bastard for doing that, shows his level of maturity actually,

Well, in all fairness All Nigerian men aren't like that,we just have the assholes once in awhile....

There was this guy I knew that after he broke up with his girlfriend he'd tell anybody that cared to listen that his ex was bad in bed and she would just lay there and do nothing,

Let's just say her relatives took care of him, he's a quiet bloke right now

You are hella funny ,lol, enjoyed the blog.

desperate lady said...

lmaooo gosh i like u! come u like jist o, u finish givin us jist n ur askin 4 our story too.
O Naija men, they just make me laugh......wut kinda nonsence rubbish is dat.....facebook? wow? pls how old is dis dude we're talkin about here?

as 4 d 2nd story....ummmm y u asking the girl to respect herself cos she said she was with him 4 sex? isnt she being honest? y do naija girls pretend a lot? if ur with some1 for sex then say so, ders absolutely nothin wrong with that.......u dont have to go out and lie just so peeps will see u as *whateva they wanna c u as*

Lastly,i dont know how u can u prevent it, all i know is when u wanna date a naija dude, he should be way older than u are cos most naija men r very very childish.

desperate lady said...

Accidental SIren said...

Yay....another young blogger! My ex's would never kiss and tell though LOL.

Ms. emmotions said...

yes most guys kiss and tell but its really has nothing to do with the tribe tho

Afrobabe said...

I dont think a lousy guy has anything to do with where he comes from...its his personality...I think you can know such people before even entering a relationship with them...

Take time to know a guy...dont jump into bed too early especially if you want something permanent...

Respect yourself and you will be respected...

femme fatale said...

welcome 2 BLOGVILLE...i love ur blog already!!

totally get the whole naija guys and gist,im sure its all guys but as d naiija circle is so small...oh well u can guess d rest!

mizchif said...

Welcome. hehehe. Feel s so good to say that , seeing as i'm new myself, feels good to meet sum1 newer.
Loving ur blog already.
As 4 dis ur topic ehn, hmmmmm, I run, when i say run, like with my heels touching the back of my head kinda race 4rm the whole naija community thing, cuz like tininu said, it's like quicksand, tho methinks it's much worse.
Things u may not even have done r amplified to make u look like a whatidontknow!
As for dat idiot, he'll surely get his comeuppance, soon enuff.
One more reason for me to hate fb, but as a fellow jist addict, i just can't stay away. lol!

Chari said...

sorry mehnn but isnt it stale gist that most dudes (In ma mind all guys) kiss and tell?

Some have coded telling streams and others are jus big mouthed

If you do not know his outlet of telling then ur in big trouble

Jaguda said...

its a disgusting habit that is not limited to any age group. there are men in their 50s who brag about the women they've shagged, especially in naija circles. im talking about who's who type of guys. its definitely an ego thing. and its wack. i dont do it.....infact ive been known to even defend the babe, that we didnt 'enjoy' ourselves, cos i know if i told the boys we did, the news would be all over town!

Omo calabar. said...

Emmm. Not all of us kiss and tell. In ma side of the midwest, its hard enof to find a naija gal talkless of kissing and telling, all of us are gonna be trying to toast the sista.
But if na oyingbo gal, hell yeah am gonna kiss and tell, gotta give ma friends the load down so they can go get their share. Am bad that way. Lol
Yeah not all of us kiss and tell when it comes to our naija sista.
