It’s
another Saturday, and women know the horror of going to the market on Saturdays
for the weeks’ supply of groceries. Honestly, the government that that helps us
establish ultra-modern markets will have my life time vote! (or something like
that! LOL).
Anyways, I courageously head to the market this Saturday morning
(because a girl must do what a girl must do) and expectedly it is the same
crazy mix of humans, cars, wares and some animals here and there, all screaming
and tooting horns as the feeling takes them, which was quite often. Parking of
course was the usual nightmare. However I spy a spot on the street a short
distance from the market and quickly park my car, heading out to the market
before anyone can call me back.
On getting
to my car after buying my groceries, what do I meet but an enterprising young
man busily washing my car! It’s a good day so I start to chuckle. This my
country! You hustle to make a buck with much risk! I ask him, ‘Oga so na by
force washing be this now?’ ‘No oh, madam, I just say make I wash am, if you
appreciate me, no problem.’ Was his response.
I stand
watching him complete his task as my mind flies with thoughts. You see, this is
how some of my single sisters, quickly ‘occupy’! They see a guy, who isn’t in a
relationship,-ding ding! Potential husband material, and go on autopilot- 'I can groom him, make myself useful, get him hooked on
me, till he sees he can’t live without me'. Then they start to call 'just checking on you', forming nice 'have you eaten', Being concerned 'hope the fuel situation is not stressing you', giving of themselves 'I believe in you, here, take my life savings and start the business,'...
Like the enterprising man, it’s a risk! That play sometimes pays off with
the ding
a ling a ring, but other times… I may have come back from my shopping with no extra cash to spare, or given him
something far lower than his effort. Some guys just enjoy the attention
showered on them, but their empty pockets (hearts) has no love to spare! Some
enjoy the attention, and when asked is this going to get to the Promised Land,
they go ‘you’re like a sister to me!’
A play off
of your heart, time, effort, emotions, resources for a ring might be worth it, but girls
you may want to reconsider. The stakes are high. Moreover, you’d always wonder,
did he really choose you, or is he merely coasting having just gone passively
with the tide?
You’re
worth a definite stand, and a pursuit! Only #occupyoninvitation
For my
golden girls, because you’re worth it!
D2AGE.
