CORDIAL BREAK UP IS THE BEST

In Nigeria, you cannot break up, move on and still be friends with an ex. It means that the two of you must be sleeping together.

Because you know, once a man's penis has been inside your vagina, it can enter over and over again any time he wants.

Back in high school, I had classmates who dated, broke up and eventually became friends again. After the usual bitterness and anger that followed their separation, they would start getting close again, and within a few months, they were talking and chatting like they had never even been together before.

But in Nigeria, kole happen. They want you to be keeping malice with your ex to show that the two of you are no longer involved. Even then they will still judge you for being bitter and perhaps fake. Who knows? You could still be meeting up with him in secret.

Unless the person who has remained friends with an ex is their son or daughter of course. In which case, they will praise him or her for their maturity and ability to resolve conflicts.

The rest of us instead, will be labelled cheap sluts who still want a piece of their ex.

Imagine a woman questioning my decision to remain friends with an ex when her own son was going about town with his ex. The nerve of some people to be hypocrites and be shameless about it.

I'm one person who believes that some people are better off as friends than boyfriends/girlfriends. And just because you didn't work out as a couple doesn't mean you should discard each other like garbage. If you are constantly discarding your exes after a break up, it's time to sit down and ask yourself questions. Because it's either you are a horrible person or you are a damaged person who keeps choosing horrible people to date.

I know my value as a person and I know how much a friendship with me can be beneficial. I'm not perfect, but my friends can attest to my level of dedication and loyalty. You can't say you were friends with me or dated me and didn't gain anything. So any basic Nigerian who wants to use their sand brain to judge me should get ready to be trashed.

Exes are not vomit or sloppy sachets or used products. They are people. Know the value of people for who they are and not just for what they can give.

And if your exes keep running away from you after the break up, then my dear, you are the problem.
