Satire: 5 guys you should fall for as a Nigerian undergraduate
As a Nigerian undergraduate, navigating the treacherous waters of romance can be quite a challenge. While there are plenty of wonderful guys out there, it's important to be aware of certain types that may not have your best interests at heart but are absolutely delightful to date. Here are five guys you should fall for as a Nigerian undergraduate:
1. "The Smooth Talker": This guy has a silver tongue that could rival the most talented politicians. He knows exactly what to say to sweep you off your feet. He'll shower you with compliments, recite sweet poetry, and make you feel like the most special girl in the world. But beware, behind those smooth words lies a knack for manipulation. His words are sweet promises, and once he gets what he wants, he'll move on to his next conquest faster than you can say "Nollywood romance." But you would now certainly know what it feels like to date a sweet smoot talker.
2. "The 'Big Boy'": This guy loves to flaunt his wealth and luxurious lifestyle. He drives flashy cars, wears designer clothes, and always makes sure to be seen at the trendiest spots in town. But don't be fooled by the materialistic facade. More often than not, his wealth is borrowed, and his extravagant lifestyle is funded by empty pockets and mounting debts. Falling for the "big boy" might lead you down a path of financial woes and disappointment but it is definitely worth it.
3. "The Ghost": This guy is a master of disappearing acts. He's charming and attentive when he's around, but as soon as things start to get serious, he vanishes into thin air. You'll find yourself constantly waiting for his calls or texts, wondering what went wrong. He might resurface after a while with a flimsy excuse or a heartfelt apology, only to repeat the cycle all over again. Feel free to waste your time on someone who treats you like a game of hide-and-seek.
4. "The Social Media Guru": This guy is obsessed with his online presence. He spends more time perfecting his Instagram feed than actually getting to know you. He's more interested in capturing the perfect selfie than creating meaningful connections. If you find yourself dating a social media guru, you'll likely be overshadowed by his constant need for validation from strangers on the internet.
5. "The Overly Possessive Romeo": This guy thinks he's the protagonist of a Nigerian soap opera, where possessiveness equals love. He'll monitor your every move, demand constant updates on your whereabouts, and alienate you from your friends and family. While he may claim that it's because he loves you so much, his behavior is a clear sign of insecurity and control.
