The Relationship Genie

I thought this love story was going to be different, I thought the reign of my terrible relationships were finally over, but then again, I thought wrong; this is a tale of another failed relationship.           I was in my third year of study at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) where I read Mass communication; I had made up my mind to stop being more than friends with any guy that crossed my path (since my ex who had recently left Nigeria to the UK and I had broken up because I couldn’t stand the fact that he had cheated on me) I was confident that I could hold my fence high and strong enough; making it impossible for any type of guy with whatever charm he had to break (this was what I thought but oh how hard it would turn out to be) Towards the end of the first semester of my third year, one of my very close male friend Yemi sent my BBM pin to one of his friends Ola without my consent (I was furious) I was only told about this d...

Good morning everyone, today we will be discussing reasons why the love your man has for you seems to  have suddenly vanished overnight. The truth is that people don't just wake up one morning to not care for who it is they used to care for, it must have been a gradual thing. Men and women reason differently;things a man may find fault in women may sit and wonder why they are upset over it and vice versa. Listed below are some few reasons why your man seems to not love you anymore. 1. HE HAS GOTTEN TIRED OF THE RELATIONSHIP  This is the most common reason why his love towards you may have dwindled over time, some guys after haven been in a relationship with their partner for a while (give or take 2 years or more) wake their ladies up to break up texts.The woman on the other hand may begin to wonder what she did wrong - the truth is you did nothing, he just got plain tired of repeating the same things with you, he just got tired of your voice, he got tired of your scent, ...

“Hey Kayode” was all I could bring myself to say, he stared at me for a long time as I did he; it always was a staring game – like the ones we all grew up with; where you’d stare till the loser blinked. I held his hands and wept. I cried because I remembered how Kayode had gotten to this stage; his mother had always despised me and she had all the reason to; I was bad luck – I had to commence a monthly ritual where I snuck in to visit him and drop him flowers at the Johnson Memorial Hospital, Lekki where he had been admitted after that terrible accident that broke us up – I destroyed him with my love and I hated myself for it.             That night after my visit to the hospital, I sat and stared at the mirror, I traced my face with my little fingers as I stared blankly at the mirror, struggling hard not to cry. That old man had warned me to stay away from Kayode but I let love deceive me into momentary happiness; I traced m...

Are you thinking you are in love; here are reasons why you are actually in lust;             Lust and love have two totally different meanings; while lust is the sexual attraction you have for someone, love is a desire you cannot explain, fathom and understand. The truth nobody checks to know what love means until they lack it, lust on the other hand is something most people engage in because they seem to bask in their ignorance of the term that is love.             The average 2017 relationships follows this pattern; 1.       Couples/Friends = Friends – Close friends – Lovers –Sexual Partners – Strangers 2.       Courting/One Night Stands = Sex – Child birth – Strangers 3.       Friendships = Friends – Friends – Friends – Tired of Being Friends – Strangers 4.     ...

Its never easy getting over someone who you seem to have fallen so deeply in love with. It gets so painful most times that some even contemplate suicide and act out by causing physical and mental harm towards their significant others in a bid to get back at them for what they feel they had taken from them. With the way relationships are going presently, the idea of love is slowly beginning to fade, people who have given love have been broken by hate and lust and transformed into demons of themselves. Some look in the mirror and seem not to be able to recognise who it is they have become.     Heartbreak does the most to people. it drives them crazy, it gets them thinking, it makes them seek help in the wrong places. Before you outright tell someone who you know has loved and taken your shit for a long time, think hard and well about how shattering your love in his or her face could break them. How will he or she cry each day, few are lucky enough to be strong enough to han...

Although it is true that twitter has helped oversee fostering positive relationships, it has also done more harm than good. Twitter asides being a social site also acts as a dating site where young tweeps get to rub minds, get close and get involved; one of the pro's of this development is that relationships have grown positively and friends have turned to lovers which in turn have turned to spouses but unfortunately as usual the cons outweigh the pro's when it comes to relationships. Some people date via the app mainly because of sex, to commit fraudulent acts (rape, BDSM) on uncooperative partners and just to have NUDES!!!     I once dated a guy who after dating for about two months, he all of a sudden stopped calling me. (mind you we had not met as he stayed far away from where I did - I would say we were virtual lovers) and stopped buzzing me on any of my social media handles, I could see this guy was updating his profile everyday (mind you this guy is the definition o...

Howdy guys, today one of our genies will be shedding light on some things to consider when planning a surprise date for your significant other, here are some of the things you should consider; 1. Time You have to create a set time to go on the date, probably one feels its more sexy to head out for a beautiful date at night than during the day. You have to factor this as the most important thing to take into consideration when planning a date. 2. Distance How far away is the place you are heading to, is it far from your home or that of your significant other?. It is always best to plan ahead so as not to be taken by surprise. If possible you should go over there alone and try out the distance before embarking on your journey. 3. Partner Availability You have to know if your partner is home for you to actually surprise him or her. You can do this by calling ahead of time to know of his or her availability. 4. Money Available How much money do you have on you? This is the mo...
