DarkDiva, Road Trip and Suitors

Wafgidi Noni. I dey Warri.

I came in yesterday and I have to narrate the experience because something stood out for me, the thought of suitor/boyfriend/toaster.

At 7am, I was at the park to get a ticket and a bus. If you are wondering why I didn’t fly, it’s because I weighed my pocket Arik is the only airline that goes to Warri from Abuja and they don’t have weekend flights, FULLSTOP

I had some calls before the bus moved and the 1st friend I talked to asked, “what kind of people were in the bus, old or young? I didn’t see the need for the question but I just sha answer am say na young peeps.

Friend number 2 said, “any fine guy for the bus? You know say you be fine girl o! make they nor over toast you so just squeeze your face like deeper life”. I laughed and replied, “toasting is allowed, greeing is what you take under consideration”. Then my friend said, “sharp babe you know say Lokoja(the stop along the way where lots of stuffs are sold) dey front why you nor go talk say toasting is allowed”. lol

These two questions got me thinking, then it dawned on me. One wise person that I don’t know originated the quote “you can meet your future husband any where”. So that was it. My friends wanted to know if there were prospects in the bus. No prospects but I made some female friends, it was a very long trip and one thing with long trips is that you find yourself gisting with your fellow passengers which is fun.

I love traveling a lot whether by air, land or maybe someday sea but the best form of traveling is traveling with friends or family even if na the same okada two of una enter it’s still fun.

My best road trip is my previous trip back to Abuja with my senior friend/sister, Onome my DarkDiva. I, Onome, and another friend of ours, Onos were seated at the back of the Sienna vehicle. In front of us was a couple then the front-front part, a lady in the passenger seat and the driver.

Whenever you have girls, you have a constant G, where G = Gist. We gisted nor be small. From how there is an alleged crime of girls been drugged, one of their kidneys stolen and abandon in a hospital#kidneygiststillunderconfirmation# to how our mumsy prepare us to be suitor ready/wife material with house chores e.g pounding of banga.

Somewhere along the line, the couple joined in the discussion and they gave us their own gist about how they met, the husband was the guy all the girls flocked around, she was the sharp patient girlfriend turn wife and today they are still kicking it strong celebrating 20 years of marriage. They also gave us some suitor advice and some other advice like don’t bleach, play safe etc… The husband was a doctor so these were gidigba(strong) advice backed up with facts.

The most amazing part of this trip was watching the couple play love in Tokyo. The wife said “honey please massage my feet” and stretched out her legs for him. The husband obliged and said “this is why I paid for the whole middle seats, I really wanted her to be comfortable”. I, Onome and Onos were like “awww……see love o”.

Still on the trip, they gave us another love act.
Hubby: “You know even with all those many girlfriends back then, it’s been you I loved and always wanted to marry”
Wife: “I know but now you don’t say it often”.
Wife to Us: “I don’t know why he doesn’t say it o. My husband believes that I already know so there is no need for it to be said”
Hubby: “Ok, I LOVE YOU” (shey you see the way I typed I love you in caps na because the guy really emphasized it)
Us, 3 ladies of the backseat : Screaming! Shouting! Hailing!

That’s the way this couple were giving us scenes from their love movie then we had a flat tire so it had to be changed. When the change was done, I was struggling to open the door to enter and the hubby came up to me, “No!!! you are a lady don’t do that, please let me open the door for you”

Us, 3 ladies of the backseat : Screaming! Shouting! “Dr. B, please do you have a brother?”.

Yes o, we asked. The Statistic Department of Relation Gist Institute states that ‘the number of guys of this generation that open door for ladies is close to minus zero point something (-0….)’, so were amazed and just had to ask.

My eyes didn’t blink at all, as in sleep didn’t come knocking through out the trip.

In the spirit of BBM update, we took some pictures for DP before the journey began


Since it was an early mor-mor trip, I just packed my hair with no makeup ready to hit the road but Photographer Onos say make I free my hair say this simple look nor enter for Dp o.

So I let my hair lose


we shared a joke

and finally found the Perfect DP



I have been doing DarkDiva since, I think I should give you guys our brief history. I met her when I was 5years old, my family moved to the neighborhood and she gave me coconut candy since then I have been stuck on love with her. I’m still suspecting that she jazzed that candy o because I love her bad and she is older than me well but we have a strong bond and again she was my brother’s would I say first love*thinking* she was my brother’s ex girlfriend from secondary school.

That time there was no GSM. Na me be the GSM, na me they go send go call her, na me go call with landline say I want to talk to Onome and hand the phone over to my bro when she answers all this was so that her parents nor go code. Everybody still coded at the end even my parents sef.

Some years later, the love ended and the fact that there was no disconnection or anything was really good, our relationship wasn’t affected. We are still close, she and my brother they are like BFF. I tell both of them that it would make sense if they marry, they would say “abeg e, we know ourselves we are good as close friends”.

I just like their combo sha but whether they marry or nor marry themselves it’s non of my business na my own marriage go be my business and they would both remain my brother and sister in whom I love so much.

  
This picture was taken some 4-5years ago and that’s still like 5years after their breakup. I like this particular pic, I don’t know why. Whether it’s because of Onome’s smile or the back of my brother’s head, dunno #confused#

I have put up my bro before on the blog, somewhere in the post ‘The Match Story’, if you want to see him click HERE

Ok, now I sign off and run away because two friends are going to kill me, hahahahahaha.

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.
