Hi Tolu, how are you today?
Mehn, I’m good good, life’s good, God is good.
So how did you meet Charles?
Charles and I met during the pandemic laughs. You know how it was now, everybody got into a situationship or relationship they knew they shouldn’t have entered, during the pandemic. 😂
We were on this group chat that had daily prayer session during the lockdown, and my friend had posted it on her status, so I just decided to join, at least, to keep myself accountable and have something doing in the lockdown.
Charles got my number from the group-chat and texted me one day. If I knew, I for don block am that day, chai.
So what was the situation like with Charles, how did your relationship kick off?
Well, it started slowly, just prayer reminders and light conversations, but like they say, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop, since both of us weren’t really doing anything during the lockdown, we started talking everyday and before we knew it, things took off into a “situation”
So you just Dey fall in love dey go Abi?
To be honest, when everything started, I thought it would be a small fling, just come and go, but we became quite serious. Few weeks in, one morning, Charles told me he had something to tell me later that night.
That night over video call, he told me God told him I was his wife.
I feel like that’s a classic line Christian brothers like to use
Omo, I didn’t know their game o.
Anyway, me I had already fallen for him nah so when he told me God said I was his wife, I was happy ehn. Me that I’ve seen shege with men, I was like, na my final bus stop be this.
So what happened then?
We officially started dating and even went past the lockdown season, but shortly after, like a month after lockdown, I noticed some change in his behavior.
Like what?
He started delaying with replies, calling reduced and he was just acting funny. At first I thought, maybe it was just the back to work thing and people were just adjusting, but then it persisted for like two months and then I had to put it in the table, like Oga, wetin sup?
What happened then?
At first, he was denying it and saying it was just work and all, but later, he started saying he wasn’t really feeling it again and he had a dream and I wasn’t his wife and he just felt we were not to be together.
So what about the whole God said kini?
Mehn, men can change mouth o.
When I asked him about that, he just waved it out and said maybe God had changed His mind and gave one funny scripture as back up, I think it was Exodus 32:14.
It was that day I realized that the worst men are the ones that try to christianize their wickedness.
Three weeks later, I heard he was dating someone else.
