Naughty wife talks: For men, nothing goes for nothing

A lady narrated what happened to her few days ago.

She said, “I was broke and had nothing at home to give to my children so I used the last money I had to transport myself to the market to see a friend for some foodstuff. I got to my destination and realized I had forgotten my phone in the vehicle. I was distraught and I couldn’t call my friend who was not in her shop. I quickly borrowed a phone from a stranger and called my line. A man picked and asked me to come to a junction to collect my phone. I had no money with me so I walked to the road and flagged down a taxi and explained to the driver that I had no money if he could lift me to the Junction. He agreed and gave me a ride to the junction. I was happy to meet a kind person this critical time, I collect my phone while the kind taxi man waited. He offered to take me back to where he picked me or my house. I gladly entered the taxi, only for the man to turn and said to me, “let us go to my house and enjoy ourselves for one or two hours.

“I was shocked. So, this kind man wasn’t so kind after all. So, I replied him calmly. “I am sorry, I do not do such thing.’
“The driver got angry and ordered me out of his taxi. I got down and started walking back wondering why it was difficult to get a kind person in this country. I didn’t wave down private cars because I thought it would be worse because they’d think I was a free woman waving down men. I waved down a taxi to show that was what I needed at that particular time. But it turned out that whether rich or poor, men are still men, the same behaviour.

“While walking and ruminating my condition, the taxi man did a U-turn and stopped beside me. He asked me to come in so that he could drop me instead of trekking. I believed he had had a change of heart and was regretting his behavior. He must have seen that I really needed help. So I entered the taxi. He dropped me at my destination and before I could come down, he turned and said to me. “Won’t you just give me some breast to touch? Just some breast to touch.”

She stopped talking because I was laughing so loud that I almost fell off my chair. It wasn’t a laughing matter, but I was laughing all the same. Imagine, “just some breast to touch.”
So, if as a woman you think that going to a poor man for help would not give him the temerity to ask you for pottorro. Na lie. Men are still men. Especially in Nigeria where they believe that nothing goes for nothing.

Please, does it mean a girl cannot walk up to a man and ask for a clean help?
As a woman, if you want to ask a man for help, just put your faith in God. That is why I prefer asking women for help. I know where I stand with them. I can deal with their petty jealousy and such. At least if a woman hates you, you would know in time and avoid her or strategise how to handle her. One of the best ways to disarm a woman is to make her believe she is more beautiful than she actually is. Just compliment her and she is all yours. No complications.

But for a man, he will be laughing and smiling with you, meanwhile he has booked a hotel with his imagination and already perusing your palomita on top of the bed, with his imagination. After wasting your time for a while, he will finally tell you his plan. By then, you are stuck.
