  • 7 Ways To Consensually Join Other People’s Relationships

    Joining loving and functioning relationships takes the burden off you to build one by yourself. Here are a few ways to consensually join other people’s loving and functioning relationships.

    1. Become besties with one of them.

    Emphasis on besties and nothing more. The aim of becoming besties with one of them is so your name can come up in conversations a lot of times. That way, your name gets stuck in the consciousness of the other partner. Step 1 – done and dusted.

    2. Make a playlist for your bestie.

    Make sure your playlist taps enough for them to share it with their partner (your future second lover). Music apps always come through when making a playlist, all you need to do is start with one solid song.

    3. Buy some food for the male lover.

    Everyone knows that Nigerian men love food more than anything else in this life. Make sure you buy the food for him. Do not cook for any grown man so he won’t expect you to do the same when you eventually join their relationship.

    4. Never come off too strong.

    You are trying to consensually join their relationship not appear like a desperado. Enjoy being friends with them, take it as the talking stage. Do not do more than yourself.

    5. Go to a fortuneteller’s place.

    Yes, fortune-teller, not babalawo. We are recommending a fortune-teller and not a babalawo so you won’t get carried away and ask the babalawo for jazz. Whatever the fortune teller says is what you should listen to.

    6. Pray about it.

    You can pray to whatever god you believe in. Making space for yourself in other people’s relationships require forces more than yourself. The only time joining other’s people’s relationships doesn’t require work is when a Nigerian man adds you to his marriage without letting his wife know.

    7. Tell them that you want to be part of their relationship.

    Summon courage and audacity from 20 Nigerian men, that should be enough to help you through this stage. Let them know the advantage of you joining their relationship. You guys won’t be the first throuple and won’t be the last either.

    Please note: If you take our advice, whatever your eyes see, just take it like that. Let it not be like we didn’t warn you.

  • Are women better than men at facing rejection?

    When Twitter user @Tha_Mentalist theorized that there are women who find it difficult to accept rejection, I thought, ‘naw, for real?’

    So he posted a Twitter challenge to test this:

    A simple invitation: come tell a story, guys, of a time you rejected a woman’s sexual advances and her reaction afterwards.

    This has to be good!

    giphy.gif Gosh. Just look at the comments!

    Pressing Iron + Boxers = Invitation to Party?

    “If you cannot play the game, surely you must be gay (for shame!)”

    If you cannot smash the man, smash a mirror

  • 9 Times Nigerians Explained Consent Following Kemen’s Sexual Assault Case On Big Brother Naija
    On March 5, 2017,  Kermit Kemen, a contestant of the on-going Big Brother Naija, was rightfully disgraced and kicked out of the show, for sexually assaulting Tboss, another contestant, while she was asleep, and probably passed out after having a few drinks.

    Thanks to social media, the video clip of him assaulting Boss quickly spread and he was immediately given the boot, to obviously pass the message across that sexual assault is unacceptable on the show.

    As expected, Kemen’s evictions sparked an important conversation and because many Nigerians are unfortunately, yet to understand how concept really works, people on Twitter took it upon themselves to share a few tips:

    1. For the people that don’t understand ‘No means No’.

    2. Silence is not consent!

    3. A woman’s body is not an open invitation for sex.

    4. Religious leaders and organisations ought to teach their congregation the concept of consent.

    5. Bellanaija’s take on the gist

    6. Omojuwa choked his mouth in the matter too.

    7. Can we all just be like this young boy?

    8. This hilarious but apt explanation of consent.

    9. Consent also applies to sex workers.
