So many reasons can cause the end of a friendship, but some are pettier than others. These seven Nigerian women tell us the pettiest reasons why they stopped being friends with someone.
Chisom, 22
My friend and I have not spoken for two years because of fish pie. She started ignoring me in our third year in university because she felt I was hoarding fish pie during an event in my faculty and refusing to share with them. What really happened was that I was waiting for the people present at the event to reduce so my friends and I would have enough for ourselves. However, she left out of anger. One of our mutual friends tried explaining to her but she wasn’t having it. We came to school the next day, and she started ignoring me. Since I was trying to explain and she did not listen, I moved on.

I had two friends I cut off at the same time. When someone post pictures, their friends usually repost and gas them up. I always posted them and they reposted each other, but they never reposted my pictures. They never returned the energy and I felt hurt. So, I cut them off because they weren’t posting my pictures on their status, but they were reposting each other’s pictures.
Jessica, 25
My friend did not wish me a happy birthday. When I asked her why she said it was just an ordinary birthday. I was upset because she knew how important that birthday was to me. It was the first one I was celebrating since my twin sister died on our twelfth birthday.
I met a girl at a party and we got talking for a bit. We exchanged numbers and the conversation was going really well. I got to know that we were in the same school, so we made plans to hangout. We texted for just two weeks, but it felt like we had known each other forever. In the short while we had known each other, we already knew tangible information about one another. We were so open with each other and I was quite happy about the new friend I had just made.
Everything was cool until one day she asked me if I was ready for a legit hustle. I thought she was trying to improve my financial life, so I was excited. The next question she asked me was ‘how good are you?💦’. I was really taken aback by the question. I thought she was trying to pimp me out. She probably figured she had fucked up and she apologized and ‘explained’ herself but I always already irritated. I didn’t cut her off immediately, I just gradually stopped replying her messages.
Halima, 20
We stopped talking because she was always talking to me about how I dress. I don’t wear hijab but I identify as a Muslim. She kept acting like I had no right to not wear the hijab. When I told her off, she called me the devil. I deleted her number and blocked her afterwards.
Amaka, 24
I stopped talking to a male friend of mine because his face annoyed me. He was quite good looking, but he just had a smug look on his face, like he was better than everyone. It irritated the hell out of me and I always felt like throwing up while looking at his face.
Peace, 25
My four friends and I were in a clique in university. The aunt of one of the girls is a caterer, so the babe usually brought food for us to share. The only problem, was that she could only bring two pieces of meat. This faithful day, she came with jollof rice and two pieces of beef. One of the pieces of meat was bigger than the other, so we decided that three people would share that. The babe that shared the meat into three pieces shared it unequally, so two of the pieces were way bigger than the other. My other friend and I decided since she shared the meat, she would take her piece last.
She got so angry, but we didn’t listen to her. We took the two bigger pieces and left her with the smaller one. Since then, the girl and I have not been talking because I took the biggest piece of meat. Whenever people ask why we don’t speak anymore, we can’t tell them it’s because of fried beef.

Breakups can be painful, messy or even easy. But nothing is funnier than a petty breakup. We asked eight Nigerian to share the pettiest reason they’ve broken up with someone over, and their answers left us in stitches.]
Funke
He never used to tamba (clean his bum with water after using the toilet), and he refused to do it even when I told him about it. I couldn’t deal with that, abeg.
David
Every single time I sat down to play FIFA, she’d find one reason or the other to immediately interrupt me. I mean, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. She clearly didn’t like me.
Steve
She had a hugeeee head. I had never seen that kind of head in my life before. Like, it was fine until I started thinking about marriage. I couldn’t risk allowing my kids have that kind of head.
Lanre
She said Ghanaian jollof is better than Nigerian jollof. To be fair, I was already on my way out of the relationship but that was definitely the breaking point for me.
He looked almost identical to one wicked teacher that tormented me in secondary school. I tried to ignore it at first, but I couldn’t. The relationship ended after three months.
Ope
He ate too much. That one on its own wasn’t even a problem, but every time I was eating, he’d start begging for my food. Like, he’d finish his own and still beg for my own again. The thing used to frustrate me.
Faith
I didn’t like his sister. She was my senior in secondary school, and she used to punish me all the time. We broke up shortly after I found out. I didn’t want anything to do with a family that could have that kind of witch.
Anjola
When we met, he had a beautiful beard. Then on our third date, he came to pick me up with a clean-shaven face. It was like I was looking at another person. I stopped picking his calls after that date.
Are you completely vindictive, or do you know how to let things go? Well, if you take this quiz and answer honestly, we should be able to let you know exactly how petty you are. Don’t be mad at the answer you get sha.

You cannot just play with petty people anyhow, but some people just don’t get it.
In an interview with hip-hop personality, DJ Akademiks, Seyi Shay claimed Wizkid wrote Drake’s One Dance as an Afrobeat song.
And she was so sure of it and claimed the producers totally stripped the song.
Not every time form maturity, sometimes CAPSLOCK whoever it is that crossed your path. Forgiveness is for the sensible weak. In no particular order, here are 10 celebs who have been really petty:
1. Cynthia Morgan
Cynthia seems to be really good at one other thing besides being utterly annoying, clapping back! After Davido tweeted his support for Lil Kesh when he was nominated for Next Rated at the 2016 Headies, Cynthia jumped on his tweet and asked Davido to STFU. She posted a Snapchat video throwing shade and mimicking Davido after she won her own award.
She is the greatest! After Tyga dumped her for 18 year old Kylie, she went on to date Kylie’s half brother, Rob and is currently engaged to him. She has been tensioning the world with her ring since.
3. Wiz Kid
When he’s not showing off his “toys” on Instagram, he’s calling the fans who made him popular broke and poor. He’s not ashamed to fight dirty and messy on social media. And no, please don’t say his house rent has expired o, ask Linda. And because only he knows why he put “kid” in his name, he resorts to calling people smelling pussy, and shaming them for being unmarried because of ordinary amebo.
4. Calvin Harris
When your girlfriend dumps you, take back everything you ever bought her. That’s what Calvin Harris did when he and Rita Ora split. She was supposed to perform a song they had both written while they were dating at the Teen Choice Awards. However, he revoked her rights to the song just two days before her performance making her unable to sing during the Awards.
5. Mariah Carey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIB8uD3-wZ4
When she’s not showing off her high pitched voice level, she’s throwing epic shade at everybody. We don’t know what Jlo did to her oh, because Mariah has denied ever knowing her on several occasions all in the name of beef.
Curtis “50” Jackson, also known as King Petty, just never backs down from a fight. He once edited a sex tape of a woman, adding his own crude commentary to the clip before spreading it on the internet. Although that act alone cost him $6 million in a law suit, he has still dragged celebs like Meek Mill, Vivica Fox (his ex), Rick Ross, Diddy, and went as far as taunting Mayweather, calling him an illiterate. He even leaked a phone call conversation of a tearful Young Buck asking to be back on the G-Unit team.
8. Chris Brown
He’s that petty ex boyfriend that doesn’t won’t let you move on. One day, he’s calling his ex, Karrueche, untalented, the next minute he’s singing about how much he misses her. When he called Kehlani’s suicide attempt a sympathy stunt, Tinashe and a few others came for him. He didn’t even think of his few collabs with Tinashe when he wrote a petty response to her on his Instagram page.
9. Davido
Rather than sorting out his issues with his baby mama, he took the rofo rofo way out. When his baby mama, Sophie and her uncle Dele Momodu, used their connections to prevent his sister from taking their daughter out of the country, he kuku went and tweeted how he sent her 300k monthly for bearing his child and how she “took advantage” of his poor 21 year old self.
10. Kanye West
The king of pettiness himself! Is it how he kept dragging his ex Amber every chance he got? When he had beef with Wiz Khalifa, he still managed to drag her into the fight, saying Wiz wouldn’t have a child if not for him. And guess the petty cause of the fight, KK, Wiz Khalifa’s weed line. He actually thought Wiz was dragging his wife, Kim Kardashian, and that made him mad.
You people should carry on jare! The art of unlooking and maturity is too much stress whe you’re petty.
