I Wish Someone Had Told Me...Part 5

This is from the angle of a prospectively single and working-class lady.







I wish someone had told me that:

1. Loosing your virginity before marriage is not a guarantee that the guy you loose it to will marry you. Some guys will tell you so many sweet lies and you will only believe them if you are a novice.

2. If you are not married before 30, family members will start thinking it's spiritual and start telling you to go for deliverance to break the yoke of delayed marriage. (Majority of them will recommend MFM)

3. Your married female friends will stop being friends with you as soon as they are married. You will just seem like bad egg all of a sudden and honestly, this makes you feel more pathetic for your already pathetic self.

4. It's very depressing when your younger siblings/cousins/nieces/nephews are getting married and you can't attend because of the shame of been confronted with people asking what's wrong with you and why you are still single.

5. I would get my heart broken a lot when i start dating. It would have prepared me better if i knew this earlier.

6. I would value the NYSC allowance i used to receive Immediately after youths service, when i was without a job. We used to call the allowance "chicken change" but after youths service that i was without a job, i began to wish i had saved my "chicken change" for life after service without a job (I lavished my NYSC allowances on nonsense).

7. Living alone as a single lady [even though you have a honest means of living] passes a wrong signal about you to people around you: no matter how good of a person you are.

8. If you live alone as a single lady, guys who will come your way will barely shower you with any gift as they believe you are doing just fine. They will never cease to call you "big girl". Even if you are dying, they will expect you as the supposed big girl to resurrect yourself.

9. If you have a female colleague or friend who is into "runs", don't try to talk them out of it. You will be seen as a "hater" or a jealous person. People into runs never want to hear the truth. As long as you don't flaunt the hotel lobby, designers hand bags and exotic flight trips they do on bbm/instagram, you are a hater.

10. In the course of my employment hunt, i would get a lot of sexual advances from men in return for a good job.

11. If you live alone as a single lady, people (neighbours especially) will come around you a lot to borrow money. Some will even expect you to "dash" them like you don't have your own responsibilities and expenses.

12. As a single lady, you can't go to the club, bars or lounges on your own without been seen as a prostitute or a lady hoping for some guys to approach her.

13. You can't tell a guy you are bored. He will take you out, get rid of the boredom for you and expect you to follow him home to pay him back in kind. In fact, the ones who take you out are very kind. Majority will tell you to come over to their house, so they can have sex with you.

      I wish some one had told me not to invest so much in any relationship cause everything comes to an end.

      I wish someone had told me to save.

    13. Seriously all this I wish I wish is only making us slaves to our past. And will only slow one down moving forward.

      Let's be sincere with ourselves, most teenagers don't believe what you tell them, when they start dating and falling in love, you caution them, tell them all the dangers of falling in love and dating at an early age, they never believe you, they'll never Listen.
      You as someone who's advanced in age and experience you try to guild them, but their youthful arrogance will not allow them take Your advice.

      Same goes for all of us when we're much younger, if we'd been told all we're wishing someone had told us before now, we wouldn't have listened, if we'd been told all the dangers of dating, the challenges of marriage, the dangers of falling in love, especially to the wrong guys or girl, if someone more experienced and probably advanced in age had seen a danger sign in a particular guy or girl and warned us, we wouldn't have listened because we're so young, inexperienced, naive and are in love, we think love is so sweet, and will continue like that, we'll never believe it gets sour at some point, and we'll think life and marriage is a bed of roses, If we'd been told to get married to that guy or that girl back then, because he/she is Good, we would have refused thinking otherwise.

      So all that we're wishing isn't necessary, because, most times we need some experience to become wise, because we humans are stubborn and imperfect. A perfect example is this;
      We all have younger ones and some of us here have kids, some will have kids someday, tell them all there is to life, the does and don't of dating and marriage, 80% of those times they'll not listen. That's life for you, it will continue like that till time indefinite.
      All we have to do is move on, and try to make a better life, and stop being slaves to our past, stop worshipping them by always reminding ourselves with I wish I wish because they'll slow us down.

    18. Stella,thanks for this post..I think I've been waiting subconsciously. .
      Where do I start...
      I wish I knew that I needed to be careful of who I trust. I was so stupid to trust my brother who took advantage and duped me of 1 million naira.. money isn't everything but...
      I wish I wasn't so naive to believe that just cos you're related to someone by blood then they'll have your back always.. The only person I feel for is my parents who will be sad to see their children growing apart...
      I wish I didn't waste any time trying to make people like me, people will always judge no matter what...I'm glad I'm way past that now, I'm now a strong advocate for being ones self, I mean,why try to be someone else when there is beauty and uniqueness in being yourself, and you'd still get judged anyway..
      I wish I didn't worry so much, several years of worry and look at me, still encountering stuff I worried about
      I wish I knew that as one grows up, you will be snubbed by former friends cos you aren't in same class as them..
      Wish I knew that my old relationship was going nowhere earlier on and left a long time ago..3 years is too long to be with Mr 'not the one'
      In all I'm grateful for those experiences as they'd never repeat themselves again,
      In all I'm loving life and excited to see how this journey will be.

    19. I wish someone had told me that I will still be single till now.that what I thought was relationship was actually stupidity.
      I never dreamt of being single till now.
      I wish had known that being a good girl does not pay,all my girlfriends who were serious runs babe are now married with kids,the worst of them all even married a pastor but the exemplary good girl remains unmarried.
      It's never good to be a good girl.
      Good please come to my rescue and bless me with a helpmate. Am tired of peeps asking me "when are we eating rice".
      I wish I had known,I just wished...........

    1. We humans are so forgetful. Most times even if someone had told us, we will still go ahead and do what we feel we want to do and damn d consequences.

      And when d consequences come calling we run around whipping up sentiments and looking for solutions when we should have easily averted them if only we had listened...

      Everything we need to guide our path in this life has been given to us in God's Word. The Bible is d manual for life.

    2. Single girl living alone, and in Abuja... that was d story of my life. people will hate you for no reason, especially older women, guys will feel they can call you out @ anytime, come to pay a visit @ anytime, or you can sleep out of your house cos you are a "big girl" smh. I had to start telling people I was living with family abeg. I no fit shout. As for the breakup and stuff, Nne move on. Life is all about gambling. Relationship is a gamble as well. It either works out or it doesn't. You may have had it worst in marriage. As for the virginity thingy, never keep it cos you want to please your husband. Mbanu. Keep it for your PRIDE and for your GOD.

      I wish someone had told me that getting a good job is not about how brilliant you are or how high your CGPA is.

      I wish people can learn to be contented with what they have and not envy others.

      I wish I knew that colleagues at work can turn themselves into your mortal enemy all because they thought you are doing better than them.

      I wish someone told me to be careful about spending because money is not easy to get.

      I wish I am not so emotional. I wish I dated guys for money so that I don't lose at both ends.

      I wish I can find love again. I will cherish it so much.

      I wish someone had informed me that serving God early in life guarantees rest later in life.

  8. Thank God for this post. I wish someone told me love will hurt you the same way it makes you feel good. I wish someone had told me that a guy can change overnight. I wish someone can tell me if I'm being used just for relocation purpose. I wish my parents would just allow me marry an old white man who is rich and loves me (my intial plan). I wish someone told me that over independence is a bad thing. I wish someone told me everyone will greet me with the marriage topic as if it's good morning.

    I lost my virginity in a very bizarre way. I don't even have any experience of what it means to loose it. I see Virginity as a myth. If I have a daughter tomorrow I will ask her how it feels.

  16. See me see 8 and 11. I don suffer, I don tire. Food I never see chop married neighbours would be asking me to give them money for soup that their husband is broke. I sat and thought to myself, what is this? Honestly its suicidal. As for dating I don't even allow male visitors into my house since 1904 except I have been convinced of your sincerity towards me. But still they won't see the hustling and strugling you, they see you as one biggest girl. If they knew that that outlook is nothing but God's grace, am dying inside.

  17. I'll start with Number 9, as this happened to me..but i think it was a test or trial thing. My interviewer called me after my interview to express his interest, but I didn't give. I got the job, and he acts like nothing of such happened. He's a Director in my firm, & I report directly to him. But, he has never attempted any of those sexual harassment thing. I have never had problems with him as regards my official duties/responsibilities. So my dear ladies, carry yourself well. Men sense it when you act vulnerable, and they'll try to take advantage of it.

    NYSC allowee..i didn't spend mine anyhow. Infact, I was sending part of it home cos of responsibilities. My state(Enugu) allowee was 10k, so i sent that and had my Federal allowee to myself and for saving. I tried to engage in order things to fetch me cash, so after service I had a little to use to settle down. Cos i resumed work immediately after NYSC. To save yourself from been stranded after service, do not wait till u pass out before applying for jobs. Start applying aggressively for jobs like 4-6months before your POP. they'll know you're serious and those who will help will help. You also have to show ur worth. Improve urself during that one year. it isn't just for fun.

    As a single lady, do not wait for anyone to validate your existence. Improve, live ur life & just do ur thing. Carry urself well, and u'll attract good pple. As for friends, know that the higher u go, the number drops. ur life will revolve more around colleagues & acquaintances. Don't get carried away or depend too much on any of them. Those who want u in their life will stay. If marriage changes them, just mind ur business & keep moving. Get busy improving & loving ur life. things will fall in place with time.

  26. Hian ooo so dis tin finally reach part 5.

    OK na!
    I wished some one warned me more, about enjoying my childhood.
    Damn! Adulthood is way too serious.
    D moment I clocked 18, my father called me n said, pinkshell, u just attained d age were u get to tk responsibilities for all ur actions.
    But nobody warned me childhood wld be so short n dat I needed to enjoy d moment to it fullest.

    I wishd I don't worry too much abt my future.
    I worry too much abt finances.
    I worry abt death of friends n loved ones, it can get so real to me, dat sometimes tears well up in my eyes.

    I wish I don't worry too much abt bearing kids for d wrong man, I tell myself pinkshell u can't afford to make dat mistake.
    U can't deny ur children dis luxury.
    I wish i ddnt worry so much abt money, I plan to have kids I can single handedly takia of.

    I wish i ddnt worry so much abt my future life partner dying half way tru our marriage n leaving me to do everytin all alone.
    I don't want to Eva do anytin we statd togeda, alone, I rada die 1st n protect him n my kids frm up dere, Dan raise my kids alone.

    I wish I av enuf courage to mk decisions abt a life partner and stop giving d non chalant attitude.
    I wishd so many good tins in my life right now happend earlier, cos it feels like time is short n dia are so many goals to be achieved.
    But God dey sha.
    I wish I cld just breathe n relax n enjoy life more.
    I wish I can let go, n let God.

  30. Who says you can't club alone as a single girl? I club a lot and I honestly don't care what some folks think about me. I came to enjoy and enjoy I must. Just last week Friday, one nonentity sent someone to give me a complimentary card and on the back of the card, he wrote, come home with me and I'd pay you N100,000. Immediately, I tore the card and gave the servant the shreds. It's all about standards and determination. Even married women get sex advances, but that won't stop them from being married and faithful to their husbands na. So, because some non entities will have a dirty mind, I won't have fun abi? Damn them.
    It's only those who want to be pressured will be pressured as a single lady. My mum already sees me as a rebel in this regard. She has recommended all sorts of deliverance, but honestly, I don't care. If I get married, all well and good, if not, all well and good. Abi, no be these men whose priority is just to have sex with you? Abeg, make I hear word.

    His talking about marriage
    Asking me many things about marriage
    Planning about marriage
    But I still want more than that.


    I want him to ask me questions with an engagement ring.


    Please how to get an engagement ring this month.

Madame please be confident in yourself and let yourself know that any man you meet will be lucky to have you and marry you. Drop a hint darling ' if he wants it let him put a ring on it'

  38. I relate a lot to the points listed above as a 32yr old single lady. I'm doing very well financially but relationships i have had bad luck with men. In my early 20s I had a lot of guys on my case bcos I am beautiful with a good character, dou shy. A lot of dese guys I dismissed dem thinking I could find better, now they are all married and doing well. I waisted my 20s in two longgg fruitless relatnshps that led to nothing. Just becos they were rich and I saw odAs as small boys. Never gave this oda guys a chance to even know them, I just didn't feel dat spark sef. But now I'm older I know you can learn to love. 1st thing is to give d guy a chance. I'm also slowly realising that my married friends have started being distant from me. D once we still see, I can see d pity in dere eyes. Always telling me it is well. Meanwhile I am more beUtiful than most of dem and even richer, but dey feel they are better than me because they are married with kids. Even family same thing, some small cousins dat use to cum and collect used clothes from me, bcos they are married with kids dere better. Rite now I've cut off from some family and friends. Anyone dat wld bring negativity to my life I don't just need them. Since my last breakup which wAs bad cos I thot it's my final bus stop, I've just surrendered everything to GOd. The guys have met since den feel dyer doing me a favor. One we dated for a short period. Will call whenever he feels like, when I say u don't call me regularly. He says I'm complaining bcos no word from him in 2days. Dat I can start complying maybe if I don't hear from me for 1mth. He's Neva bout me nada, doesn't behave like he cares. So I walked, after my friend asked. Can you name 1 particular thing you gain by being in dis rltshp. Couldnt even say companionship bcos d guy isn't there for me. Sometimes can see him maybe 4/5 times in a month. I won't give up, God will make a way.

  39. Chai, being a single lady in Africa is hard. Pressure from left, right, front and centre. Even if you do not feel pressured to marry, society will want to push you. Thumbs up to all the single ladies out there making strides in their careers and keeping their heads high.

  41. Anon 14:43, do you know men smell desperation from afar and they use it to their advantage? You're 35, so what? I know exactly how you feel, but honey, it isn't the end of the world. Instead of being so worried, why don't you freeze your eggs and when the right man comes, you'd have no problem getting pregnant. I say this because I know having kids is what you're worried about abi? My dear, do not stop living all in a bid to get married. Enjoy

    Do not settle. You already don't feel good about this. Try not to put yourself in any kind of torture for the rest of your life, so you don't end up married and yearning so desperately for 'Dotun'. This might sound like everything you've heard before but do you really want to be 35 and not get it right still?
    It's a good thing you pray. God never forsakes His own. I hope very soon you'll smile, remember this comment and see why God took His time to answer you.
    Be cheerful

    forget all those nonsense things you see people propose in the road, under water inside shoprite etc. life isn't really about such niceties. it is not the romantic gestures that make marriages; it is the amount of chemistry deep within the respective DNAs of a couple that matters.

    What if you get an engagement ring and nothing else comes for years? Will it not suit you better if as he is talking marriage, you practicalize things and get married?

    Get real, forget niceties
