You should stop hating women, young padwan.

I don't hate women, just tolerating them, because somehow no man can do without a woman.

But don't loose guard.

Actually you do. I can't convince you not to hate women though. But one day, you will wake up from the red pill.

Red pill does not exist. However, humans are evil. Hating them won't do you much good.

TBH girls who turned down bigger proposals just to stick with the one they loved are entitled to make this comment

But girls who didn't have any choices are not entitled to make the comment.

“I was with him when he was drinking garri.”
But na you buy the garri? 🤨


Let’s unpack this mindset that’s becoming very common in our generation.


🧠 The “Loyalty” Women Talk About Today is Not Real

Many women love to say they were there when you had nothing.
But truth is, a lot of them were just witnesses, not builders.

They didn’t help.
They didn’t invest.
They didn’t even believe in you—they were just hoping for a return on their emotional “time.”

It’s all about positioning themselves for the future harvest without ever planting seeds.


📌 Presence ≠ Participation

There’s a clear difference between being present and being useful.

Ask yourself:

Did she contribute to your hustle?

Did she with money, ideas, motivation?

Or did she just sit there… waiting?


Too many women want to claim royalty status for just hanging around during your broke phase.


💭 Real Loyalty is Silent

The girl who actually bought the garri isn’t the one tweeting.
She’s the one you when you finally blow—because she didn’t make noise, she made impact.

Loyalty is:

Showing up consistently.

Investing (not just emotionally, but tangibly).

Praying, planning, building with you.


But most of what you see now is emotional blackmail masked as .


⚠️ Men, Stop Rewarding ive Loyalty

Your success is not community property.
If she didn’t grind with you, she shouldn’t reap with you.

Let’s break it down clearly:

If What She Did is to make you feel Encouraged, ed, sacrificed then sje deserves Respect & loyalty
If What She Did is Invested in your dream then What She Deserves is Return on value
But if she Complained, watched, tolerated you then she deserves Nothing but silence 😐


💬 Final Thoughts

Let this sink in:

🧾 Presence without contribution is just observation.
And observers don’t get trophies.

So next time a woman says, “I was with you when you were drinking garri”, calmly ask:

“Did you buy am for me?”

Because sitting on the sideline doesn't make you a teammate.

What do y’all think?
Have you experienced this?

Very simple man



quote author=Wananonly post=135561657]The garri was all he had to offer her and she stayed bro. Giving him cooking and cleaning and doggy and monkey. Whereas people were who would have given her more if she followed them.

She didn't buy the garri but what she sacrificed was 10x more.

It’s the game some ladies play. Why staying with you because one baba have told them that you have a bright future, they will still be doing side hustle which is hookup. I know so many of them like that and the funny part is that, even now that the guy is made, they still Bleep some other men codedly

The only wrong thing you added was the "doggy"

Sex is not something given
Neither is it a gift
That framework is what have made Nigerian men reason like dummies

A good woman who was with you when you had nothing gives inspiration, encouragements, prayers (for those who believe in it) and the likes

She didn't have a better option.
Women knows where their bread is most buttered.
She ain't with him because of love, she was there because that's her best long-term option.

Gbam! Even the Bible did not command women to love their hubby. No love from that side. Bible only says women should obey their hubby.

Even Eve could not love or obey Adam in Eden.

So who be us to expect woman's love?

Women dey play coupon. Perm 3 from 5. The Garri talk na format. Na big scam. cheesy grin

You say a man's role is to provide,
And a woman's is to care for the family.

Rich or poor, many women show up and fulfil their part.
Guess who often can’t meet their own “traditional” duty? Men.

So to every champion of gender roles:
You can’t marry a woman and then sit around eating garri she most likely prepared or even feed it.

I did all the above...was loyal,gave money,advice, everything I had. Would even share money people dashed me with him. I was so open. Helped him apply for jobs,talked to pple on his behalf,prayed for him etc...what did I get after he started seeing small cash (which is still as a result of my effort o). He said and I quote " I never forced you to help me". This life ,never help an ingrate who is also e titled.

What she meant was, “When so many peoples left you when you were drinking Garri i was there with you”

“When you were drinking Garri I could have gone to date other men and left you but i stayed, not to buy the Garri o but to watch you drink the garri and maybe drink out of it too.”

Women too get sense!

In some cases as a lady, you can buy the
garri, the groundnut, sugar, coconut, milk, cold water, and add fish ontop. Yet, an ungrateful man will still leave you when he becomes better. This goes both ways too!

At all... If ur eyes are truly open U will see the real reason and motive behind her staying there. She was definitely gaining a lot but U probably didn't know what it was.

What was she gaining when the guy didn't have much to offer in the first place? Waste of time?

Most women are s and will use U even when U are at Ur lowest and some of us men think they're being loyal staying when no one else was available lol baba check am well the real reason for her staying isn't to ur benefit but hers

Thankfully, sensible ladies don't do that.
They just patiently wait for y'all to blow, then come for them, while they build themselves in the meantime.
And come for them, you all will eventually.
You have no choice.

Kudos to the ones that are holding fort though.
