A Nigerian lawyer has gone viral on social media after sharing the story of his most devastating heartbreak, which involved losing his girlfriend to a man she once dismissed as “just a common tailor.”
The lawyer, who uses the handle @egi_nupe___ on X (formerly Twitter), recalled how his then-girlfriend assured him that the tailor showing interest in her was not a threat. According to him, she brushed off his concerns, describing the man as “just a tailor disturbing me.”
However, in an unexpected twist, the same tailor later impregnated her and eventually married her.
“He later impregnated her and they are now married,” the lawyer revealed, adding laughing emojis to highlight the bitter irony of the situation.
A Lie That Broke Him
When asked about the biggest lie he had ever been told, the lawyer responded by quoting her words:
“He’s just a common tailor that’s disturbing me.”
The heartbreak, he said, left him so distraught that he almost harmed himself at the time.
“Lmao, I was! But it no reach the heartbreak wey I chop in 2013. I nearly drank Izal,” he admitted, referring to a household disinfectant.
Social Media Reactions
His confession quickly attracted a flood of comments on X, with many users sharing their thoughts, ranging from sympathy to humor.
@Nefisah001 questioned the narrative:
“Soo..did she lie? Was he not a tailor or are tailors not common?”
@Fluow88adinsin shared his own stance on heartbreaks:
“Nah inside dating pool since 2010 that I decided that no woman I am dating or wife is ever going to give me a heartbreak again.”
@YakubTijani2 reflected on women’s decisiveness:
“They are naturally and effortlessly ruthless in decision-making. Once they are ready to do something, they don’t care about your feelings.”
Some commenters found humor in the situation. @DayoFatoke compared it to other similar stories:
“He is just my church minister who provides me with counseling, encourages my spiritual growth, and we also work together. They are now married with three children.”
@bhurteee offered relationship advice:
“I dey feel am on yr behalf 🤣🤣. Whenever you hear a woman say someone’s disturbing her, be patient and observant. Except the guy’s a perv or a stalker, trust me, he was allowed. Some women enjoy the chase (even as prey) more than the predator.”
Others, like @BlakMarius, joked about the irony:
“You worry too we re just doing podcast interviews together 😂😂😂😂 baba was the main dude.”
Meanwhile, @gozie_omo_oba teased the lawyer:
“This lawyer na Og oh, you run things with babes well oh, and this lamba na Og fit sabi.”
