O.R.R (Old, Rich and Ready)

While at the gym during  one faithful Tuesday evening trying to get in shape for the ladies (loll for my mind). I saw a missed call from  my good friend Tonia, after carrying some arm curl weight; I decided to ring her back. Now Tonia is one of my close female friends that can talk for Africa on the phone (Thanks to Lyca to Lyca free call). The funniest thing is that sometimes I try to rush her and give her some little lie just to end some conversation whenever I notice it is about entering something else. Tonia this time around called me to complain about her on and off boyfriend who according to her have decided not to grow up at his age (Nna on several occasion I don ask this babe make she explain what she meant by growing up but still up to now no sensible reason). Tonia and her boyfriend Chike met last two months and within that period I can remember vividly well how she will call me in the middle of the night (Skype join and Face time) smiling how she don meet the perfect boyfriend. Nwa guy got pissed off one night and told her not to bother me with all her love story since she decided to spoil the sweet smooth runs that was about to evolve between me and her flat mate shade (I almost smacked her head for wetin she do). Well two weeks after meeting Chike this babe moved into the boy’s flat, turned into his full time wife ooo to the extent of cooking various type of food for the Chike boy. In fact one Saturday evening this babe sent me a picture of a well-prepared Jellof rice and assorted meat she prepared for the boy. As I see the pic, I vex sharply, unto say since I sabi this babe she never prepare this kind food for me to chaw (Loll).

Two months after moving into chike’s flat, the nwa boy started acting strange to the extent that both of them started having some little quarrel here and there.  To my surprise this babe that was always talking sweet things about her Chike, in her sentence: “Nothing can come between me and my Chike” suddenly started talking bad about the Chike guy so tey me come confuse sef each time I ask her and ask her after “her Chike”.  Few weeks after there one very big cat and dog fight the babe made me to understand that the reason for the sudden HATE on the dude is because the guy at his age does not behave maturely, does not know his right from his left and still a small boy (This chike guy na twenty eight years old guy o). Because Tonia had so much expectation from the guy at least since to her he is already in the age bracket of thinking about how to plan his life but the Chike guy does not want to marry or even settle down in three years coming. But she no won even understand say the guy no even get work yet (I no just understand babes of nowadays sha like tonia).

At this moment Tonia and I have being on the phone for close to one hour  and nwa guy trying to tell the babe say make she give me space do wetin I come do na, before I could say JACK ROBINSON she brings in the story about a friend of her’s who I also know called Olivia. In her voice: Olivia is engaged ooo and from my end I could feel the excitement. When I asked how she knew, she responded that the babe just posted the pictures of the proposal and ring with so so carat of diamond ring on her IG page (There is God ooo sha). At this moment my attention was drawn to an advert showing in the television inside the gym and the next thing I heard from tonia is  “you can go to her Instagram page and check”. With vex say she don keep out from the arm curl wey I dey do pull for gym, I come ask her abeg wetin concern me and Olivia with her engagement story na because the last time I checked there was no sacrament bonding me and this babe that will make me go to her Instagram page to check for picture like say I no get work to do.  However, what dragged my ear and attention was when tonia mentioned that the guy that proposed to her is forty years of old and the babe is twenty five years but that the man hold plenty money. The next thing tonia responded was that this kind of love is called O.R. R (Old Rich and Ready). But the last time I checked the Olivia babe family hold pepper (Money), so why go for an O.R.R then. To her it is better to be with an O.R. R than be with the like of Chike, who at his age does not really know his left from his right yet (Nna mehn this guy don suffer sha) and moreover the dude is matured not a kid.   

After our conversation I started asking myself how many babes presently prefer them O.R.R according to tonia instead of the normal norm of building a home as a young married during the days of our parents. Even though I put up a positive thought that not all girls will be like Olivia, if so why are the always young couples getting married and being featured on bellanaija.com (unless say those dudes be forty years old dudes).
