A 23-year-old Nigerian man, currently in his 400-level at a Nigerian university, has expressed his heartbreak after discovering that his girlfriend of one year and three months, whom he had dreamed of spending his life with, cheated on him with her classmate.
The emotional confession was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the man detailed his experience, revealing the pain he felt after learning about the betrayal from someone he had trusted deeply. His heartfelt post quickly gained attention, sparking widespread discussions on relationships, loyalty, and trust among young people.
In his anonymous post, he explained that he had been supportive of his girlfriend throughout their relationship, even helping her with academic challenges when she transferred to his university due to issues at her previous school. Despite her academic struggles, the man had encouraged her to succeed and worked with her to help improve her grades. He revealed that, despite their love and his efforts to help her succeed, the betrayal cut deeply, leaving him questioning the sincerity of their relationship.
The girlfriend, originally in a different university, had transferred to his school and department due to difficulties she encountered, despite being expected to be in the same academic level as him. He helped her navigate this transition, always supporting her academically and emotionally. He also noted that, despite the pressure to engage in fraudulent activities around him, he had always kept his integrity and focused on his education and future.
In his post, he vented his emotions, writing:
“I just caught my girlfriend of one year and three months cheating on me with her classmate. This is a girl I’ve dreamed of spending the rest of my life with, believing she was a saint throughout our relationship.”
“I’m 23 years old, and despite peer pressure to engage in fraudulent activities, I’ve always refused. My dad often tells me, ‘There’s a way that seems right to a man, but the end is always a big gbese’ before ending our phone calls.”
“I’m in my 400-level, and she’s in 100-level. She was supposed to be in the same year as me, but due to issues in her previous university, I helped her transfer to my school, in the same department. I pushed her academically, as I’m one of the top students, though not to brag. She’s not as academically strong, but I supported her, because I love her.”
“I’ve been following your teachings since the ASUU strike eight months ago, and I’ve been applying them. I thought I was leading her in the right direction, never using money to guide the relationship as you suggested. But this betrayal has hit me hard.”
As the post went viral, many concerned individuals flooded the comments section, offering their thoughts and support. Many offered words of encouragement, while others shared similar experiences, empathizing with his heartbreak and suggesting ways to heal. Some also provided advice about focusing on his education and future instead of dwelling on the betrayal.
