A Nigerian man named Emeka took to Twitter to share his heartbreaking experience with long-distance relationships. He narrated how he sent a cake to his girlfriend's office to surprise her on her birthday, but the surprise eventually turned out to be on him. According to Emeka, his girlfriend ended up sharing the cake with her office boyfriend and eventually left him to marry the same colleague. This experience was the reason why he strongly believed that long-distance relationships cannot work.
Emeka's story came as a response to a tweet from another Twitter user who had suggested that long-distance relationships only had bad PR. But Emeka's experience seemed to prove otherwise, and he did not hold back in expressing his frustration with the concept of long-distance relationships.
He tweeted, "Long distance that I sent surprise birthday cake to at her office that she ate with office boyfriend who she’s married to today? Don’t get on my last nerves."
The tweet quickly gained traction on social media, with many users sympathizing with Emeka and sharing their own stories of long-distance relationships gone wrong. Some users, however, argued that Emeka's experience was not necessarily representative of all long-distance relationships, and that there were many successful long-distance relationships out there.

Pele Mr Emeka😂😂" @introvertedife added, "My ex is based in Europe, he came home so I did a frame for him, the frame was delivered to him anonymously, Guy Man posted the frame on his IG hyping anoda lady, perhaps he thought it came from her, that when I realized that I was the side chick."
