'Babe, are you a virgin?'
'Oga, which type of virgin? Is it the Virgin Mary type? The wise virgin type? Or the foolish virgin?'
'Virginity is virginity. Why is it that when they ask you women about your virginity status you start doing somehow?'
'Somehow? Which how? Biko what is virginity?'
'It's an English word that qualifies a woman as good or bad for marriage.'
'Seriously? So virginity is a feminine word?'
'Ok, before you finish me. I accept. It is not feminine.'
'My friend, you are masculinist. I put it to you today that virginity has no gender.'
'Babe, I thought that I have already apologised?'
'Oga, to who? To me? Or to the virgins?'
'Oga! Ehen, I have a question I have been meaning to ask you.'
'Yes, I am all ears.'
'What is your worth in the Stock Market?
Have you built your house in the city?
How about the village?
Have you dug a borehole in it?
What is the size of your farmland?
Can you harvest yams?
Have you fought with 'Okonkwo' the warrior? Have you climbed palmtrees?
Have you harvested the heart of an ant?
Have you kissed a lion in your life?
When will you cross the Atlantic Ocean on foot?'
'Hian! Na wa o! Wetin be all these ones?'
'Because when they ask you men about responsibility, you will start doing somehow.'
'How exactly?'
'Like a man in the seventh trimester of his pregnancy?'
'I thought that we have settled the matter?'
'We will settle it when you reply. Are you responsible or not?'
'What is responsibility?'
'Ewooo! I thought you knew? It is a word that qualifies a man as good or bad for marriage. A man must till the soil.'
'Hian! Biko let us end the topic now.'
'Next time, when you start such topics, ask yourself if you can also end it...'
Mbok, remind me again. Virginity is to women as -------- is to men?
The earlier we start questioning 'useless' notions in this Nigeria, the better for us all o.
Seems like Nigeria is the biggest country with the biggest 'behind'. Behind in everything, even in their virginity.
Nonsense and ingredients!
