My most embarrassing moment was the day my ex- boyfriend chased me with his car in Oluyole at Ibadan. I and my ex-boyfriend broke up last year because I met someone else who was better than him financially. I was just walking by the roadside one Friday when I saw that a car was moving too close to me. I started running away from the road but the car still followed. I flung my slippers and ran faster but this car won’t stop. He later parked and came down of the car with his friend. They were laughing while I was breathing heavily. I sent him curses via SMS later that day before I blocked him again.

I went to my friend’s wedding with my new girlfriend last year. I introduced her to all my friends which was something I later regretted. The groom’s friends were called to dance with him and spray him money. On the dance floor, I saw my girlfriend picking the money we were spraying, in fact, she was so focused. I tried communicating with her with all kinds of body language to stop embarrassing me. Sadly, she kept jumping around as the money was flying and was sweating profusely. She came to me and dumped some of the money she picked inside my pocket because her bag was full which got me extremely pissed. My other friends noticed and I had no choice but to leave the dance floor. That day was the last day I talked to her.

I had just finished buying food at a restaurant and a small boy approached me to beg for money. I gave him the 100 naira that I had left with me. I saw a mad man approaching me after the boy left, he was also stretching his hand to ask for money. He was moving closer so I walked faster too. He got really close and I had to run. That’s how the marathon started between me and a mad man on a Sunday morning at Ikotun. Someone shouted, give him the food nah and I remember saying a silent curse for whoever it was because I was too hungry to let go. People were laughing and some were even recording me. A celeb like me that had about 25k followers on IG then. I ended up leaving the food for him and he backed out. My precious bread and beans (ewa agonyin to be precise). He will run m@d all over again.

I had dated my girlfriend for 5 years plus and I wanted to take things to another level with her. One day, I took her to a 5-star restaurant to ask for her hands in marriage. I had already planned with the staff at the restaurant so that every attention would be on us and the photographer would be able to capture the beautiful moment. My girlfriend (now ex) didn’t only reject the ring but also threw it away. I was embarrassed but I had to crawl to pick it up because I spent thousands of dollars on it. Most of the people at the restaurant bursted into laughter. Even though they sell my favorite food at that restaurant, I haven’t been there in 2 years.

Early last year, I traveled to Ogbomoso to sort out some things in my school. I had severe stomach pain before I left school but I didn’t bother to do anything about it because I thought I could endure it and sort myself out once I get to Lagos that same day. I got hungry so I bought Oyo bread and Akara to eat. I finished eating and my stomach started making this weird noise. I let out a silent fart with a very strong odor that distorted the atmosphere of the bus, other passengers started complaining but I wasn’t bothered since I expected them to stop once the odor fades in a few seconds.

After like 20 mins, the odor was still strong and people still kept complaining. I later realized that I had sh!t in my pant when I farted. The driver stopped and asked everyone to come down to find out what was smelling. Mothers with babies were forced to check if their babies pooed. I quickly used my handkerchief to wipe my wet seat when I stood up but it didn’t work because flies were around it. Everyone knew I was the one already. I humbled myself and apologised to everyone before I entered the bush to sh!t properly and cleaned myself.
