Nigerian man says he almost traveled to Ghana with his last N10k just to beg his girlfriend not to breakup with him

There are many unusual and somewhat ridiculous things people do for love, it varies from subjecting oneself to suffering, to fighting ones family for the sake of their partner, however one recent case which has come up is that of a man who intended to travel across countries to plead with his girlfriend not to break up. A Nigerian man, Chidi Okereke has shared details of how he almost went to Ghana from Nigeria with the last N10,000 in his account just to make his ex see reasons not to leave him.

Narrating the story via his Twitter handle @Chydee revealed that it all happened during his NYSC days. In his words: “When I was serving in Kogi, I suspected my ‘girl’ was cheating with her ex and I confronted her. She vehemently denied, I believed and we moved on. Few days later she told me she was breaking up. I had less than N10k in my Acct, so ask me why I started looking for a bus to Ghana.

“I vividly remember when it happened. I was the CLO of my LGA and I was alone in my office when she said she was done. I told her to hold on, I stood up, carried my bag and locked the office. Then I begged her to just give me 24 hours. I will come to Ghana let’s talk about it. “I was crying as I left the office, asking her to just send me her address let me come and talk. I’d never been outside Nigeria o, but at that point, I felt if she saw me she’d have a change of heart. And that was all that mattered. Never mind that N10k couldn’t take me past Seme “She refused, and said she was back with her ex. I was right. But I didn’t care anymore. I was sure distance was why she was breaking up, so I was going to fix it. She switched off her phone. I was asking a friend how to go to Ghana when he reminded me I didn’t have a passport.

“That is the reason I didn’t go to Ghana. If you don’t have a passport, at least have money to bribe officials. I had neither, and I thank God, because I was going to risk it all. “I’ll probably never be that foolish again, but believe me when I say, love will humble you.” Checkout his tweets:
