RANTINGS OF A RANDOM (Gay) NIGERIAN (Entry 10)

RANTINGS OF A RANDOM (Gay) NIGERIAN (Entry 10)

It was mother’s day just last Sunday, and I popped into Warri on Saturday to surprise my mom. She did not know I was coming, I did not even know I was going up till that morning; I got up to go for a run and before I knew what was happening, I just needed to see her and was en-route to Warri before 6am. You see, a mother’s love cannot be measured or understood, and the few times I have had cause to rethink my sexuality and the choices I have made were all because of her. I don’t want to be a disappointment to her (it will totally kill me). However, just like Khaleesi said the other day, I have to find a balance between staying true to myself and holding fast to her love. I must walk this thin line.

Anyway, I got to Warri and went straight to her store and the look on her face was priceless as she hugged me and tried hard not to cry. She probably never expected me to come as things have become awkward between us since she started chanting the M word. My sister came around with her kids, and a few other aunties were around, as my mom has always been the rallying point of both families. I stylishly avoided chatting too long with anybody, before they will ask for their iyawo and when I am planning on bringing her home.

Anyway I was sorting out some things from my old bedroom, ready to head back to Port Harcourt in the afternoon, when I heard my mom and her sister talking in her bed room.

Aunty: So, sister, finally you may not get an Igbo son or daughter in law. Odiegwu o! These your children sef

Mom: Well, that is what happens when you raise children across Nigeria. They end up meeting and marrying people from other tribes. We never really lived in Igbo land.

Aunty: What about Eric?

Eric (not real name, of course) is my elder brother who has been in a relationship with an Akwa-Ibom girl since their university days. Those girls never let a man go easily… Hello Jarch, Mercury 🙂

Mom: A Calabar girl has her hands on that one, forget it.

Both of them burst into laughter.

Aunt: And Dennis?

She mentioned my name as if she was treading cautiously, as if it was a taboo subject.

Mom: That one? *sigh* I won’t be surprised if that boy brings home a Japanese grandma or says he suddenly wants to become a monk. I am steeling myself for what Dennis will throw at me, so I won’t have hypertension. He gives me the most concern.

There and then, I became certain that she knows. I don’t think my cousin and his dad have said anything to her yet, but she knows (don’t they always know?). Even as I left Warri that afternoon, her voice was on a loop in my head. That one gives me the most concern…

*

The hottest guys in my company are the store keepers. There are many of them, mostly young and not very educated. The store is a cold storage facility, but because they are always loading and offloading trucks, they are always often shirtless with more than a few butt cracks showing (judge nut).

I love going down here to do inventory (I swear, it is part of my job description). And it’s like being in a strip club with loads of shirtless toned twinks ready to do your bidding. In their eyes, I am the big boss and most of them will be ready to play ball, but after that other bad experience I had, I am being very careful.

There is a particular one that leaves me all flustered, probably around 20 years, and he practically stalks me online. I left my phone in the store once and he brought it to me after of course using it to dial his own phone number and getting my number. He has sent me Whatsapp messages three times, which I have not responded to, but I still have not blocked him either. I know I am playing with fire, but I have not crossed any lines yet. And I probably won’t. But the guy’s brazen boldness is somewhat sexy to me.

*

I describe myself as a grindr tourist; I do not spend long periods of time enough on the app to make useful connections. It is not on my Blackberry, so I only have it on a device which I check mostly just before going to bed. And so I often don’t catch many people online. Last Friday however, most of my crew was not available and I spent the evening on grindr, looking for nothing in particular; just chatting. However I did observe a few hilarious things. Allow me to share them with you:

1. There are no bottoms on grindr, and this is really funny because we know there are so many bottoms around the block. However everyone on grindr is either top or versatile. Many gay men buy into the archetype that the top is the man and the bottom is the woman, and we know that based on our patriarchal systems in place, that the female is often considered less than male. So it will be a cold day in hell before some guys admit that they are bottoms or like taking dick. This also explains why you rarely meet older bottoms, because as these men approach 40, they pretend to become tops as they cannot be someone’s bitch at that age. This I think is the cause of this fad.

2. Photos! Photos!! Photos!!! People tell a lot of lies with photos on grindr, which I also find very funny. You chat up someone and next thing they ask for a photo. And when you send one, they either block you immediately (in that case, you guys have met before and you know he is NOT A TOP) or they send you an unclear picture of themselves. Some even send you a completely fake photo.

Here is what I started doing; if you ask for a photo, I will ask you to send yours first. Some will decline and our chat will end there, some will oblige and send you a photo. I will then proceed to send you a photo too based on the kind of photo you sent to me. Send a clear photo and you get same, send one in which you are wearing large sunglasses and you also get me in large shade plus a hat. Someone sent me a photo of Trey Songz, swearing it was him. I sent him a photo of Barack Obama, also swearing it was me. Our chat ended there, lol.

3. I don’t get the fuss about finding out what I do, as if I am going to reveal my job title along with my KPIs and KRAs to a stranger on a gay hookup app. It doesn’t make any sense to insist, and my solution is often to say I am a corper, and they either clam up or block me. lol.

At the end of the evening, I had a lot of fun and some laughs, but in my opinion, grindr may not be a good place to meet a guy if you are looking for something serious. Historically, my best relationships started organically; from having mutual friends, or when I come to buy a cake from you, or bring my car for you to fix etc. But then again, even that can sink. So, I don’t know.

*

On a final note, a friend of mine wants to find out something.

If you dated someone for some time and his photos or photos of you two together are all over your social media accounts, will it be petty to take them down after you break up?

Remember that I am asking for a friend.

XOXO

    Dennis, to delete pix and burn other related things depends on the kinda breakup we have and the kinda personality he has.. if it’s a clean breakup I won’t delete em cus it’s a means for me to cling to the happy memories and try to block or forget the messy ones/ breakup. deleting pic is petty/ childish.. but if my ex is totally an ass hole, with a bad/ messy breakup..am afraid all de pix, anything remotely linked to him goes into trash…

    You don’t delete pictures of your car after you were robbed of it, nor pictures of your brother after you both fell out. You shouldn’t even remember the pictures are there. He was part of your history, someone/something that made you happy…keep that memory alive.

    **Unless there is a kind of trauma, of which your friend may wish to erase the memory, then go delete-y delete-ah.

    But the best way to deal with a bad memory is to tell the story. To not being afraid of remebering it. To make peace with it.

    “What do you do?” is a perfectly normal question. And safe.

    The one I don’t get is: “WHERE do you work?” I’m always tempted to reply: “Do you want to know my mother’s maiden name too?”

    Asking my ethnic group is also an automatic mood killer – and that’s such a common question these days.

      Absie its funny and I think it stems from wanting to find out early enough if you are financially independent. There are two sets of people who need this info;

      The younger ones who are looking for sugar daddies who will pay for 6500 cocktails when they hang out

      The older guys who don’t want anybody to sponge off them.

      So each wants to classify you early enough and not waste time

    All these “mom always knows” though…. what if she genuinely feels concern; concern based on something she doesn’t know.

    For her mind, maybe u have been getting ur heart broken by many girls who were after money? Hehehehe

    About the pictures. Yes it is petty to take them down… IMO taking them down only means that you are not emotionally strong to handle the breakup OR u still feel something for this person that the pictures ignite (even if u do, u can’t give that person the satisfaction jare. Hian!)

Its ok to be emotional about a break up, to friends you can confide in yes! Or just cry ur heart out (I still don’t know why I’m not capable of that crying part. I guess I need to see a doctor)
      But wearing ur pain for the whole world to see? Mbanu! No matter how broken I’m, He will always catch me singing “Its all good” in my lil kim voice.

    Grindr…. had a very horrible (first) experience with grindr and since then I deleted the app and never looked back. the amount of looneys and wankers that troll that sphere of gay dating apps is just outstanding ***shudders***

    If you’re trying to get over someone and you feel those pictures aren’t helping out, then you’ve got to take em down. For me I have nothing against leaving them online, once I delete your number from my phone that’s the end. That’s where my weakness lays cos I’ll be tempted to call you if i still have your number. Whereas looking at pictures of us when the going was good doesn’t mess me up emotionally

    There is a difference between them ‘knowing and hoping its not’ and ‘undecided and still guessing’. Except kito av announced theirselves on ur doorstep, or ur mannerisms are a give away, ur mom is guessing.

    There are some STUPID qxns ppl ask on social networks. After aving ur life history on on ur profile page, they still ask – ASL?, role?. I dunno what iritates me more ‘sumbori who drops his contacts without so much as a ‘hello” OR ‘someone who says hello, drops his contact and then proceeds to ask for my picture after adding up’.

    Wrong person to ask seeing as I hate pictures however TAKE DEM DOWN. Too much memories and you won’t let the other get beta boyfriend. Don’t b a stumbling block

    Hahaha hahaha. Oh this entry got me laughing at intervals, the grindr part especially.
    Curiosity got me to try it but I lost interest, like I always do with all hook up sites. I guess if you’re looking for a quick lay, they are good but if you’re an easy going laid back sophisticated grammar nazi guy, you’ll lose interest and fast.
    Most guys that work in heavy duty departments, lifting heavy equipment and the likes, are always hot. That’s free workout right there and makes me rethink my job on some sexual fantasy induced days.
    Don’t take down the pictures, the hurt would go away and if you look good in the pics then why take it down?

    Another gooey rich piece from Dennis!!!
    I shall never tire of screaming from the rooftops and minarets and steeples that a mother’s love is a thing not to be toyed with. If you lose it, you will hurt – and continue to hurt in unimaginable ways. Nevertheless, you must walk that thin line and strike that balance. I personally believe my Mum at this point practically knows that her beloved son ain’t straight, but she continues to love and encourage me nevertheless. She is the only reason i may ever have regretted my sexuality and if ever i am to make any sort of compromise, it will be only because of her – anyone else can get on all fours and kiss my not-so-black ass **rolls eyes***… So Dennis, you need to rise above the awkwardness of the “M” word, you just have to.
    Dennis, King of Twinks!! Continuu oooo, but sha ain’t nothing sexier than a bunch of young scantily clad men with rippling muscles exerting themselves on a football field or while lifting and carrying heavy items – Yum!! Dont we all love bold men (no matter their age),, who know what they want and GO for it. I am personally turned on by guys who are bold enough to grab what they want!
    Sigh … the masculine is superior while feminine is inferior archetype … well, na so we see am, our culture is male dominated and feminine oppressive, hence most gay guys are reluctant to admit that they love to be get fucked and a lot of tops see it as a point of triumph to recount all the guys they’ve fucked, i personally know a top who vows that no one will ever fuck him and in the same breath recounts with glee and pride about how he’s an expert @ bending and fucking tops … smh … he’s a basket of crap!!
    I however know a friend who’s in his late 20s and who is attracted mostly to older men – as old as 60s. He is a strict top (his terminology), and tells me that there are a lot of older bottoms/versatiles, they just need to be comfortable with and trust that you will continue to respect as well as protect their discretion and gurlll, once that’s done, those saggy, wrinkled cakes will fly open faster than you can munch on a slice of cake!!
    Of course Grindr is a hook up app, its where you go when you’re lonely and horny and want someone with who you’ll fuck your brains out. If you’re looking for romance/companionship, thats obviously the wrong spot, still its better than the flagship stores of the creep mall – Manjam and 2go ***shudders violently***
    This was nice Dennis ***muah*** ****drags you away from warehouse full of twinks and shoves you firmly back to your office, slams and locks door***

    I don’t see anything wrong in asking for ones occupation, age or tribe. I always ask. If you don’t like it, you can go to hell. I am not asking because I need your money or don’t want anyone to fleece me. I ask because I want to know the sort of person I am chatting with.

    I dislike chatting with those white guys, they are so creepy. When you ask them for their pictures, the first thing they send to you is their nude. You ask for their face and they won’t reply you. You ask for a face picture and they send you 5 nudes expecting you to reciprocate. They assume that when they tell you that they are visiting and presently lodging in Transcorp or Sheraton, that you’d come running to them because you want greenback.

    The truth of the matter is that Grindr is better than the others, except maybe facebook. I have actually met some cool guys there.

    As for deleting pictures, I always delete pictures. If I don’t have anything to do with you, why should I keep it. Besides, I would be furious if I am dating someone and the person decides to upload my picture on facebook…for wetin na…are we getting married or what…biko, let our secret be our secret.

        ‘I dislike chatting with those white guys, they are so creepy’.

        @My chemical romance, I don’t know if you intended it or not, but this is so offensive.
        Reminds of of what Azealia Banks said in her play boy interview about hating fat white people.

        If a white person had said either of this things, we would all have our hands in the air shouting RACIST!!
        Black people can be racist too, so kindly refrain from making such offensive generalizations. It’s so not cool.

      My Chemical Romance, the reason I’m “uncomfortable” with the tribe question is – in my experience – most people ask this within FIVE minutes of connecting. It’s rather odd, especially when you remember the fact that, in Nigeria, the ethnicity question is HARDLY innocent: people want to know straight-up where to classify you so they know how best to package their ethnic prejudices around you. One guy told me he wanted to make sure I’m not Hausa because he doesn’t like Hausa guys and then went on to say something pejorative about them.

      Even on this blog, haven’t some people stereotyped and said ugly things about gay guys from certain ethnic groups – and even sworn off hooking up with them? So I find it suspect if ethnic lines is the FIRST thing one needs to establish on meeting, whereas there are other conversation starters like what you had for breakfast that morning or the fact that you saw “Gone Girl” the night before…

    Dude…learn to see a joke when you see one. Not everyone is trying to picka fight with you.

    Jokes don’t read well on paper, that being abeg retire this overly defensive crap, we get it your opinions will be forever different…I don’t know about others but I don’t think that’s a bad thing, so stop looking for a fight were there isn’t one.
    PS. I don’t kiss anyone’s ass on this blog, I just happen know how to disagree without acting like a bull on heat.

    Its heart warming to know that we still have people who appreciates the love of mothers in this new age where some sadists shamelessly advocate that the love mothers show their kids was merely a performance of assigned duties not worthy of remunerating.

      Gad, really? This sounds new to me. As far as I’m concerned, mother is always supreme, in every age. Most guyz have a soft spot for their mothers.

    Sensei,some guys dont have regards for their mothers.im surprised that you dont know this.they are everywhere including here.you may wish to revisit the comment section of the edition of james journal where he expressed worry that his mum,s misunderstanding of him vis-a-vis his sexuality was creating holes on the bond that exists between them.the comment of some people here will shock you

    “most of my crew was not

    Is the above sentence grammatically correct?

      Of course not. But, who cares about the grammatical syntax these days on social media?
