Its weekend, I got some friend requests on Facebook, one was from a white boy.
I accepted and he wrote to me.
He wasn't the first white person to connect with me on Facebook, but felt something was wrong this time. I have a very good intuition, I guess that's why I play whot very well.
White boy: hi
Ayoade: hello
White boy: I am Tommy, can we be friends?
Ayoade: I already accepted your request, I think that makes us friends.
White boy: in a way it does, in a way it doesn't.
Ayoade: ok. What do you want.
White boy: to make friends.
Ayoade: so let's get to know each other
《After several back and forth conversation》
White boy: do you have a girlfriend?
Ayoade: no. Do you?
White boy: yes I do.
Ayoade: ok, cool. Where are you ?
White boy: America, didn't you read my profile?
Ayoade: I didn't go through your profile
White boy: you just accepted my request without going through my profile
Ayoade: yes, so?
White boy: so why don't you have a girlfriend
Ayoade: in Nigeria, we don't have girlfriends in ss1
《After three days of constant chatting 》
White boy: can I be your boyfriend?
Ayoade: no, I am a guy
White boy: I know. I like you.
Ayoade: Mr. America I don't know you, even if, I don't like guys, I am not gay.
White boy: so you want to pretend like you don't know what I am saying?
Ayoade: if you want to chat with me, don't use a fake white profile. Please don't text me again, I am not interested.
White boy: stop pretending, I saw you.
《 he kept texting, I ignored him》
《Text comes in from Ayodeji》
Ayodeji: xup
Ayoade: nothing much, and you?
Adedeji: just chilling and chatting with my white friends.
《I know where this is going 》
Ayoade: ok cool.
Adedeji: one says he knows you.
Ayoade: ok cool.
Adedeji: you don't want to even know who?
Ayoade: I don't know any white person.
Adedeji: one tommy said he knows you
Ayoade: you know this is very insulting, you can't even do better...
Adedeji: how am I insulting you?
Ayoade: do you think I was born yesterday?
Adedeji: what are you saying
Ayoade: why did you have to create a fake account??
Adedeji: guy calm down now, I don't know what you are talking about.
《I ignored few other texts from him》
Adedeji: ok I am the one, I just wanted to confirm something.
Ayoade: better. I already told your fake account "I am not gay"
Adedeji: but I saw the two of you. I have been seeing the two of you.
Ayoade: if you have been seeing, why do you need to ask me
Adedeji: is it because I have not reported you?
Ayoade: seriously... what do you want?
Adedeji: can we be doing the same thing?
