It is generally known, either by personal experience or stories shared by others, that matters of love and break up are always complicated.
However, a stereotypical notion has left many believing that men are not as affected as women when experiencing the pain of a heartbreak.
Men are also encouraged to mask their pain, ‘move on’ and not talk about their experiences.
However, some Nigerians men have mustered up the courage to share their heartbreaking stories on Twitter.
One Adebanjo Tomiwa tweeted;
just remembered when I was in Unilag before I got my first car when one guy came to carry my babe from my presence at my department that year. Said he just came back from the states and he brought her lots of goodies. Turns out the nuisance was Osi Suave.
E pain me.— Tomiwa. (@Adebanjo_TA) February 7, 2018
She’s currently on my WhatsApp begging me for money talmbout “any amount you can send”. Whatever happened to the goodies Osi brought for you. Don’t be stupid. Be gone 😂😂😂

Abimbola O’larry Turner tweeted;
Babe cancelled last minute on me cos she said she had a modeling gig. Foiled all the plans we’d made for the longest time. She uploaded her picture on BBM next day & the background was my apartment. Apparently she canceled on me to go have sex with one of my guys in my own house.

I knew that car. The lad had come and done champagne bottles all night. Dami Duro was popping asf. It was Davido and his crew. As a man now I went to the car to knock the window. “Hey should I wait for you?” Aunty say “no don’t worry I’ll come back in the afternoon”
— Fezco (@Mr_Feye) July 1, 2020
Omo the walk of shame from the car park to book Taxi. The taxi man look me say “is everything okay?” I say “yes I’m just having tummy upset”. Longest ride back to the hotel. Didn’t sleep. Truly in the afternoon she came & guess who opened door and took her in. She’s on my TL 😂🤣
— Fezco (@Mr_Feye) July 1, 2020
Lmao dropped phone and came back to a shitload of mentions so let me add that this happened way back in 2012 when Dami Duro was the hottest song in naij. And to think I lied and left school for that “weekend getaway” lol. It was good for my character building sha 😂😂😂

My one and only heartbreak.
She broke the news around sunset but I still had the presence of mind to go pray Magrib.
I didn’t know when my tears start pooling inside the ablution kettle — a kind brother had to shake me out of my misery.
I will never wish it on anybody.
