Uzor Arukwe, a popular Nigerian actor, has opened up about a past relationship where his girlfriend left him for another woman.
In an interview, Uzor recounted his experience, saying:
“We were dating and she fell in love with another woman. I could see what the girl was doing to her and she was telling me, ‘Babe, are you seeing what this girl is doing?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah’. Then my girl goes to the loo. The girl follows my babe and my girl comes out and she rushes back and she was like, ‘This girl tried to kiss me in the bathroom’ and I was like, ‘Did you kiss her back?’ and she was like, ‘No!’ But I could tell it was a new experience for her. It was fresh.
“The girl came back, she was feminine. She wasn’t really a stud. She was a woman and she had done this too many times and she knew that that girl was going to fall for her because she came back and she looked at me dead in the eye and she was like, ‘Hi, what’s up? Can I get a drink?’ She was very confident.
“I just thought it was nonsense and that this was going to die on arrival. Two weeks down the line, I saw two of them talking more and more on the phone, giggling… The next thing I heard was, ‘I am going to spend the weekend with this girl’ and I’m like, ‘What about me?’ She was like, ‘She’s been with me since and that she just wanted to go and spend a harmless holiday with this girl.’ And that was it.
“After that holiday, the next thing I started seeing was, ‘The way I screamed’, ‘The way you did this’, and ‘You finished me.’ We just started having a lot of arguments about it.”
When asked how it made him feel to see it was a woman who ‘snatched’ his girlfriend from him, Uzor said:
“I felt very… if it was a guy, we fit throw blow… I would hardly fight for a woman unless it’s worth it, but if it was a guy, I would have accosted him and said, ‘That’s my girl, what are you doing with my girl? What am I going to tell her?’ I would go and tell a girl to leave my woman alone? I didn’t know how to go about it.
“For the longest time, I couldn’t talk to girls because if I saw a girl, I would assume that they were dating. I just didn’t like them. I was weary of them because it hit home. It hit my core.”
