From Side Chicks to Main Chicks

Must Read

The Nigerian Love Triangle Drama In the colorful tapestry of Nigerian romance, few topics are as hotly debated or hilariously complex as the saga of the “side chick.”

For the uninitiated, a “side chick” is a woman involved with a man who is already in a committed relationship, often a mistress navigating the rocky shoals of secrecy, discretion, and the occasional confrontation.

Today, we embark on a humorous exploration of this phenomenon, spiced with real-life stories and sprinkled with satirical advice.

The Side Chick: An Introduction

Nigerian culture is rich with proverbs and sayings, and one that comes to mind is “In the forest, only the tall trees are seen; the bushes are never noticed.” In this metaphorical forest, the “main chick” is the tall tree, while the “side chick” lurks in the underbrush. However, in the modern jungle of Lagos or Abuja, these bushes are getting pretty bold, often vying for sunlight and space.

Real-Life Stories: When Side Chicks Strike Back

The Party Crasher Take the case of Tunde, a Lagos businessman, who thought he could juggle two women with the deftness of a circus performer. His main chick, Ada, a savvy fashionista, was blissfully unaware until Tunde’s side chick, Sade, decided she had enough of the shadows. At Ada’s birthday party, Sade showed up uninvited, delivering a speech that left everyone, including Tunde, in stunned silence. “I just want to say happy birthday to the woman who thinks she’s Tunde’s only love,” she began, “but really, she’s just the one with the title.”

The Social Media Blowout

Then there’s the cautionary tale of Emeka, whose double life was blown apart by the power of social media. His side chick, Nneka, went on a social media rant, posting pictures of them together and tagging Emeka’s main chick, Ifeoma, in every single post. The fallout was epic, with Emeka losing not just his relationships but also his peace of mind, as the story trended on Twitter for days.

Satirical Advice for Aspiring Side Chicks. For those considering a foray into side chick territory, here’s some tongue-in-cheek advice:

Stay Off Social Media: If you must exist, exist quietly. Avoid the temptation to tag, tweet, or post anything that might give you away. Remember, discretion is the better part of valour—and side chickery.

Perfect the Art of Timing: Learn the schedules of the main chick and plan your interactions accordingly. The moment you both show up at the same event, it’s over. Avoid Birthdays and Anniversaries: These dates are sacred for the main chick. Trying to muscle in on these will only end in tears—mostly yours.

Master the Exit Strategy: If things get too hot, know when to gracefully exit. Leaving with your dignity intact is better than being dragged out of the proverbial burning house.

The Transition from Side to Main Chick: Is It Possible?

Can a side chick ever become the main chick? The answer, while theoretically possible, is fraught with peril. A few rare cases exist where the side chick ascends to the throne, but more often than not, the cycle repeats, with new side chicks waiting in the wings. As the saying goes, “how you get them is how you lose them.”

The Main Chick’s Guide to Survival

For main chicks feeling the heat, here are some satirical tips to keep your man on a short leash: Spy Like a Pro: Keep an eye on his phone, his emails, and his social media. Trust but verify, as the saying goes.

Mark Your Territory: Regularly remind him (and his potential side chicks) of your presence. Tag him in loving posts, leave your stuff at his place, and ensure your photos dominate his spaces.

Surprise Visits: Show up unannounced. Nothing keeps a man on his toes like the fear of a surprise inspection. Hire a Private Investigator: If all else fails, there are professionals who can help. Just kidding (or maybe not?).

In the end, the Nigerian love triangle drama is a testament to the complexities of human relationships. Whether you’re a main chick, side chick, or a man caught in between, the key is to navigate with humor, resilience, and a touch of wisdom. After all, in the grand theater of Nigerian romance, everyone plays their part—and sometimes, the drama is just too juicy to miss.
