A Nigerian man recently shared a story on social media about his friend’s reaction when he didn’t receive a birthday message from his girlfriend.
According to the Twitter user, who goes by the name Celebrity Tailor, his friend had high expectations for his birthday and anticipated receiving a message from his girlfriend around midnight.
His statement “My friend in school once broke up with the girl he was dating cos she didn’t send him happy birthday wishes at approximately 00:00 or at most 00:10 am. He considered it as heavy lack of interest. Meanwhile she texted at 05:47.”
However, when he didn’t receive the expected message, he decided to end their relationship.
The Twitter user further explained that his friend interpreted his girlfriend’s failure to send a birthday message as a lack of interest in their relationship.
Many Nigerians took to his comment page to react to the post, below are some reactions:
@TGbeinbo: “I know it’s petty, but my gf only sent “happy birthday” around 5:11 pm and that was after she asked me to give her back a little sum of money she lent me. Always thought I was a hard man, bt I felt some pain that day. Bottom line, if u no get the bag, nobody go wish u by 00:0.”
@ashinwooluwato1: “If you wish me happy birthday at 00:00 I will assume you don’t have anything important you are doing with your life.”
@Tegadeyforyou: “He’s not an understanding person. 00:00!? Kidding me?! Well, unless he wishes her on her own birthday at that time tho. Then it may be valid.”
@ogagaoghen54216: “Maybe the girl Dey post other boys birthday picture approximately 00:00 so he is jealous and decide to break up I will do the same though.”
@ms_lindaa: “He just was looking for an excuse to break up.”
