A man can discipline his children, set rules for them, and demand good behaviour from them, but if he cannot discipline himself, that doesn’t make him a disciplined or well-behaved man.

True discipline starts with you. You cannot demand from others what you refuse to practice yourself.

Dear Meta/Facebook,

Please, take your picture views and give me back my video views. 😂

I honestly don’t care if my pictures reach millions. All I want is for my videos to go viral! 🙏😂

Please, take the picture views and give me back my video views. I prefer my videos to go viral more than my pictures.

Thank you. I hope you hear my humble request. 😂❤️

PART FOUR: THE CONFUSED MAN WHO WANTED TO SETTLE DOWN 😂

“Emeka, did you hear me?”

Emeka was still holding the phone.

“Yes, Mum.”

“I said I have spoken to your uncle. We want to start discussing the wedding date.”

Emeka looked at Ada.

Then he looked at Blessing.

Then he looked at the phone again.

“Mum…”

“Yes, my son?”

“Can we discuss that later?”

“Later? Why? You told us you were ready. Your uncle is already excited. We need to know when to start making arrangements.”

Emeka swallowed hard.

“Mum, please. I’ll call you back.”

Before his mother could say anything else, Emeka ended the call.

Silence.

Ada folded her arms.

Blessing was sitting quietly.

Then Ada spoke.

“So… wedding?”

Emeka rubbed his forehead.

“Ada, please.”

“No, Emeka. I want to understand something.”

She looked at Blessing.

“Does she know you’re planning to marry me?”

Blessing looked at Emeka.

“No.”

Ada laughed.

Not because it was funny.

Because she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“Interesting.”

Blessing stood up.

“Emeka, I think I should leave.”

Ada immediately said:

“Yes. I think that’s the best thing.”

Emeka quickly stood up.

“Wait! Both of you, please!”

Both women looked at him.

Emeka took a deep breath.

“I invited Blessing because I wanted to settle things properly.”

Ada asked:

“Settle what?”

Emeka hesitated.

Blessing answered for him.

“His feelings.”

Ada looked at Emeka.

“You still have feelings for her?”

Emeka’s eyes moved from one woman to the other.

“I have feelings for both of you.”

The room went completely silent.

Even Emeka seemed shocked by his own honesty.

Ada slowly nodded.

“At least you’re finally telling the truth.”

Blessing looked at him too.

“So who do you want?”

Emeka opened his mouth.

Nothing.

Blessing asked again.

“Who do you want to marry?”

Still nothing.

Ada shook her head.

“You see? This is the problem.”

She picked up her handbag.

“You don’t want a wife. You want options.”

Emeka immediately said:

“No! That’s not true.”

Ada looked at him.

“Then choose.”

Emeka froze.

Blessing also said:

“Yes, Emeka. Choose.”

Suddenly, the two women were standing in front of him, waiting for an answer.

Emeka looked at Ada.

Then Blessing.

Then Ada again.

He took a deep breath.

“I need time.”

Ada laughed.

“Time?”

Blessing shook her head.

“You’ve had years.”

Ada walked toward the door.

“I’m done.”

Emeka followed her.

“Ada, please!”

She turned around.

“Emeka, you told me you wanted to settle down. I believed you.”

She paused.

“But you cannot build a marriage while keeping another woman standing beside you.”

She walked out.

Emeka stood there helplessly.

Blessing picked up her bag.

“You know what?”

Emeka turned.

“What?”

“I came back because I thought you were finally ready.”

She looked at him sadly.

“But you’re not ready.”

She walked toward the door too.

Emeka couldn’t believe it.

“Blessing!”

She stopped.

He wanted to say something.

Anything.

But nothing came.

Blessing nodded.

“Exactly.”

And she left.

Emeka sat down slowly.

For the first time, the room was completely quiet.

His phone rang.

Mum.

He stared at the screen.

He didn’t answer.

It rang again.

He finally picked up.

“Hello, Mum.”

His mother sounded excited.

“My son! Your uncle said Saturday is good for the family meeting.”

Emeka closed his eyes.

“Mum…”

“Yes?”

“I don’t think there will be a wedding.”

There was silence on the other end.

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know anymore.”

His mother shouted:

“EMEKA!”

He quickly removed the phone from his ear.

“I’m listening, Mum.”

“What have you been doing?”

Emeka sighed.

“Mum, I made a mistake.”

“What mistake?”

Emeka looked around the empty restaurant.

“I tried to choose a wife before choosing who I truly wanted.”

His mother went quiet.

Then she said:

“My son, marriage is not a market where you compare two women and pick the one with the better price.”

Emeka said nothing.

His mother continued:

“You wanted to settle down so badly that you forgot the most important thing—you must first be settled in your heart.”

Emeka lowered his head.

For the first time, he understood.

He wasn’t confused because the women were confusing him.

He was confused because he didn’t know what he wanted.

And now he had lost both women.

But just as he was about to leave the restaurant, his phone buzzed.

A message.

From Ada.

He opened it.

“Emeka, I need to tell you something. I’m pregnant.”

Emeka’s eyes widened.

He read the message again.

And again.

Then another message came in.

“Please don’t call me. I need some time.”

Emeka slowly sat back down.

“Jesus…”

He looked at the ceiling.

“I’m finished.”

TO BE CONTINUED… 😂

PART THREE: THE MEETING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED 😂

The next day, Emeka woke up feeling confident.

He had already made up his mind.

He would meet Blessing one last time, hear what she had to say, and finally close that chapter.

At least, that was what he told himself. 😂

So he sent Blessing a message:

“Let’s meet and talk.”

Blessing replied:

“Okay. Where?”

Emeka chose a quiet restaurant.

But unfortunately…

Ada knew the restaurant.

And guess who was already there?

😂😂😂

Emeka arrived first.

A few minutes later, Blessing walked in.

The moment Emeka saw her, his heart started beating faster.

Blessing smiled.

“Hi, Emeka.”

“Hi.”

They sat down.

Blessing looked at him and said:

“I didn’t come here to cause problems. I just want to know if you still love me.”

Emeka looked away.

“Blessing, I’m with someone now.”

She nodded.

“I know.”

“Then why are you here?”

She smiled sadly.

“Because five years with someone doesn’t disappear because you started dating another person.”

Emeka became quiet.

Then Blessing reached across the table and held his hand.

And that was the exact moment Ada walked in.

Emeka nearly jumped out of his chair.

“Ada?!”

Ada looked at him.

Then she looked at Blessing.

Then she looked at their hands.

Silence.

The waiter even stopped moving. 😂

Ada finally said:

“So this is the future conversation you were talking about?”

Emeka quickly removed his hand.

“Ada, please, it’s not what you think.”

Ada laughed.

“Emeka, don’t worry. Explain it to me.”

Blessing stood up.

“I’m Blessing.”

Ada looked at her.

“I know.”

Blessing was surprised.

“You know me?”

Ada replied:

“Of course. My fiancé has mentioned you.”

Emeka’s eyes nearly came out.

“Fiancé?”

Ada looked at him.

“Yes. Isn’t that what you told me you were?”

Emeka had no words.

Then Blessing asked:

“So you’re getting married?”

Ada answered:

“That’s what he told me.”

Blessing turned to Emeka.

“And you told me you still have feelings for me.”

Ada’s smile disappeared.

She looked at Emeka.

“You told her that?”

Emeka started sweating.

Again. 😂

“Wait… wait… everybody calm down.”

Ada folded her arms.

“Emeka, choose your words carefully.”

Blessing also folded her arms.

“I’m listening.”

Emeka looked at both women.

For the first time, he realized something:

He had been trying to avoid hurting two women, but his indecision was hurting both of them even more.

He opened his mouth to speak…

But before he could say anything—

his mother called.

And the first thing she said was:

“Emeka, I’ve spoken to your uncle. We want to start discussing the wedding date.”

😭😭😭😂😂😂

Emeka looked at Ada.

Then Blessing.

Then the phone.

The man who wanted to settle down had now entered a situation he couldn’t escape from.

And the worst part?

His mother didn’t even know there were two women.

TO BE CONTINUED…

PART TWO: THE MAN WHO WANTED TO SETTLE DOWN 😂😂

The next morning, Emeka woke up with one problem:

Two women were waiting for him.

Ada was waiting for their “future” conversation.

Blessing was waiting for him to “talk.”

And Emeka was waiting for God to somehow solve the situation. 😂

He dressed for work, picked up his phone and saw another message from Blessing:

“Good morning. I hope you slept well. I’m still waiting for you.”

Emeka sighed.

Before he could reply, Ada called.

“Baby, are you coming this evening? We need to talk about our future.”

Emeka swallowed.

“Yes, my love. We will talk.”

He ended the call and whispered:

“Which future?” 😭😂

That evening, Emeka went to see Ada.

Ada sat beside him and smiled.

“Baby, I think we should start planning our wedding. Your mother already likes me. My family is also asking questions.”

Emeka nodded slowly.

“You’re right.”

Ada looked at him.

“So what is stopping us?”

Emeka became quiet.

Ada noticed.

“Emeka… is there another woman?”

The question hit him like thunder.

“No!”

He answered too quickly.

Ada looked at him suspiciously.

“Why did you answer like that?”

“Like what?”

“Like someone that has already been arrested.” 😂😂

Emeka laughed nervously.

“No, there’s nobody.”

But unfortunately for Emeka, his phone was lying on the table.

Blessing called.

Ada looked at the screen.

“Who is Blessing?”

Emeka froze.

He picked up the phone immediately.

“It’s nobody.”

Ada’s eyes widened.

“Nobody has a name now?”

Emeka knew he had entered trouble.

He tried to explain.

“She’s just someone from my past.”

Ada stood up.

“Your past that is calling you at 8:30 p.m.?”

Emeka quickly said:

“She just wants to talk.”

Ada laughed.

“Okay. Then talk to her.”

Emeka stared at her.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Then Ada added:

“But make sure you tell her you are engaged to me.”

Emeka’s confidence disappeared.

Because deep down, he knew something Ada didn’t know.

He still had feelings for Blessing.

And that night, after Ada left, Emeka finally called Blessing.

“Blessing, why did you come back?”

She was quiet for a few seconds.

Then she said:

“Because I made a mistake leaving you.”

Emeka closed his eyes.

“And what do you want now?”

Blessing replied:

“I want you back.”

Emeka sat there in silence.

Then she asked the question that completely confused him:

“If you truly don’t love me anymore, why are you afraid to choose?”

Emeka couldn’t answer.

Because she had touched the exact place he had been trying to hide.

The man who wanted to settle down suddenly realized…

He wasn’t confused about marriage.

He was confused about which woman he wanted to marry. 😭😂

And the next morning, Emeka did something that would make everything worse…

He invited both women to the same place.

😂😂😂
