Could this be Love?

Could this be love? I stumbled upon a story on social media of a Caucasian man who fell in love with an African lady that he met while he was in Africa. The particular African country was not stated.

This African lady is not the regular African slay queen, she is a real 'kpum', the raw type, the bush meat type, the kind of woman that we will not look at a second time. the kind of woman that has been relegated to a life of hardship and penury.

I was left wondering how the pair met themselves and as a hopeless romantic, it made me believe in the power of love again. In a world where many women both young and old go under the knife just to impress the men, this is cheering news.

This woman was found in her wonderfully and fearfully made status; no additions, no subtractions. She did not fix false eye lashes, no fake boobs, no fake hips, no tummy tuck and no tightening of the vjayjay. She was just 'turninoninown' hahaha and love found her.

Perfect love I dare say; the type that would turn her life around and remove the sufferings of the past and usher her into a beautiful future where all could be well.

If you are wondering why it is such a big deal that an African woman was the fancy of a white man, then you must be living in another planet. Most African countries are impoverished and the citizens live in conditions not even fit for animals. Finding love with someone who is capable of bringing to an end everything that has brought one pain is a big deal.

The man in question is not a Denzel Washington or like my darling hubby. Lol! But the circumstances in this case made him pure diamond in the rough.

I also understand that millions of people in different African countries have lived in abnormal conditions for years that they know nothing else but that kind of life and may not understand what it means to live any other way, however, it is wrong for anyone to get used to suffering.

Living in an open space and enjoying the full moon or the wild life, eating fresh food of unprocessed livestock and vegetables are not my examples of living in penury. I am talking about lack of basic necessities like clean water, good hospitals and good schools that some of our African leaders have vehemently refused to provide for us.

From the reports, this particular woman should be settling into her new life in a country where everything works, where you can dial an emergency number while in danger and get a response. She would be trying to get used to switching on the light and having it come on and watching the television without having to pray half of the time for NEPA not to strike and steal her joy away.

One thing I hope for is that this particular woman should always remember that this man chose her just the way she was and so should never try to look like those that she may see in her new environment. She should not tamper with her dentition, there is a reason God made us that way, we eat meat a lot. Our dark skin is made for our sometimes harsh weather conditions and God knew exactly what He was doing when He made us thick and like they say, Black don’t crack.

She should not try to fix her waist, hips, boobs or vjayjay, he will love her still. And if for any reason she used ‘otumorkpo’ a.k.a black magic on the innocent man, lol she should just enjoy all she can now for it will not last.

I am also worried about her being accepted into the society by her new family, there will definitely be people who will think that the man finally lost his mind and so will try to make her life difficult.

As for me, I wish them the very best that life has to offer and hope that they legalise their union before God and before man.

Looking at this picture one more time I ask again, could this be love?
