A Nigerian lady has expressed regret for rejecting a relationship with a man who showed her uncommon love when she was serving two years ago.
She is now blaming her best friend for making her lose the kind man because she advised the man to move on after being treated shabbily by the object of his unrequited love.
An X user, @Ryann_Agada recounted how her best friend when they were observing their National Youth Service, had a suitor who adored her and spent generously on her.
Agada said her friend, named Christy, however, did not like the man because he was fond of wearing oversized trousers, which led to the nickname “10 Yards.”
Ryann Agada said 10 Yards was incredibly kind and generous, and showered her friends with gifts.
She recalled that her friend only tolerated him for the free meals and benefits, while secretly crushing on another corps member.

“My NYSC experience with my friend who disliked a kind admirer
“My NYSC camp bestie and I became roommates after camp. The(re) was this guy who literally adored her. He liked her too much that he would do anything just to make her happy. Unfortunately, she didn’t feel the same way towards him. According to her, he wasn’t her spec. The guy was not bad-looking, but his dressing was funny ngl.
His trousers were oversized and his pam slippers had a touch of heels. We nicknamed him “10 yards”
I saved his number as “Christy’s 10 yards” on my phone
Apart from his dress sense and always looking unkempt, he was
Very nice. He was our go-to contact.
The guy’s restaurant was not far from our PPA. In fact, their little situationship started when we went there to eat. He didn’t collect money from us, and told us that we could come anytime. She agreed to give him her number only because he was going to be the ticket to free meals.
They started dating, but she was always treating him badly.
This guy would bring foodstuff and provisions to the house and still send food to my friend at work sometimes.
My friend was having a crush on one corper then
He took her to a corpers hangout. They stayed until midnight and wanted to go to the club, but she didn’t want to go, so they left her and she was drunk. She called me to say that she was stranded, and I called 10 yards. It was past midnight already, but he went to the place and Brought her home without complaining. He kept asking if she was okay and all
On her birthday, he paid for everything she wore. Took care of food and drinks for the party and still got her presents.
He came a little late, dressed in 20 yards this time, must have been a new one
For his girl.
My friend didn’t want him around. Even when he wanted to take pictures with her, she refused. She kept telling me to ask him to leave, that he’s embarrassing her. At one point, she told him to leave. The guy quietly left.
The next day, he called me to meet up. He wanted advice.
When we met, I told him to let her go. He said he loved her so much, and he didn’t know if he would be able to do that.
I sha told him what I would tell my brother if he was in such a situation.
And I told my friend about it, but she didn’t care
Few months later, we finished service and left that area.
Yesterday she sent me a message saying she texted 10 yards, and tried to apologise and make up with him but he said he doesn’t want her anymore
I asked why she wanted him now, I mean, two years ago she didn’t like anything about him, and from his Facebook posts, not much has changed.
Apparently, all the guys she’s been with after 10 yards have been hit and run, and now she wants him back because she wants true love.
But he’s no longer interested, and he told her that he’ll forever be grateful to me for helping him see the light
And for that, she’s blaming me. She called me ITK and jealous. She said it doesn’t matter what she did, as her friend I was supposed to support her and not make the guy leave her. I just want to know, did I do something wrong?”
