A Nigerian student has sparked emotional reactions on social media after revealing that he chose his university solely because of his girlfriend — only to discover she is now dating another student.
Love Turns Into Heartbreak
In a viral post, the young man confessed that while in SS3, he selected the same university as his girlfriend, believing they would continue their relationship after secondary school.
“I picked this school because my girlfriend was coming here,” he wrote. “At first, I thought I wouldn’t get admission, but I did. Now she has a boyfriend in 400 level, and I’m just here focusing on my education.”
Mixed Reactions Online
His confession touched many online, with users expressing sympathy for his heartbreak and praising his decision to focus on his studies. Others, however, took a lighter tone, calling it a valuable lesson in prioritising personal goals over emotions.
One user humorously commented, “You followed her for love, she followed senior man for lunch.”
The story has since trended across multiple platforms, sparking conversations about youthful love, trust, and the realities of campus relationships.
