A Nigerian man with the Twitter name Nwoke Agulu on Monday, September 21, narrated how he 'creatively' jilted a lady after seeing a huge wedding bill.
Nwoke said that everything went sour with the relationship when she told him that he would have to budget R175 000 for their wedding.
It did not stop there. According to him, the lady said that he would have to deposit the sum of R43 900 into her account for the expenses, adding that she would need to sell "aso ebi".
The Nigerian man said that to escape everything, he had to go to the hospital and forge a medical report that says he is AS, knowing that the lady also has the same genotype.
On seeing the report and knowing a marriage between two AS people is unadvisable, they both 'cried' and broke up.

As expected, the tweet drew hundreds of comments from people. There were some people who believed he should have talked to the lady instead of lying to her.
Below are, therefore, some of the reactions:
Someone pointed out the fact that going for a forged document was in itself a criminal act.

Thousands of South Africans were inspired by the post and they applauded @pipozaire06 for doing something sweet for his grandparents.
