He said his girlfriend had visited him from Lagos at that time to break the news that she got a UK visa and would be moving abroad.
The lady explained that she had everything ready for the trip except for the flight ticket.
Despite being disturbed by the development, the man paid her flight ticket of almost N160k as well as ensured she braided her hair.
His thoughts were that if they were meant to be, things would eventually work out.
"In the morning, I decided to let her go, if it is meant to be we will work it out. A year earlier we met when I was processing my student visa to Uni Omaha for a Pre-pharm. And no jupita could have stopped me from going had I got the visa, '' he wrote.

They'd eventually get married years later.
Nigerians share their thoughts on the man's story
@DanielRegha remarked:
"Relationship is all abt compromising; When u truly love someone u put their best interest first even if it mayn't favour u in the long-run cos love is unconditional. U are extremely lucky if u have a partner or a friend who will go above & beyond for u, cos such people are rare."

@mcfaradara opined:
"For real folks, it takes so much sacrifices to scale through choices and circumstances in relationships. Choosing each other over and over again is a decision to make at almost all turns.

Lady who bagged abroad scholarship cries out that her boyfriend is threatening to leave her
Meanwhile, Briefly News' sister site in Nigeria, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian lady who got an abroad scholarship had sought advice as her boyfriend threatened to end their relationship if she flies out.
Faced with the dilemma, she shared her problem with a LinkedIn influencer, Rita Orji who is a well-known Nigerian professional residing in Canada.
Sharing the story on LinkedIn, Professor Rita Orji wrote:
"Woke up to an email from a lady who got a fully-funded admission for an MSc. abroad. Her 'boyfriend' told her to choose between the admission and him. She seeks my advice. I don't interfere in relationship issues but think it's unfair to give her such condition."
