He REFUSED To Surrender Her Property,Until She TAUGHT Him A Good..#story #folktole #tales #folklore – Ty

Paula was only 29 years old. He was a back-end developer. He lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Bagada in Lagos and he was very good at his job, but he was very bad at knowing when a good thing was standing right next to him. One Monday morning, his office flooded, a pipe bust, and it was a terrible timing.

The management of the company had to send everybody home to go and work remotely. The problem was that caller’s internet was not working that day. It had not been working for 3 days. He had been managing it with his phone data which was running out faster than his patient. Fortunately for him, his neighbor across the corridor, Bing, was a graphic designer who worked from her laptop every day. And B had excellent internet.

She was also a very friendly person. She also had a very kind spirit, which is how Ka ended up knocking on her door at 8:00 a.m. holding his laptop like a man presenting a petition. When B opened the door, Alla started begging. Please neighbor, I would die if I cannot submit this AIP documentation today.

Please, I just want to make use of your internet. I beg you, I don’t even mind paying part of it. Looked at him for a moment. Then she didn’t even say anything. She just stepped aside and asked him to come in. And that was day one. By day three, he had also eaten Bimp’s food twice. Not by invitation, by proximity.

The food was there. It smelled amazing because anytime Ka was working inside Me’s apartment, Bip would cook and there is no way she would say, “Cola, come and eat.” And Cola would say no. As a young guy living alone who hardly even cook, he could not say no. So he ate. By day five, he had decided she was the most interesting person he had ever met within 20 m away.

By week three, they were already dating. And then one day we pay’s rent expired. She wanted to renew, but her landlord said he wanted to renovate the entire floor. The kind of renovation that required everyone to live. B needed somewhere to stay just for 3 months while she found a new apartment. Cola did not even let her breathe.

He immediately offered he told me to come and stay with him since he’s just 3 months and 3 months is nothing. And that was how 3 months became four, four became seven and seven became 11. And before they could know it, one year passed. Holla and Bimp stayed in the same apartment. While staying in Holla’s apartment, Bimp was not staying there as a house guest.

And she was not the kind of woman who sat on someone’s sofa and waited for things to happen around her. Because while staying there, Cola’s fridge began to make a sound. The kind of sound that she described very specifically as a fridge in a spiritual distress. The fridge was really making noise. It was terrible and it always disturbed her whenever she’s working.

Be decided to buy a new one. While color could fix this fridge whenever he wants, she did not ask for permission because she knows she needed the freezer. She simply measured the space, went to the market and ordered one, arranged it to be delivered on one Saturday morning. When the delivery men refused to carry it above second floor, B did not even argue with them.

She called two of her contacts, two guys. They came on a Sunday morning and they carried the fridge up without any single complaint because Bitme was really a lovingly young lady. She was kind to people so people help her without even needing to ask twice with time because of how busy was washing her clothes was like a big shore. She thought of what to do.

Then she went to call her and told him that she wants to get a washing machine for the house. If she’s getting it, she wants to get it with her own money. But if he had any mind of getting a washing machine, let her stop because this is his own apartment and she doesn’t want any trouble. Caller then told her, “Well, I don’t have any plans of buying washing machine any soon.

” As you can see, I wash with my hands. There’s nothing wrong with my hands. But if you want to have one, you’re free. And that was the only thing Kola said. In the next 24 hours, M bought a brand new washing machine and kept in the house. He also bought a water dispenser. Even though Cola called it unnecessary, he called it unnecessary and waste of money every day for 4 months because Cola drinks from the tap water.

Not until NEPA disappointed him. There was no light for 2 days and Cola drank four full cup from the dispenser without saying a single word. And since then he never called it unnecessary. Most importantly, Bipe was not staying there for free. Bipe paid part of her rent. For the beginning of the first 3 months, she told Ka that she would stay till when it extended to one year.

She transferred her own portion of the rent directly to him while he transferred the full amount to the landlord. Met deeply fell in love with Cola. With the way Cola was treating her, it they felt that Cola also loved her because they practically shared everything. Everything she was buying in apartments. She was buying it because she thought they were building a future and they need to arrange the place they are staying. Things were going well.

Mint would cook, would clean, would wash when she has chance. And Cola was enjoying for that past one year. He wasn’t even doing much. Only come back from work, eat, gist, enjoy the company of another person and go to bed. The next morning, the routine continued. But all of a sudden, one Sunday afternoon after church before lunch.

If you know anything about Lagos people after church, it’s perhaps the worst possible time for any serious conversation because everybody is hungry. Most times nobody eats before going to church. But whenever they come back, they have to find something to eat or to cook. But that day was the day Cola decided to have a conversation with Binbe.

Immediately they entered the house. Bi sat down to remove her heels. When call said to her, “I think we need to talk about the living condition and the living situation in this house.” B was confused. What about it? She asked Cola. Then Cola continued. Well, see, I think we moved too fast to we were shocked.

We moved too fast. as how explain see you are here all the time I feel like I don’t have space to breathe again in this house I need to be by myself for a season like let’s have some kind of gap or just let’s give ourselves space there was a very long silence from be a she was trying to process what color just said she asked him you want me to Leave.

Eh, not immediately. Oh, but I think we should make a plan. A plan? Yes. Cola replied. The whole thing was still surprising. Was too shocking to be a cola. Are you sure you are okay? Like, did something happen? Cola replied, “No, nothing happened.” B, I just need my space. But I pay my rent here. I decorated this house to be just befitting for the two of us to enjoy.

I don’t understand where is all of these things coming from. But Cola did not want to explain more. He only said he needed his space. Cola, because of the love I have for you, I bought this freezer. Because of you, I bought washing machine. I changed the cities in this house and the water dispenser. You drank from it every single day even though you called it unnecessary.

Everything I’ve gotten in this house, you would always complain whenever I want to get it. But immediately it lands in this house. You use it more than me. You wash clothes almost every day because you are still washing machine. You practically use my Wi-Fi for free for the past 1 year. I never asked you for a dime.

I thought we were building something. I thought we were in love. I also contributed for rent in this house. For the first 3 months, then extended to this one year, I still paid my rent. I’m not owing you. So what exactly is the plan? Because in my own understanding, the plan cannot be leave by next weekend or leave tomorrow.

I need my space when this apartment has my appliances inside it. Cola looked around the apartment slowly. He really looked at it maybe for the first time in many months. The curtain she has chosen, the fridge that no longer made spiritual sound. The dispenser, she had carried up those stairs herself.

He had been living in B’s test for almost a year without realizing it. Then caller made a statement. Bye, I got the space though, but what is in my name? Then B replied him. And Mr. Man, I bought everything inside the space. So which one is more important? The space or the things that make the space worth living in? It was as if Cola was trying to play a fast one on the way.

Despite all the decoration and things she bought in her name, Cola wants her to leave, leaving those things behind. As how? At least if you want to evict someone from your own apartment since you claimed you own it, you give the person space at least tell the person ahead of time a month or two then I’ll start looking for where to go.

Not you waking up one morning and felt like it’s time for me to leave. I need a space. As was still talking, Cola walked out on her angrily. He went inside his room and called his cousin Victor. Victor was the person Cola called whenever he needed validation before a difficult conversation.

And Victor told Cola he’s coming over. He should give him some minutes. And Victor arrived 40 minutes later with pepper soup he bought from a restaurant he wanted to come and enjoy with his brother. When Victor arrived, Cola immediately told him everything. Victor seems to be on the same boat with Cola.

Bro, this apartment is in your name. Simple. She has to respect that and give you space if you truly want the space. When Bigly heard that from the room, he had barely finished the sentence when he walked in immediately. Victor, I thought your brother called you here so that you can come and settle us peacefully. What do you mean the apartment is in your name? Simple.

She has to respect that. Did caller tell you he has been using my fridge I bought for 11 months? Then Victor made a ridiculous reply. Uhhuh. And so fridge is a household item now. It stays with the house. Big glared at him. Are you okay? My receipt says otherwise. You two think you can play a fast one on me, right? Victor looked at Cola.

Does she has receipt for the fridge? Cola replied quietly. Yes. So she has receipts for everything. She keep receipt for everything she bought. She bought it with her name. Now meanwhile when Cola called Victor B called Lola her friend. When Lola heard what B said. She became very angry. Lola was a type of friend who showed up to situations with her makeup properly done which in Lagos means she was ready for anything.

In fact, she’s a nononsense girl. It didn’t even take up to 30 minutes after Victor arrived. Lola landed. Immediately, she entered. She overheard Victor supporting Cola and she called out to him immediately. Victor, Victor, the popular brother. So, you came all the way from your house with pepper soup to come and enjoy someone’s drama in another person’s house.

Now you came here instead of you to use your head you are supporting evil. So if BA carried that fridge up the stairs herself paid for it and kept the receipt in what word does it become property because it is in his apartment. Victor then replied in a word of common sense tell her that she was buying those things for Cola. This is Cola’s apartment. He paid for it.

So everything inside here belongs to him. Wonderful, Lola replied. You people are the kind of people I love in my life. People that don’t use their common sense. In a word of common sense, Victor Cola should also have paid for the fridge, the washing machine, the cotton, the water dispenser, and one year of rent that was given to him before telling someone to leave.

Victor was confused. He looked at Cola. Did she also pay for rent? Yes, Cola confirmed. Immediately, Victor became more biased. Eh, see, nobody told you to do all that. Oh, nobody. Even if you call the landlord here, the only person the landlord will recognize as the owner of the apartment is Cola. As they were still arguing, Cola’s older sister Shade arrived.

It turns out Ka also called her elder sister because her elder sister is just like Ola who does not take rubbish and she like pork noosing in people’s affair. She loves where trouble is and that’s where you will find her. Immediately she landed. She didn’t even allow anybody to tell her what happened. She faced B even you as a woman. Bye.

You should not keep a man’s house this long without a ring. You should have made your intention known or ask the person you are living with how far how is our relationship going. You should know where you stand. You shouldn’t have made yourself too comfortable. You are the cause. Auntie Shade called her. Welcome Mo.

Since you stepped in here, you cannot greet anybody. I said make I greet you. This the issue we are talking about here about making myself comfortable or is it that I pay for the comfort and now someone wants me to leave and also leave the comfort behind? How is that possible? I know you did not ask anything. You just came in and barged inside the conversation.

You heard Victor and Lola arguing. I paid for the comfort. I paid for the fridge, the washing machine, everything that made this house look beautiful today. Then Lola started talking. I think you should calm down. Let me finish this conversation because we are dragging it too long. The more we drag with these people is as if we are doing them a favor and we don’t need that right now.

The truth is that Auntie Shade, Victor, and Cola, three of you should look at me properly. You will know that I’m a typical mad girl in Lagos. I don’t send anybody. Papa, you see the things my friend bought in this house. Every single thing she will pick it up and leave this house without drama. As for you, Cola, you’re going to give her time to find where to stay.

I don’t have space. If not, I would have told her to come and stay with me. I also have a flatmate and there is no way I want to inconvenience my flatmate like this. But as for Bimp, we are going to look for an apartment within 1 month. Why I said 1 month is because Lagos agents, house agents, they are crazy and I know what they can do.

So we’re going to calm down and look for an apartment. And you feel like cannot give her up to 1 month at least. Give her 2 weeks. And if you want to drag the matter past like this, oh boy, we go enter serious matter. We’re going to enter serious problem. we go get better issue. I just want to beg you in the name of the god that you worship.

I don’t know the one you do. Just please let’s settle this amicably or we settle it with war. Trust me, I don’t give a dime. Any hand you bring to me that the same hand I go use follow you. You know me color, you know me way back. I don’t need a prophet to tell you what I can do.

Even this your sister here Shade, she’s no match for me. All you have to do is here and now in front of all these people tell B how many weeks she has in this house before she leaves then we make preparation for it. Well me too I’m a cris person in case you don’t know replied don’t talk to me anyhow and don’t call me and be threatening me because h you have small connection see and be I want my peace.

I actually wanted her to leave this weekend. But there’s no problem. I’ll not be that heartless. I will only give you 7 days. 7 days. By this time next week, you have not left my house. If you come back and meet your things outside, don’t blame you. I will only give you 7 days out of the humanity in you.

And when you are leaving, don’t touch anything in this apartment. Not the freezer, not the washing machine. Don’t touch anything. As far as he’s in my apartment, it belongs to me. That is where two of us will have issue if you touch any ma started laughing. We’re a big joker. Seven days it is them. Girl, let’s go. Yah and we walked out of the apartment.

While outside faced me, you be you’re a big fool. How would you buy all those things inside someone’s house? Like how they swear for you. I thought we were in a relationship, girl. You know, I had the money. It’s not as if he’s a broke guy, but that guy hardly brings out money to spend on anything.

The wife in the house, everything belongs to me. I love him. And because of the way he was treating me, I thought he loved me, too. It’s not that I’m seeing the boy’s true color. He actually wants me to leave all the things I bought because of what? Because this is his apartment. Well, I will not agree. But Lola, how will I move out in 7 days? I don’t have anywhere to go.

Don’t worry yourself. You will not even stay up to 7 days. He once he goes to work by tomorrow morning, you will pack your things and get out of that house. I already wanted to call you to tell you that there’s this fine apartment I saw in my area. The people that left there, the Japa, they left the country. They travel to Canada. I mean location now.

Yes. And the house is vacant now. And you know Lagos before in a blink of an eye, someone will take that apartment. But I had to hold that apartment for you because I know the landlord and I’m in good ter with the woman. So we’re going to go there right now. You check that apartment out and if you love it, you pay for it.

You can now get a flat mate to share the apartment with you. If the two bedroom flat is too much for you to stay in as a single girl, that is all I can tell you. Let us go now. B did not even waste time. She followed Lola and they left. Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Chad was really disappointed at Cola.

Now, why for you Cola? So, you want to get someone’s else hard work just like that just because he’s in your apartment? I don’t really want to say something ugly in front of her or make her feel that she’s winning because you’re my brother. But why? You didn’t buy all those things. Why do you want to claim them? It’s not good though.

I will not advise you to do such a thing. Because if this lady wants to take up a legal action against you, call her. You not go win. Why? Because everything is on her name. the bank account, the money transferred from her name. The case not go even reach anywhere they will tell you to get out.

So please stop making a fool out of yourself. I know you’re trying to claim something that does not belong to you because you felt like you’ve used that and you want to dump her. Mr. Man, better hold that dignity you have small in this area. If not, that girl will drag it inside and I will not be here to save you. Yeah, I’m out of here.

And that was how Shad they left, but Victor was still encouraging the back character. Don’t mind how don’t mind her is women supporting women. M will not do anything. Make sure you claim it. Ah, if this girl carry everything oh boy see cold water to drink in this house with cold drink even washing machine, you can use your hand wash clothes.

So if I were you, clean it well. try a way to deceive her so that she will not go with anything. As Victor was still trying to convince Cola on what to do. Lola and B had already gotten to the apartment and B loved the apartment. They reached out to the land lady who came out told them the price and the woman told them everything they needed to pay for before moving in.

be pay immediately. Right there transferred the full money for the payment to the woman and told the woman she’ll be moving in the next day. The woman had no issue. She was even happy that Rola kept to her words and that was how Bimpley secured a very good apartment. That evening he called cleaners and they came and cleared up the apartment and put the apartment in order.

When Bitme got home that evening, she didn’t even talk to Cola again. She minded her business. She went inside the room she was staying and she started packing her things one after the other. She was packing it in a way that Cola would not know she was leaving the next day. He still felt like he was winning, not knowing that had already sorted herself out.

The next morning, Ola woke up, dressed up and left for work without saying any word to Bipe. And immediately he left. Bipe called Lola and she came over immediately with the van that they hired. That morning they moved out peacefully and Bip was able to carry her washing machine, her water dispenser. She removed the curtain she bought and replaced it with the one that was there before.

Her wife found everything. She removed it and peacefully said goodbye to the apartment. She locked the door and went straight to the neighbor, dropped the key with the neighbor and begged the neighbor to please give Cola the key when he comes back in the evening. By evening when Cola came back, the neighbor greeted him and gave him the key.

Cola was now confused how he got the key. The neighbor explained that it was Bipe that gave it to him. It was not the neighbor that told Cola that Bip had already moved out. He immediately rushed inside and true, Bipley had moved out and she moved out with everything she bought. Cola was so disappointed at himself.

The whole apartment felt so so lonely and quiet. The food he normally comes back to meet that he does not even contribute to because they did everything out of love was not there anymore. The rooms everywhere felt so empty. It was then done on him that oh I have really messed up because he knew there is no girl in this Lagos that will love him the way Bing loved him and will come inside the apartment and bought everything the same way Bing A was buying and decorating the house just to make it comfortable for the two of them.

It was then everything clear for eye like juju. He then started regretting. He immediately called bip may have blocked him everywhere. He couldn’t even reach her and bip dropped a little note that he should forget about her and never in his life call her again. While being moved on with her life at least next time she find herself in such a situation she would define her relationship with any man not just there enjoying.

Most men know how to use and dump. What do you learn from this story? Please tell me in the comment section. Besties share the story, give it a thumbs up and don’t forget to click that subscribe button. I will see you on the next interesting tale. Goodbye and God bless

The Empty Apartment: How One Woman Reclaimed Her Power After a Toxic Betrayal

 

Article:

 

In the sprawling, fast-paced city of Lagos, where life moves with a rhythm all its own, the story of Kola and Bimpe stands as a powerful testament to the necessity of boundaries, self-respect, and the cold reality of “reaping what you sow.” It began as a typical city romance: two neighbors, a developer and a graphic designer, drawn together by proximity and need. What started as an act of kindness—Kola begging to use Bimpe’s internet connection—blossomed into a year-long relationship that would ultimately become a lesson in the dangers of losing oneself in the pursuit of someone else’s comfort.

 

Kola was a backend developer, highly skilled in his profession but remarkably lacking in emotional intelligence. He lived a bachelor’s life, content and somewhat stagnant, until Bimpe entered his world. Bimpe was the opposite—vibrant, kind, and immensely proactive. She didn’t just occupy space; she enhanced it. When she moved into Kola’s apartment after her own landlord began renovations, she didn’t just come as a house guest. She came as a partner who believed they were building a future.

 

Throughout the months they lived together, Bimpe was the lifeblood of the home. When the fridge began to make a distressing sound, she didn’t wait for Kola to fix it; she measured the space, went to the market, and bought a new one. When doing laundry became a chore that disrupted her work, she bought a washing machine. She added a water dispenser to the home, bought curtains, and ensured the space was truly a home rather than just a house. She even meticulously transferred her share of the rent to Kola, ensuring she wasn’t just a dependent but a contributor.

 

For a year, Kola enjoyed the benefits of Bimpe’s generosity. He came home to good food, a clean house, and the comfort of appliances he hadn’t spent a dime on. He became accustomed to a life where he didn’t have to worry about the logistics of his existence. But, as often happens when one person does all the emotional and financial labor, Kola grew complacent and entitled. He began to view Bimpe’s contributions not as acts of love, but as the standard of his life.

 

The turning point came on a seemingly ordinary Sunday afternoon. After returning from church, Kola decided it was time to change their “living situation.” With the casual cruelty of someone who hasn’t considered the consequences of his words, he told Bimpe he needed his “space.” He wanted her out. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the year she had poured into their shared life, and no gratitude for the home she had helped build.

 

The silence that followed was heavy with the weight of realization. Bimpe was not just a guest; she was the architect of his domestic comfort. She reminded him of the fridge, the washing machine, the water dispenser, and the curtains—all bought with her own money, all registered in her name, and all essential to the life he had been living. When Kola tried to play a “fast one,” claiming that everything inside his apartment belonged to him because it was his house, he hit a wall of reality. Bimpe had receipts. She had tracked every penny, every purchase, and every contribution.

 

Kola’s attempts to gain validation from his cousin, Victor, only exacerbated the situation. Victor, an enabler of Kola’s selfishness, argued that because the apartment was in Kola’s name, he owned everything within it. It was a laughable assertion that ignored both legal and moral common sense. The situation escalated when Kola’s sister, Shade, joined the fray, adding to the toxic environment. But then, Bimpe’s friend, Lola, arrived—the “no-nonsense” force that Bimpe needed.

 

Lola’s intervention was swift and decisive. She saw the situation for exactly what it was: a man trying to discard a woman while keeping the spoils of her generosity. She gave them a simple ultimatum: Bimpe would leave, but she would take every single thing she had bought. She wouldn’t be bullied, and she wouldn’t leave behind the comforts she had provided for a man who didn’t appreciate them.

 

The next few days were a masterclass in preparation. While Kola went to work, confident that he had “won,” Bimpe was already moving on. With Lola’s help, she secured a new apartment and arranged for a van to move her belongings. By the time Kola returned home, the transition was complete. The fridge was gone. The washing machine was missing. Even the curtains had been stripped away.

 

Walking into that apartment, Kola was hit by the crushing silence of his own making. The “spiritual distress” of the old fridge was gone, replaced by the much worse silence of regret. He was left with his apartment, yes, but he had lost the person who had made it a home. He realized, perhaps for the first time, that he had never really loved Bimpe; he had loved the convenience she provided. And that convenience was now gone.

 

The story of Bimpe and Kola is not just about a breakup; it is about the cost of ingratitude. It is a lesson for anyone who believes they can treat their partner like a utility rather than a person. For Bimpe, it was a painful but necessary awakening. She learned that while love is a beautiful thing, it must be balanced with self-respect. She defined her boundaries, reclaimed her property, and walked into a new life—one where she would never again be taken for granted.

 

As for Kola, he remained in an apartment that was technically his, but in every other way, it was empty. He had tried to play a fast one, to keep the comforts of a life he didn’t want to work for, and he ended up losing everything that mattered. It is a cautionary tale that resonates deeply: do not mistake kindness for weakness, and do not mistake a partner’s devotion for an eternal right. Because in the end, when the receipts are tallied, the person who gave everything is often the one who leaves with their dignity, while the one who took everything is left with nothing but an empty house.
