“He is lucky the meal did not purge him” — Lady jokes after secretly helping male friend who stopped replying to messages
A Nigerian woman has shared how she tried to support a male friend who had become withdrawn by quietly arranging for him to receive bottled water after noticing an unusual change in his drinking habits.
The woman explained that her friend had recently stopped responding to messages regularly and repeatedly insisted that he was fine whenever she asked what was wrong.
Concerned about him, she visited his house to check on him and share a meal. Although they talked during the visit, she sensed that he was not ready to discuss whatever was bothering him.
How she noticed her friend’s unusual situation
According to the woman, she noticed something as she prepared to leave his house. His C-way bottled water had run out, but a bag of sachet water was sitting nearby.
She explained that her friend would never willingly drink sachet water, making the discovery a possible sign that something was not right.
Rather than confront him or wait for him to ask for assistance, she contacted the neighbour who sold C-way water and quietly paid for three bottles to be delivered to his house.
Her friend called the following morning to thank her for the gesture, but his response to the meal she had prepared provided an unexpected twist.
Friend’s complaint about her cooking sparks laughter
The woman revealed that her friend told her, “You gats learn how to cook this thing well.”
She interpreted his blunt comment as an encouraging sign that he was beginning to feel better, joking that the exchange was a win-win situation.
However, she also laughed at the possibility of being criticised over her cooking after sharing the story.
She added that her friend was fortunate the meal had not caused him to purge, insisting that she had done her best.
The account highlights how small acts of kindness can communicate concern and support, even when someone is unwilling to discuss what they may be going through.
