What the Scorpion and the Frog Teaches Nigerian Men About Trust
There’s a famous fable: a scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. Midway, the scorpion stings the frog, dooming them both, and says, “It’s my nature.” Many Nigerian men find themselves as that frog. A woman seems sweet, you support her school fees, bills, business and dreams. You believe she’s different, yet one day she betrays your trust without warning. This isn’t bad luck or coincidence. It’s a warning: when you invest heavily without mutual commitment, you risk being used. True loyalty grows where both partners sacrifice and support each other equally.
