This pamphlet makes several revelations. It is very interesting and wonderful. It is the first and best of its kind.

It a guide for all boys and men in general. It is a pamphlet that everybody should read for information,advice, wisdom and mental entertainment.

N. O. NJOKU, (The Author)

What are Girl’s Love towards Boys?

Girls love towards boys is only, to eat them and get their needs from them, mostly to get clothes and money because with out clothes girls can not be regarded.

Infact, apart from natural beauty of a girls appearance and dressing I can say that all girls are one, whether tall or short because they have the same natural body and shape no one with double sex.

There, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, men and women those who are interested in love marking and friendship. Don’t love because of cushion chairs and iron beds or wealth. For such is not natural love.

There are some ladies and girls who are fond of that by going to a boy or a man’s house telling him, I love you there by snatching every penny from him. They like to sit on cushion chairs and drink the man’s money, as they are drinking they are demanding shoes and other costly things from the person. If the person fails to meet up, they run forty-forty, from the person.

What Girls Like to Get from Boys

Girls of this time are girls with bad fashion of manner. They like to make friends with boys but the very motive behind their desire to make friends with boys is most regrettable. What does our girls need from boys and men in general ? And what does boys need from girls and women in general? Girls need money, cloth, sweet, gold, wrist watch, etc., from boys and men in general. But boys do not need much from girls and women. They need only love and sincerity from women.

Girls like to dupe boys and men. This has made boys to lose confidence in their so-called “Sweethearts’ No reasonable boy trusts his girl friend at this bad time time of dishonesty, insincerity, jealousy and wickedness.

Who are those that girls like? In my opinion, those people are Car owners, top Civil servants notable business men and other people in high and recognised profession.

Do girls like ruck pushers, load-carriers, labourers and other people in petty jobs? Girls do not like this people because they can’t meet up with their frequent demands.

Begging of Money

One of the numerous deplorable things which our girls do, is begging our boys money especially at Bazaars. This is very bad. It induces some of our boys to steal from people in order to buy things for girls at Bazaars. Girls like to attend Bazaars

The Life of Girls

Let us look into the life of girls. A boy who is born the same day with a girl shall be stronger than the girl but the girl shall be more diplomatic and cunning than the boy. When a girl likes you, you shall not know because she shall pretend as if she dislikes you. A girl can resist an attraction of a boy but a boy will hardly resist the attraction of a girl.

Girls are Pretenderrs

Girls and women in general, are pretenders. They are diplomatic and trickish. They will see men they like but instead of showing that they like men, they take off their eyes and pass. They will want the men to approach them first. Our boys are too weak in resisting girl’s attractions. Whenever a boy sees a girl he likes, he starts at that spot to show the girl that he likes her too much. He cannot just pretend that he dislikes the girl. It is because of this weakness of our boys in resisting the attraction of the girls that have made the girls to be bluffing and duping our boys.

My Advice to Young Boys

  1. Please my dear fellow men let me tell you the money which you will give to harlots you better use it for dressing or to use it to for food because giving it to them has no profit rather you loose your money and energy.
  2. Infact, they are butterflies and we are their flowers. They can come and suck us at any time they feel like doing so, not minding us whether we are dying or not.
  3. Another thing is this, however a woman is rich unless she gets a penny from a man she will never be satisfied in her life. You know women are pests and they are bent on sucking the men untill he becomes tired if he doesn’t take care.
  4. When will it be good for us to marry? Now listen. It is not good for us to marry at a very old age, and at the youngest age. Really we should marry at the ripe age so that we may enjoy the benefit of marriage.
  5. It is good for us to marry between the age of thirty to thirty-five years, by that time we might have got some dresses and some few shillings to manage the family.
  6. Really to marry an expensive lady is a risk because the woman can never think of helping the man in any way at-all. Rather she will be interested at remaining in the house from morning till night because her husband has money and can maintain her very well.
  7. Of course, really, women are very fond of pride also with their sweet mouths and beauty are, just like dead bodies of which if you keep on crying according to how they keep their faces, you will be tired of crying.

LOVE LETTERS

Let us read some love letters being written by our girls and boys. The first letter reads thus:-

Beatrice Okoye, Sacred Heart School, Okija. 21st Noy. 1960.

My dear Sweetheart,

As I have occasionally told you that you are my dearest as far as love is concerned, it is my hope that you will appreciate this word. Please my sweetheart the Xmas. is fastly coming, and I have nothing to celebrate it. I would be grateful if you could purchase me one beautiful hand watch and size 6 “Lama” shoe from Bata Shoe Company. This shoe is the latest model. It cost £3 : 15s 0d (three pounds fifteen shillings)

I hope my dearest, that you will try to buy these things for me. Other boys have been begging me to tell them my needs for them to buy them for me. I bluntly refused to tell them because. I know they are coming for friendship. I have believed in you and no other person in spite df big offers gift from other boys.

Yours, most affectionate, “Beaty”

Comment: The above is a very bad letter. Where will the boy written this letter get the money to buy ail these things for Beatrice Okoye. The boy himself is a school boy but the girl fails to realise this.

Here is the second letter from a girl-student to her boyfriend. The girl is Mabel Obiageli Uchendu. She writes to Boniface Odita.

Federal Grammar School, Lagos 22nd January, 1961.

My dearest Bonny, POCKET MONEY

I am badly in-need of pocket money, please send me five pounds as quickly as possible. Last time you promised me “heaven and earth” but no single one you did fulfil. You see I don’t want such a thing. If you could send me this £5 (five pounds), I will forgive you for the unfulfilled promise. I want to hear from you at the earliest time.

Yours, “You know”

Mabel Obiageli Uchendu.

The next letter is the reply of Boniface Odita to his girlfriend, Mabel Obiageli Uchendu. His letter reads.

St. Augustine Grammar School, P. O. Box 18, Ogidi, E. Nigeria, 30th January, 1961.

My dearest Mabel,

I have received your letter dated the 22nd January, 1961, but regret to inform you that I have no money to give you. The sum of £5 ( five pounds) is too much and I cannot afford it.
