As a woman, I get approached each day by men—some of them call it ‘HOLLA’.
Personally, I do not like a lot of attention and therefore any ‘HOLLA’ makes in a little uncomfortable, especially if I am alone.
It is understandable that a cutie like me will pull in the attention and the ‘HOLLA’ will never stop, something I have unwillingly accepted. But I hate it when this ‘HOLLA’ is done the wrong way.
Some men are just childish—better, they do not even know how to get a woman to listen to them. I have seen and heard it all. Some of the lines are so absurd like ‘Can I eat you out like you are my last food before I die?’
Mostly, I am not offended by the lines if it is said to me only. After all, I am the only one hearing it. But I hate it when a guy makes a fool out of himself, thinking he is embarrassing me or probably making the best move ever.
I mean when someone stands so far and shouts—HEY HEY HEY! In such instances, I do not blink an eye, let alone turn to look.
Even if you are Denzel Washington and you ‘HOLLA’ at me this way, I will not mind you…
I have seen it all; my recent worst ‘HOLLA’ was a badly dressed man who kept clapping to get my attention. And he followed me, thinking I will probably stop.
After I ignored him, he started insulting me…Pretty silly.
Sometimes, men even HORN at you, as if you are an animal in the middle of the road.

This is how Nigerians approach a girl:
– baby I have all the goat meat you can cook
– The holy spirit revealed you to me in my dream last night
– you are the malaria in my blood
– you are the butter on my bread thee honey in my tea
