Its not a Nigerian Thing.Its an individual thing cheesy
Lol,it has nothing to do with our culture or race,its just a personal thing.its not even encouraged in Nigeria as a matter of fact,a greater percentage of Nigerians frown at it.
Then when it was quite popular,it was a means of checking and controlling unfaithfulness in relationships.For me,its for losers and the insecure and i wud never be part of it. . . .why be in a relationship when theres no trust
Generally,its almost non-existing now.
BTW,did u just take an oath or planning to do so?
