Man Follows Girlfriend To University For Love, Ends Up Heartbroken As She Dates A 400L Student

• A Nigerian student chose his university based on his girlfriend.
• He made this decision while still in secondary school (SS3).
• The intention was to maintain their relationship after graduation.

A Nigerian student has sparked emotional reactions across social media after revealing he selected his university solely because of his girlfriend only to discover she is now dating someone else.

In a post that quickly went viral, the young man shared that he made the decision while still in SS3, hoping to keep his relationship alive after secondary school.

“I chose this school because my girlfriend planned to come here,” he wrote. “At first, I thought I wouldn’t get admitted, but I did. Now she has a boyfriend in 400 level, and I’m just here focusing on my education.”

His candid confession struck a chord online, with many sympathizing with his heartbreak and disappointment. While some users comforted him, others treated the situation as a hard lesson about prioritizing one’s future over emotional attachments.

One commenter teased, “You followed her for love, she followed senior man for lunch,” highlighting the irony of his experience.

Others encouraged the student to move on and stay focused. “Make the guy concentrate on his career abeg; that girl fit later drop out,” another user advised.

However, not all responses were kind. Some criticized his decision, describing it as immature. “He shouldn’t be called a man yet he’s still learning what love really means,” one comment read.

Despite the mixed reactions, many Nigerians used the viral post as an opportunity to stress the importance of self-growth and ambition. Several encouraged the young man to redirect his energy toward academic and personal success.

As one commenter summed it up: “Focus on yourself, make money, and chase your dreams. That’s the best revenge success attracts everything else.”

The story has since become a trending topic online, sparking broader discussions about how youthful love can influence major life choices, particularly in education and career decisions.
