Josephine Adeh, spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, took on an unexpected role as a relationship expert on Saturday, advising men to stop breaking their lovers’ hearts.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Adeh, a Superintendent of Police (SP), decried the increasing frequency of men leading women on, only to disappoint them.
“It’s distasteful to lead a woman on and then break her heart. The rate at which men are doing this is saddening,” she wrote.
Adeh revealed that she had been receiving numerous calls from distressed women sharing their relationship failures.
“Most of the calls I receive these days are from women sharing their experiences in tears. Men, please, don’t start a relationship if you don’t want anything serious.”
The post quickly garnered a lot of attention on social media, with various comments, likes, and shares reflecting a mix of support and critique.
One user, @austinNotJayJay, commented: “We do tell them our intentions nah them Dey start seriousness.”
@kinsgley_ukoma added humorously: “Police turn to relationship coach. Abi na engagement u dey farm?”
Another user, @Brightgoldenboy, offered a broader perspective: “I feel women get into relationships with too much expectation. Most women are not ready to invest in men. Already made men. And secondly, if you are in a relationship with a Yahoo boy, forget it, you are single. Meanwhile, you know I can’t break your heart sha.”
On a critical note, @BigSam442275721 remarked: “Most women of nowadays just want to reap where they didn’t sow. Imagine! All of them want to marry Davido, Kid Waya, Seyi Tinubu, Wizkid, etc. Awon alaileko omo. Most of these rich men’s kids’ mothers married their husbands when these men had nothing.”
Adeh’s post underscores the emotional toll that relationship issues can take and reflects her commitment to addressing societal issues beyond her official duties.
