Those who have heard this phrase or who have entered into this form of pact will wonder what this guy is talking about on this topic. But for those who are lost, I will start by telling us the meaning of the pact according to the Oxford advanced student’s dictionary: a pact can be defined as a promise to someone or a legal agreement.
With this understanding of what the covenant means, you can now get into your mind the meaning of a blood covenant. The blood pact can be defined as a blood promise between two people, in which both of them pierce their thumbs to draw blood, either by joining their bleeding thumbs or by licking the blood from the thumb of the other couple, making a promise (in most of the cases, men). and women who are lovers) to always be together and not get involved with any other individual and if any of the involved individuals go off the rails then they curse themselves as the failed party goes mad, impotence, sterility and the rest.
The blood pact was much practiced in the days of our ancestors by lovers to stay committed to each other, due to the fear that the lovers would be separated by the choices of the parents of a richer couple, mainly for their daughters. Unfortunately, most people might think that this practice must be extinct, but I must say that it may surprise some of our esteemed readers that some of our energetic young men and women still engage in this barbaric practice.
Someone out there might say that the blood covenant is an expression of true love. But I will say that it is myopic thinking because if a man and a woman truly and wholeheartedly love each other, then I wonder why they would end up going for a blood pact. Taking that step shows a lack of mutual trust because two people who truly love each other will not result in an oath that puts a misguided lover’s life in jeopardy.
Someone else out there might say, ‘Oh boy, do you see wahala, oh, we care about this guy?’ I will tell you how it worries me about a month ago, a cousin of mine in Aba met a girl in Abia polytechnic, they were talking for weeks and it got to the point that the girl has to visit the boy at home. He sent the girl the description of the house where he lives (the house was not really his; he was pretending to be my room in a flat that he shared with a friend). When the girl arrived, she was a pretty young girl about 5’5 tall with a low neckline that matched her tank top and sexy low-rise jean. ‘Wow’, I whispered when I was introduced to chioma, that exclamation came without my intention, that’s just to tell you how beautiful she was.
After the presentation, I found an excuse to leave them alone, I went to a bar a few blocks from my apartment to have a bottle of Guinness with another cousin of mine. After about an hour my mobile phone rang and my cousin (obinna) begged me to go upstairs, me and my other cousin (chibuzor) ran upstairs. I knocked on my door and obinna opened the door, a porn movie was showing on my 21 inch Samsung flat screen TV. My guy was dressed in his Tommy Hilfiger camo boxers and the girl was in her bedding still intact and her hair messy.
‘What’s happening?’ It was the only thing my mouth could say. ‘Brothers, come to this girl, oh, after flirting with me for two weeks, she finally came to show herself, na he tells her to make us get laid, you know when she tells me?’ ‘I did not answer. ‘She tells me that she says that she made a blood pact with her boyfriend in Lagos and that if she tries something with me, she will go kolo. Boy, I know you believe in this nonsense. I only call you because I say I left your house, oh, because if na my crib, I’m going to do and whatever happens, make it happen.
I told her to leave the girl alone and when they both got dressed, the girl came to thank me for how I intervened and said she wanted to get my mobile number. I gave him my mobile number and told him that I was very disappointed. a young and educated girl like her will be involved in it, she was very open about her disappointment with herself and she claims that she is frustrated. She says that she wants to be in a new relationship, but the blood oath she has sworn has always haunted her and she says that she is tired of the boy she was in the pact with, and that the distance between them is making things worse. .
She left that day without taking advantage because I was there to discourage my cousin from being ungentlemanly, if I had encouraged it perhaps chioma could have drawn punishment for his breach of the pact. Chioma might have been lucky, but it could be someone else who might not be as lucky as her. As Chioma said that she is tired of the relationship and wants to date but how does she do it? I think there are as many women as Chioma in this blood oath business.
The negative effect of the blood oath is immeasurable. Young lovers should not put their lives at risk because they want to show a guy or girl that you love them. Time changes and the boy or girl that you think is your life may not be your life anymore in two years but a normal boy and you may have met someone you really love and want to spend the rest of your life with. your life. realizing that what you felt for the other guy was just part of youthful lust.
People should also use their heads with their hearts while in a relationship and should also remember that nothing lasts forever. You can get into a relationship and take a blood oath with a guy or a girl and for a long time the guy or the girl temporarily lose their lives and that puts the other party in a difficult position in their new relationship. Even when he or she gets married, they cannot have children in their married life.
The blood pact is not advisable for young people and I personally see it as a barbaric way of showing love because ironically it shows hate.
