Chinedu is the perfect boyfriend. A ladies man, and probably the only guy that Amaka never disappoints. Usually sweet, sensible, smart, full of charisma, loving, teasing and naughty. He is a no-nonsense person and someone you could count on. His loyalty is never in question.
A guy that is outgoing and friendly. Everyone knows of him but he keeps very few close friends. He can be a really shy person at first, might take some time for you to get to know him, but once you become friends, you'll never regret it.
A bit annoying sometimes but in a good way. He is crazy and fun to be with. He can make you laugh all day. He seems brave, but a very sensitive guy.
Chinedu strives to do things for the better, hardly selfish, observant and family oriented. Once you find a Chinedu you'll love him always. Absolutely amazing guy.

A term Nigerians often use to justify their tiredness or hesitance to do more than they have already done. A phrase that has become a handy excuse for lazy people.
The phrase however, is the first portion of the refrain in a famous song by Timaya with the same name. The song insidiously grows on you, crawls into your ears and lays musical eggs in your brain.
