Ghanaian filmmaker Habiba Sinare has recently shared a rather awkward and perplexing personal story that has captured attention on social media. The incident revolves around an unexpected encounter with the husband of one of her close friends, which has since led to some uncomfortable interactions.
The Restaurant Encounter That Changed Everything
In a detailed Facebook post made on Friday, January 23, 2026, Habiba Sinare, who is married to a Nigerian man, recounted the moment she spotted her friend's husband at a restaurant. He was not alone; he was accompanied by another lady. As a polite and respectful individual, Habiba decided to approach them and offer a simple greeting.
She wrote in her post, "I met one of my close friend's husband at a restaurant with another lady and I went over to say hello... like a good, humble and respectful human being will." Little did she know that this brief interaction would set off a chain of events that would leave her feeling bewildered and exhausted.
From Casual Greeting to Unwanted 'Bestie' Status
Since that day, the man's behavior towards Habiba has undergone a dramatic shift. He has inexplicably elevated her to the status of his "bestie," a term of endearment that she finds both forced and inappropriate. Every time he sees her now, he greets her with exaggerated enthusiasm, using phrases like "eiii my bestiee has come oo" or "eii bestieee you don't ask of me at all."
This is often followed by a loud, seemingly endless laugh that only adds to the awkwardness of the situation. Habiba expressed her frustration in her post, noting that the man now insists on being present whenever she plans to meet her friend for meals, whether it's lunch, brunch, or dinner.
Seeking Understanding and Relief
In her candid revelation, Habiba posed a question to her followers and the public at large: "Help me understand this man oo or is he a fan now? I am tired of this by force bestieee thing all because of one helloooo at a restaurant." Her words highlight the discomfort and confusion she feels, as what was meant to be a simple, courteous gesture has spiraled into an ongoing social dilemma.
This story sheds light on the complexities of social interactions and the unintended consequences that can arise from seemingly innocent encounters. It also touches on themes of boundaries and respect within friendships and relationships.
