Okafor's law

Apologies to the non Naija among you
Okafor's law is a well known(??) Nigerian truism
Rough translation : You can always end up having sex with an old partner if you (ahem) had previously satisfied the partner's 'needs'
For awon boys and girls you no say I no fit yarn de propa ting for internet
Now I do not know who Okafor was, nor why his 'law' has such gravitas still
I wonder did Okafor have a string of ex's whom he kept going back to purely because of his prowess
Or was Okafor simply unable to resist the advances of an old flame
Now needless to say there is the potential for significant fallout from such actions
A scene from vanilla sky springs to mind where Cameron Diaz is in the car with Tom Cruise and she says:
"Don't you know that when you sleep with someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not... Four times... it means something, David"

Now this demonstrates the danger of erm being too good especially when going back to an ex partner and for those who saw this movie you know what happens next
So perhaps there should be corollary to Okafor's law such as:
never sleep with said exes more than a couple of times each without strict contract/guidelines which all parties sign up to,for fear of unexpected emotional backlash .
or at the very least when you do so ,dont be as good as you once where and just go for yours (not something most men have difficulty with).
Failing that leave immediately post coitous, change your address,phone #,email, job etc

At the end of the day though the question has got to be asked why are you still going back to your ex partner(s)?
