“There are 2 many people on here who know the truth about my marriage, from @Tund3_ to @eggheader. I endured it hoping for peace but… the spouse who collects child support above what the law stipulates but states otherwise in public just because men are bad Or the numerous false financial claims which I have to come to know about. The whole going public was to shut me down from speaking, now I am past that. Spent the last 13 months going from police to courts.

I have never been arrested or detained for a minute, I dropped charges against the spouse to not have to do this. Yet I am falsely accused. On one of those days of my physical abuse, I did have audio recordings in the house in case I did not make it. Someone would know how I died.

Those audios will be shortly on my YouTube channel. I am back to the courts but this time I won’t be holding back. Gone me are the days I almost stepped in front of the bus to end it or dread going home after work because of what I was going through at home.

Where do I start from? Was it the mother in-law who slapped me 18 times or the spouse who broke a bottle on me or the days I slumped at home. I realize that it would have just been Rosanwo is a nice guy if I had passed on. 1 min silence and life goes on.

Or the days when I had to call for help, Pastor to come and save me from the hands of the woman I claim to love. At the end of the day, the truth will prevail. I will no longer enable my abuser to use this space.

I don’t have a marriage but I have 2 sons, survived DV & I am still breathing. Now time to put all the numerous allegations to rest. When my sons are of age, if God does not spare me long life, they will be able to read this and the court papers. Marriages fail however one does not have to fail with it.”

However, Rosanwo’s wife, a Nigerian, who is also an Irish citizen, replied, saying that her estranged hubby manipulated her into marriage so he could get resident’s permit in the UK.

She added that Rosanwo had a child with another woman in Nigeria, and claimed she over heard Rosanwo’s aunt telling him that he should leave her (Mariam) since he had gotten his papers.

She also claimed that Rosanwo decided to claim Domestic Violence because the UK constitution gives him the right to remain the country if his claims are true.

She added that she bears 95% of the cost of their child’s upbringing.
