Former beauty queen, Iheoma Nnadi, has written to women in abusive marriages or relationships.
Iheoma, who is the wife of footballer, Emmanuel Emenike, shared the message while reacting to the tragic death of wife of celebrity auto dealer, IVD, who passed away on October 15 due to domestic violence.
IVD and his late wife, Bimbo, had been entangled in a series of domestic violence during their marriage which eventually led to Bimbo’s death.
Iheoma said Bimbo’s death should be an encouragement for women in abusive marriages to save themselves from the same fate.
She noted that lack of self love is one of the reasons women stay in abusive marriages, adding that it’s better to be in a place where one is loved.
She then advised women to walk away from abusive marriages before it takes their precious lives.
She wrote:
“I can’t believe it truly end in this though it was so glaring it would eventually end in death. I pray for your family and especially kids Bimbo.
May God wrap you around his arms and comfort you for the years of pain, unease, battering and sorrow. May you have eternal peace now. You are loved.
Is it not better to be in a place where you are loved and cared for than to be in a place where you are constantly beaten, battered of insulted?
This self love thing is not being talked about enough. SELFLOVE will save you from taking a lot of ill treatment.
Learn to understand and know when your partner does not love you anymore. Learn to know whent to take your L in peace and move on for true happiness to reign again.
I hope this will be a learning point for people who are currently in this situation and have refused to leave!
Have refused to stand up and say enough is enough.. have refused to love themselves first.
