Nigerian Woman Reacts After Estranged Husband Accused Her Of Marrying Another Man And Pregnant For Him While Still Legally Married To Him
A Nigerian woman, Fortune Adaobi Okechukwu, has broken her silence to the bigamy allegation levelled against her by her estranged husband, Anthony Echebiri.
Echebiri, a staff of NSCDC, had accused Adaobi of abandoning him and their three daughters to get married to another man while still legally married to him.
He also claimed that Adaobi is currently pregnant for her alleged new husband, a situation which he said has left him devastated.
“NEWS OF MY WIFE SECRETLY GETTING MARRIED AND PREGNANT FOR ANOTHER MAN WHILE STILL LEGALLY MARRIED TO ME CAN BE QUITE DEVASTATING!,”
he wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
He also alleged that she disowned their daughters. In his words:
“OH GOD, have your way and fight for me and my adorable daughters whom she has disowned. I will not fight this battle; it is your fight, Oh Lord of vengeance!”
However Echebiri’s post drew mixed reactions online. While many people sympathized with his plight, others, mostly women, expressed their unwavering support to his estranged wife, with most praising her for taking a bold step by leaving an ‘unhappy marriage’
The reactions of the women were as a result of a previous post Echebiri made last year seemingly in support of polygamy.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Echebiri expressed dismay over the reactions of Nigerian women to his plight. He wrote:
“Sequel to my post of yesterday where I cried out to the world of the ill treatment meted out to me by my lawfully-wedded wife Okechukwu Fortune Adaobi I realised that our society has seemingly lost it.
Over 90% of ladies wore their sexist shoes on a default mode without recourse to the peculiarities of the post. At that point, my devastation of being cheated on ceased abruptly.
However a new kind of devastation set in, that is, that society has rendered most of our ladies so vengeful and bereft of human conscience.
Nonetheless, I join no issues with any biased folk(s). My previous shared post was never in support of Yul Edochie. I only vocalised our forefathers’ history with polygamy in that very post originally made by one lady… I never mentioned Yul Edochie, let alone endorse that men should snatch people’s wives.
Moreover, the said post was only made towards the end of 2023 in my wilderness days when I had already stayed almost two years with my kids alone, being that my wife left me since April 24, 2022.
So you all can see my stance on polygamy, clearly. The post was made long after she left. And, I never encouraged any man to snatch another’s wife.
If you are getting married to a woman, make sure she is not married at the time, that is my position. I NEVER ENDORSED SNATCHING OF WIVES…It is criminal and must go with severe consequences.
So, O you Feminists of our time! Go on, misconstrue me, ruminate that which you device in your vile hearts; in fact get orgasmic while binging on my post for as much as you deem fit for your happiness. At least, I am healing you all of your acute depression by my post, free of charge.
I wish everyone reading my post a beautiful home now for the married, and in the future for intending couples in Jesus’ name. Amen!!! God bless you all.”
Reacting to the allegation in a Facebook post on Saturday, November 23, she prayed never to find a man that would love her if she had truly left her estranged husband despite him treating her well.
“If Mr A loved, cared and treated Ms F well and she left, may Ms F never see a man that will love, care and treat her like Mr A ….. Iseeeeeeeee,”
she wrote.
