Nigerian Mum-Of-5 Tells Painful Story Of Spousal Abandonment: ‘My Husband Left With Everything In The House’
A Nigerian mother of five, Chioma Akwuobi, has narrated how her husband allegedly walked out of their marriage with all the household items including the bed, mattress, clothes and even pots.
The woman narrated her story while reacting to the painful tale of another Nigerian woman, Mercy Kalu Ebe, who claimed she was dumped by her husband after years of supporting him financially and funding his lifestyle.
Sharing her own story, Chioma wrote:
“Man carried fridge Una dey complain. Mine carried my whole bed and mattress plus everything in the house down to pots! Till today I never still buy bed or chairs,” she wrote.
While my kids sleep on mat, I lay on the floor! Every gaddem night For 5 years and counting because I will rather pay school fees than spend 85k to buy mattress.
Some of you are doubting that story because you married angels, wait till the devil prepares one of his sons for you.
Most of you knew when I reconnected my house, dude tore out all electric cables which meant I had to rewire the entire house from scratch.
Nigerian fashionI put my story here as I progress because you were part of it from the beginning and while some of you think I tell these stories to get pity, I want you to know that it has been one of my coping mechanism otherwise I wouldn’t have survived this.
I started from scratch, from zero…..one of the reasons I can’t post my pots, I have just two! We cook, pour out and start again….dude went with everything including clothes! Umu Ejima thought I had uniform not knowing that was all I had.
Same Chioma that had all utensils and pot sets? Same me! Went back to ground zero and had those I have fed kick and toss me about.
Single mothers don’t tell their stories enough. Right now, my concern is to mop up funds so Ada M’s admission won’t be a problem when the time comes, not even mattress and the eediot is somewhere sleeping in comfort while I dread the dark because I will have to lay on the cold floor.
I believe Mercy’s story My husband left with the bed, mattress, electric cables, pots, clothes – Another Nigerian woman shares her story of spousal abandonment, my only worry is if she has sorted the victims of the food thrift scam. I am still that proud #motherof5nations
My husband left with the bed, mattress, electric cables, pots, clothes – Another Nigerian woman shares her story of spousal abandonment: few weeks after we got back from the village, who born me to use gas, as I’m coming back from supplying Peanuts and sugar, I am gathering woods and putting inside bacco.
I bath with detergent, see my hair na, my daughter hasn’t started learning so where did I see money to make hair?
David took this shot and when he showed me, I cried because I couldn’t recognize myself again.”
