Wife of the Enugu State Governor, Clara Chime, has finally broken her silence in an exclusive interview with Channels Television, as she recounted her ordeal in the hands of her husband.
As Governor Sullivan Chime’s wife, she was in the public eye for about 5years. She has however been in the news recently because of the controversy surrounding her life in the Government House of Enugu State.
Things fell apart when she reached out to some members of the human right community and legal practitioner, Femi Falana, to save her from her husband.
Her appeal generated reactions from Nigerians and the civil society with several accusations, most of which bothered on unlawful detention and violence against women, given the physical and psychological suffering she was reported to be facing.
In this exclusive video, while recounting her experience, she also debunked claims that she had mental problem.
She said: “I suffered from depression and the treatment I got from my husband led to it.”
She also thanked Nigerians for coming to her rescue, expressing her joy that she is “now liberated.”
*sigh*
Thank God she is getting better.

ReplyDeleteApparently, reactive depression is short term and related to situations in one's life unlike clinical which is often a chemical imbalance and much more severe and long term. #lmadegooglemyfriend.
Big lessons for young girls....before you marry any man who is twice your senior and once married do ur research wella....chime na snoop doggie.......
ReplyDeleteNa wa, and some will say they will die there, it's their husband's house. Some men can't change, once a sadist always a sadist. Pray and watch the bible says but there are times you need to pick race for your peace of mind. Jesus himself hid from Herod until Herod died, no be say he couldn't kill Herod but to show us Yoruba proverb (moja mosa la fin mo akikanju logun) decode this.
ReplyDeleteLol @ moja mosa. Moja mosa ni aiye yi oh. (Copy that).

ReplyDeleteDepression is a very serious something oh Nigerians need to stop taking it lightly and watch out for the symptoms people kill themselves due to depression. Meanwhile Aunty Stella so you are still a baby blogger lol I always thought you were a veteran, No mind me jare on christmas break with nothing to do so am going down the archives of some of the blogs i follow so you only started bloggin in April 2010 am seriously enjoying these back posts of yours lovely seeing how far you have come
ReplyDeletehmmn....am happy for her
ReplyDeleteGod has done it again. She is a living testimony. the report we got from media suggest she was fully insane but in less than a month abroad for treatment the difference is clear.
ReplyDeleteMy mama go say;
ReplyDeleteIf a man doesn't love u any more,
Infact b4 sh complete d statement my fada wld ans,
ARE U NOT CAPABLE OF LOVING URSELF? (Hehehehe Its usually a comedy in my ouz oo)
Most Nig men are nt worth d trouble at all, majority of them are brutes.
Any woman who says sh wan die cos of 1 man, na 7 women go waka pass ur grave go enjoy wit d man.
Oyinbo ppl wld say d best revenge is to whip ursef back into shape. I wld also add dat, u get ursef really nice dresses, spoil ursef, go back to town, and get a man 10times beta dan ur X!
For me, its not a man's world, IT IS A COMPETITIVE WORLD. Dis life I must enjoy am b4 I kpeme!
Me too. Dis life I must enjoy. Don't let any man determine your happiness. Its a choice. Women shine your eyes and work hard. Its a fall back.
Deleteoh my gosh ,the worst thing that can happen to any woman is living with a saddist,run run don't look back when u see one
ReplyDeleteThank God for her.
ReplyDeleteClara,am so happy for you...biko don't go back to that house..move on biko...fuck sully!

Dis lady shld focus her energy on getting better than granting interviews,stay away from d press madam it will do u,alot of good.
ReplyDeleteOk. U r welcome. Now be wise in the choices you make.
ReplyDeleteStella, honestly is not easy, am tryin to endure because of my kids, where wil i take them to, some of this arrongant men see themselve as God, once they are oppoturned to get to a small position. can you imagine i read mass communicaton and hubby dsnt want me on social media, when media is suppose to be my second home. many dnts, i try to keep to this rules to make peace and make my kids feel at home but i think am now a fool. when i react out of fustration it means am been sent to pull him down. i pray help will come from somewhere, get a good job,take take care of my kids, i ve been a fool for loving the man who pretends and always look for a way to retaliate even if is a little misunderstanding. one day just like zambia, i shall be free and my life will know happiness.
