My Divorce Story - 2

OhMyGoodness!!!




Hello Stella,God bless you for the platform you have created to help others. I am a woman of 52 years,my story may be long but i hope ladies will learn from my mistakes.


I grew up with my step mum,my life was a living hell.i wash everyone's cloth on Saturdays and i have to drink the water i use in rinsing the clothes before my step mum will let me hang them to dry,i cook but i have to wait till everyone finishes and eat the left over if there is,if there is none i try my luck next time.so many other terrible things i had to endure but to make my story short,i gained admission into teachers college and all i could think about was leaving the house.


After i graduated i returned back home and it was one issue after another anyways i met my husband and i just couldn't wait to leave the house. I lived in Ibadan and i have never been to Lagos. There was no white wedding, we did just intro and traditional marriage. He said when we get to Lagos we will do the court and white wedding, i didn't mind,i just wanted to be as far away from my step mum and all the troubles at home as possible. I got to Lagos and my nightmare started,i realized he wasn't as wealthy as he claimed he was,that wasn't a problem to me.



 I saw two young boys in his little room and palour. It was then he told me,he has a wife but she left without her kids and his mother also lived in the house.there was no telephone then,there was no way to reach my father,i couldn't go back to Ibadan,i didnt even know the way. I accepted my fate. He was a banker. After marriage,i realized he usually have terrible mood swings,he will shout @ me and just get angry without valid reason. 


Then he gave me the first bomb, he told me i should never ask him for anything that if i have needs,i should just write it in a paper and keep it on the dinning table that if i see money in it that means he has interest in the list and if i don't, that means he isn't interested.we didn't use to gist and talk like couples, just greetings and notes,that was how we communicated.



 Dont let me add his mums troubles, it wasn't beyond me because i was already used to maltreatment from home. After a while i gathered small money and started hawking pounded yam,i was pregnant with my first child. He didn't care and he didn't stop me. I was able to gather #10,000 from my business when i heard there was a land for sale in that area,i wrote my note as usual and kept the #10,000 in it that he should add to it to buy the land. He bought the land and still from my business money i bought the block used in starting the foundation of the land. He built his house and i was still hawking. 



A neighbor saw me one day and he said,my husband is a banker why am i hawking and he asked if i went to school, i told him yes and he got me my job as a civil servant. All hell was let loose in my house,my husband and his mum accused me of sleeping with the man and my husband insisted i wont take the job but i am Strong willed. I resumed and started taking care of my needs. He never spent money on my children, he usually spend his money on his family members. I wasnt still bothered.Some months to 2002 thats after 16years of marriage,he asked me to help him collect loan in my corporative in school,that he wanted to use it for business.



 I agreed and got him a loan of #700,000. Feb 2002, he woke me up in the midnight and said " i have sold the house,you and your children go and look for where to stay" i felt like i was in a nightmare. How is that possible, where will i go?i dont have family members in Lagos,i have 4 children with my last born still 2years old plus a #700,000 loan i collected on his behalf. He said he doesnt care,he is done with the marriage and we are to appear in court the following day for the divorce proceeding.


 I thought i was going to die.


 To cut the long story short, i paid the judge #12000 to let me have the custody of my kids as i couldn't live without them.my friends called me stupid,told me to leave the children and go hustle for myself, i had no place to live. Anyway i disagreed,i got my kids and went to live with who i thought was my bosom friend.i had to withdraw my kids from private schools and enrolled them in the government school. One evening my friend told me she could no longer accommodate me that we had to leave that same day,i went with my children and started knocking on the gates of churches, hoping that someone will let me @lst sleep for the night,a lot of them said no but thank God for sending helper my way that very night. My dad called me to come back to the village, i said no.i will stay in Lagos and make it.



 I became the object of ridicule among my siblings, none of them came to my aid. Even my mum that was never there for me as a child wrote me a letter that i shouldn't come to her burial if she dies because im no longer her child. It was a tough time and i cant begin to write all i went through. But God found me,i never gave up on him and today its a different story.i am not there yet but two of my children are graduates,my third child is in her final year and my last born is in his second year in the university and now their father wants them in his life.he has cancer,he is bedridden and every of his family members that he spent money on has abandoned him.


Lesson learnt:
(1) never become desperate,no matter what you are going through, never rush into marriage.

(2) no matter how little, always make sure you are earning something for yourself. If your husband as stopped you from working, try to save a little from whatever money is entering your hand.

(3) never leave your children behind. When you leave them,you subject them to abuse and maltreatment.if you have to sleep under the bridge, let them be there with you.

(4) no matter what comes your way,stand courageous, believe in yourself. No one said it will easy,it was a difficult moment for me and my kids,so many times we had nothing to eat but God saw us through.

(5) marry your friend, someone you can talk to about anything, someone you can play with,confide in. Sometimes love isn't enough,love fades but friendship will keep you going while you try to ignite the fire of love.


(6) try as much as possible to treat your step child(ren) nicely,despite all i went through growing up,i never maltreated them.we are still very close till now and they see me as their mother.we never know where we might end up,be nice to everyone that crosses your path,no matter who they are.


I hope i haven't bored you all,sorry for my epistle and i hope i have been able to encourage one or two ladies not to give up on themselves just yet,there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.



*Thank you for sending in your story Ma..God bless you.

    1. I honestly wish i saw stories like this and got this kind of advice before mine happened.I guess some of us were destined to learn from our mistakes, one thing is certain though, karma is real. Thanks ma for all the advice.
      Stella please i beg you not to scrap this segment like many people said in the first post, many young girls are going to gain a whole lot from it, because i tell you there are many dysfunctional men out there, bloody misogynists. may God save us all.

    2. Your story is so touching Ma. I even shed a tear. Your step mum is WICKED personified. Thank God it's all ending in praise. Your children would all get gr8 jobs to take care of you. Your husband is a big fool. Don't even let your kids close to him. Mtchewww

    3. The man is simply saying what people want to hear, not what really is. If the problem is really about ministers enriching themselves and setting up non-charitable organizations under the church, then how does limiting the number of years of service of the GO solve this problem? I don't see any relationship between the two.

  49. My ex husband was molesting our children without my knowledge. I never knew. And my (2)daughters never told me. It continued for years. He eventually impregnated them. When they mentioned who was responsible, I nearly died. As far as I know, I have never denied him sex. So, how could he? I don't know what came over me that day. I picked d fork I was using to eat and stabbed him, I stabbed him until there was no life remaining in him. I killed him. This happened around 1993. I was arrested and charged to court for murder. But somehow, my dad being a wealthy man bought me freedom. They swept the case under the carpet. Flew me and the kids abroad. Immediately I got there, I flushed out the bastards they were carrying.

    Young girls enter into bad marriage due to societal pressure,desperation due 2 the fact that their mates are married or their biological clock is ticking.
    Another thing is frustration from home.

  56. Let me add:
    7) Divorce is not the end of the world; Yes it hurts, but don't let it shatter your self-esteem. Don't let people bring you down by blaming you the woman. Trust God and triple your hustle. Agatha Amata is an example

    8) The signs are there: Never accept to date a man with inferiority complex, a man who will suffocate your dreams. When a man starts calling a woman who can stand on her feet financially by herself "proud" or "runs girl" abeg, you over there, RUN!!!

    1. Pls if I may add, after seeing the circumstances of things in a marriage, women should desist from birthing 4-5 children. Maybe 1 or 2 that you can take care of should worst comes to worst. The economy is not smiling...

    I like no. 5 of your lessons learnt 'marry your friend '. I heard those words first from my mother. I'd always wondered how my parents were able to still play and talk to each other like they married yesterday(my eldest should be about 40yrs) and my parents have 12 grandkids. So I asked my mum and she said 'I married my friend '.

  60. Can somebody teach me how to share this story?
    After reading this, I refuse to settle for just any man. If God does not send a man dt will understand me and take me as a friend, I will remain as I am please. Call me any name you want. That was how I almost fell into one chance marriage in November but God saved me.

I find it hard to understand...you don't talk but only communicate via notes and gives you money conditionally, yet you took a loan on his behave up to #700,000, your are 52, stayed in the marriage for up to 16 years, 20 years ago even 10 years ago 700,000 was HUGE money. I really can't relate. Anyway them say make we just read and learn. The story is just the way I expected it..

    2. It's unfair to judge others no matter how you feel about their story. Show sympathy or say nothing and move on. Anyone who thinks he or she has nothing to gain from this series should please WAKA PASS.

  86. The mistake you made is to have up to 4 kids with someone you communicate only through notes and had 2 kids previous to your union. If you are married and left to care for yourself, never have more than a child with such a man, the highest will be 2 kids.

  107. I am inspired, i have learnt not to get pressured or see marriage as the way out of any situation. I will rather remain single and be called any name,as long as im happy and find fulfilment in myself and the Lord.Marriage isnt a do or die affair. Stella,God bless you for this segment and ma,every of your pain and tears will not come to nought, you will live long in sound health to reap the fruit of your labour. Please Bvs,dont let us read to pass judgement on the posters, just pick your lessons and move on. Not everyone has had it easy and its better to learn from people's mistakes than for people to learn from ours. God bless us all.

  111. Wow! Ma'am you are truly an inspiration! ‎You've exhibited the true strength of a woman. I actually had to fight back the tears from streaming down as I read your story, of course it was an exercise in futility because I actually started sobbing. I hate seeing or hearing about a hard working woman suffer heat not only from a husband but his mum as well, but what kills me most is when innocent children have to suffer for what they know nothing about.

    You deserve several badges of honour! Leaving a marriage when you aren't financially stable is herculean enough but to leave with not 1 nor 2 kids but 4 kids!!! Woooooow! Do we still have iron ladies such as yourself anymore? Highly unlikely. I'm a firm believer in the saying that everything happens for a reason. If you didn't suffer so much hardship growing up, how would you have coped in that marriage? I'm even more gobsmacked that you didn't leave due to frustration, you were ready to remain there but God used him to liberate you. He actually kicked you out after he shortchanged you emotionally and financially! Unbelievable!‎

    I hope you know you wouldn't have attained the heights you are now and you wouldn't have known how people/ friends truly felt about you. May God use your children to wipe your tears and give you double for all your troubles. You may not like to hear this but I pray you find love, true love this time. I know of ladies in their 6Os who found love when they had already given up on men generally. You've endured so much! You deserve a happy ending with a man who would love and adore you like his Queen.

    If you can, reconcile with your ex husband. I don't mean moving back to play the role of a dutiful wife but reunite the kids with their dad because it seems his days are numbered. Forgiveness is divine, he doesn't deserve it but give it to him anyway. He may be a monster but he sired all your children, that bond cannot be broken. Please ma'am, give him the opportunity to make peace with his children before he leaves this world. 

    Wow! What an amazing woman and mother! God bless you ma'am.

  113. Good morning Stella , i would love u to publish my story pls do dont put my name thank you.
    I would like to briefly explain how we met and what happened in our marriage.Met my ex husband 2012 in the states when me and my friends wanted to buy some cars ,we got along so well through out my stay,my friend later called me and said my ex was interested me and from then on we started talking on the phone almost everyday and when ever I flew in to states for business.
    my ex-husband came to see me,he made his intentions to me that he wanted me as his wife .He came to Nigeria 2013 he paid my bride price and we also did our church blessing on that day ,we did our court marriage in 2014.
    My ex husband was good when the marriage started we had our normal husband and wife issues,but i had some concerns at that time ,which was a particular day we had a issue my ex husband got so angry and started screaming that he chased me all the way upstairs that i ran straight to the bathroom and locked the door and he started banging the door till he made a dent on the door for me to come out he was so angry with me that day later on he started crying and apologizing for his behavior that he doesnt know what got into him that day and also while sleeping he would start behaving funny saying things are pressing him down and trying to suffocate him while he's trying to sleep and when he awakes up he would be angry for the whole day,every nights he would say demons are after him,my ex just got worse,this is a man that once threatened to kill himself because of his friend's death, he cried and cried and locked himself in the room that day that I was so scared I was like God what kind of man did I exactly marry. That's when I knew that was in trouble and I begged him please don't kill yourself ,what about me,you want me to become a young widow.,so i informed my pastor and he told me to pray and make sure we start attended a church,and while we were married we never for once went to church together.

  114. My ex husband kept all the vital documents from our orginal wedding certificate for both court and church,he didn't put me on his insurance for his cars,he did everything from grocery shopping to paying for my phone bills.
    ,we didn't share any bank account together ,he paid for all the bills that came to the house cause all the things were in his name,I had nothing in my name with him that i knew of,l All I did was cook and keep the house clean.and stay home majority of the time.We lived up in the montains,So going out was a no no.
    Soon after his mother came to live with us that was the end of my marriage ,let me give a brief summary of my husband mother he said she was a witch ,my ex made sure she didnt come to our wedding because he said she was the reason his life was messed up. A woman that could tell her daughter in law to just get her green card and leave her son for her, a 50 year old man,she moved in with us and he just changed completely ,she started cooking and he stopped eating my food it was as if he had two wives at home,once I cook something new my husband's mother would cook also, like it was a competition,he started smoking again and drinking which he would hide,this developed into a problem of control, anger and emotional abuse. I would call our pastor to talk to my ex to find out what going on and why he started doing things he had stopped but my ex would say nothing and start behaving as if nothing happened and go back to normal.my ex just behaved as if he had mood swings , he would scream at me for no just cause, which I later got to find out he was taking medication to try and quit smoking but the after affect was depression and low sperm count.
    After sometime he stopped giving me money completely,he put a password on the cable that i watch to much tv.He stopped making love to me ,this is the same man that knew how much I wanted a baby and even told me to book an appointment with the fertility doctor in the hospital we even went to an appointment together.I would beg ,cry and ask what i did wrong, lf i touched him in bed he would leave the room and sleep downstairs till morning.My ex husband gave me the silent treatment,like I didn't exist in the house.

  115. I had very chronic back pains,it was a Sunday and I beg my ex-husband to please take me to the the hospital my ex husband entered the room and lock the door he totally ignored me I kept on crying in pain I had to call his people back In Nigeria to please call my ex-husband he totally ignored all their calls after some time he finally opened his door and took me the hospital on the way to to the hospital my ex-husband kept insulting me that I was bothering him.
    One day he finally said he was fed up with the marriage and he was miserable with his life so he had flied for divorce and he wanted me out of his house within a month,what I did my ex could not explain when I told him I wasn't going to anywhere he went crazy screaming that he would turn the water and power off and leave me in the house if I dnt move out. He went to removed me from the phone plan and I couldn't call anyone ,he collected the key to the mail box so I couldn't get my mails.unless he gave it to me.
    His sister moved in May to live with us so it was a full house also and l got a job 20 mins from where we stayed so i could have money and also leave the house .Around June the sister gave me the divorce papers, my ex asked me when I would sign it , when I drew up an agreement letter of what I needed beforing signing, my ex immediately flared up and started screaming like a madman ,he returned the car that he bought for me and started saying he will not give me anything ,saying what did I bring into the marriage,I had no means of going to work so I would walk half way and get a yellow cab to take me the rest of the way,so I was working to pay for my taxi fare,when I had no money I would beg my ex and he would not respond, just go into his room and lock the door.The sad part is when you tell my ex husband all he doing he would start denying he,never did thoses things or said horrible words to me ,he always behaved as if he couldnt remember is actions towards me.(the story of my immigration is for another day)
    I lived in fear and not sure of what he could do,I stopped sleeping,had a knife under my pillow just incase he went crazy at night , started having tenion headaches,depression had set in, crying almost every day and night ,I would use chairs and boxes to block the door when Im in the room,I only came out when he would have gone to work, I finally had to open up to my parents of what was going on ,.they told me to sign and move out before he would me hurt me,that all he would say his he is on medication that why he killed me. My uncle said not yet till he spoke to my ex and see what will he help me out with since he knew i had no one in America he can't just throw out me out on the streets, I stared looking for one room on Craigslist and I found one informed my ex and he gave me the money for deposit and 1st months rent and also told me to send my account number so he would send my rent monthly, not knowing it was all a plot for him to get me out of his house and sign the divorce papers with no spousal support. I finally moved out in July and signed the papers in August, When my rent was due in September my ex husband only responded ( you do work right...Please don't email me anymore)
    I must say my ex never physically hurt me, but he verbal abused me ,emotionally and psychologically he made sure my life was a living hell while i stayed in his house.He knew i had no one in America ,and he could throw me out and get away with what he did. I see a psychiatrist now every two weeks to talk about everything that I went through it because I've buried it in my mind and the psychiatrist just feels that one day I'm going to pop if I do not talk about what happened, I wish i could write all the things he did but im so ashamed that i allowed myself to go through all this because i wanted to stay maried .It shall never be well with my ex and his household.God will punish him 100 folds and anyone who comes from that household will suffer what I went through.

    Thanks Stella
