Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative...

Hmmmmmm....







STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

SPOUSAL INVESTMENT


I am a female and happily married(for ten years), or thought so until recently; We have three children...all boys.


 I earn a little more than my husband and we talk about things we want to do as a family. We recently decided that I will bring 2x amount monthly and he will bring x amount monthly (ie, I bring twice what he brings)and then we would use it to continue a project we are currently carrying out... the money was to be kept in my account because I am the more financially strict person. 


Before now we have been having this argument of him including my name in the landed properties.... we buy together (in fact, I bring more many times) but he puts only his name. It has caused issues severally before now and I allowed all die down so that peace will reign . So some days ago I had a dream and the summary of that dream was that he betrayed me financially(PS: I dream dreams...). So when I woke up, I shared the dream with him (maybe I shouldn't have!).


 I later told him I had reached a decision.... that if he doesn't include my name in the property documents, I will cease to contribute financially anymore and henceforth buy my own properties in my name only. He was so angry and the next thing he said was he can't do a marriage that there is no trust, because me asking that my name be included in the documents meant I don't trust him! 


My argument was that his refusal to include my name meant that he didn't trust me also. I transferred his part of the monthly contributions back to his account (as a starting point for the no more financial contributions together) and I have totally locked up. Now when he complains of no cash and how he needs money I just turn the other way and not say anything. I am so angry about this because even women that don't contribute anything financially get their names in documents talkless of when you actually contribute the bulk of the money.


Now I am beginning to think deep and I feel like I am been used....Before now he could call me and say he doesn't have cash for bla bla bla and I will send to him, he hasn't given me any cash to run the house in about six years and I haven't complained,I take care of the children's fees(he buys toys and clothes for them), I mean, the inclusion of my name in the property documents should be my right not a privilege.


Pls Stella and dear BVs I want to know if I am wrong here, I have seen very smart women who ended up being played by men who claimed they could be trusted. In all fairness my husband has been a good man but now I am confused if it's because of the "money"..... Help a sister biko....



*Madam you are not wrong at all....If it is a problem including your names in the documents then its a very worrisome problem.The law system in Nigeria is not like the one abroad that favours a woman when a marriage ends.

Stop investing with him if he doesnt include your name,una no relate so shine your eyes!

    2. Did Stella write "una no relate?"
      Really if you understand what marriage is; "they are one". The husband is wrong, selfish and
      myopic to have decided to buy landed property in his name only. But the wife approached it
      the wrong way. The reasoning will be something like; "we all will die one day, supposing
      you die first, what becomes of I and the kids; how will they legally own their dad's property?
      Some of the property should even be bought in the kid's name since they are all boys (which suits
      the African mentality).

      As it is now, like Stella rightly pointed out, women hold the shorter end of "the marriage stick"
      in the African set up. You have murdered the remaining trust in your relationship. After all, the
      money he used to contribute was "in your account". If he ends the marriage, you have everything to
      lose now; the property, the kids, you remain single while he probably impregnates and marries another
      and the lady and her kids become the "lords".

      So what do you do? Call upon the Lord who instituted marriages and who alone can change a man's heart.
      Show him in some other ways that you care. Meanwhile try and invest wisely.

    3. So poster if not for the dream,your eye for no clear,in this century who does that,it is not wrong trusting your spouse,but it is clear stupidity on your side for you to allow him buy property without your name boldly written on them,especially when you contribute more,your husband is wicked,he has evil plans,please shine your eyes before he jazz you this time.cut down on how you spend or contribute to the house,he should start paying his children fees,feeding and upkeep,since he is complaining of no money,you complain more,henceforth buy properties secretly,be wise,do not allow him trick you emotionally, your mumu don do.most especially love him,and make the home peaceful,but if he does not want peace give him the reverse.BE WISE

      Your epistle is longer than all the epistles written by the Apostle Paul himself.

      Only difference is that you are not learned up to a fraction of the Apostle, hence your essay makes no sense.

      How would he end the marriage just like that? What would be the reasons for deciding to end the marriage? The lady has rights to demand equity and by so doing has wrecked the marriage and become a sore loser all of a sudden? OMG ur intelligence is at an all time low.

      Madam, since you started the fight already, pls, Get a family lawyer to help complete and document property transactions. That will be one of your terms and conditions to return to status co. Create a long list and hold on to it like glue.

      It must not be divorce but it will be messy o.

      Goodluck to you.

  4. It took you ten years to see the light, hopefully you keep it that way until he either puts your name on properties.
    It wouldn't kill him to do Mr. And Mrs. Whatever your surname is on a document whether you contribute or not. You are married and marriage means you two are now one and what belongs to him is yours and vice versa. In cases where men are scared the woman would vamoose with property with another man after their demise, they use their child's name. So he has no excuse, he is simply selfish and you have no evidence except for word of mouth that you contributed to the purchase of these properties if case is ever dragged to the courts.
    Keep your money and buy your own properties in your name or your children.
    Humans are unpredictable.

He might even lie to you and show you that he had included you only for him to change it to only his name. Be careful. Just buy your own properties and save up for when you get old.

    1. In my opinion he has an ulterior motive. A family oriented man will be all too glad to buy properties in his wife and kids name. That's a way of securing their future. Pls be careful with him, it's good to trust your spouse but when u see some kurukere moves be very alert. My husband buys properties in everyone's name even though our daughter will get married one day. It's not a matter that should lead to argument.

  7. Madam your man is hiding somethings from you. No. 1 he betrayed your trust by not including your name in the buying of properties. You told him your dream because you thought 1 +1 is 1 and you forgot that 1+1 is 2. No 2. He refused to bring money for 6 years because you showed him you are man of the house, so you cause that one and he used that against you. NA HORSEBAND YOU MARRY

    All these marraiges that men cannot show repentance and they will be the one calling God all the time.

    While you took up his responsibility of providing for the home,he is busy using your money to carry side chicks!...
    Your husband does not love or value you!...
    He just married you because you are richer than him!...
    I'm sure if you snoop well,you would see number of side chicks he spend on!...

    Don't ever contribute money in buying any properties again without your name boldly written on it!...

    1. Gbam! He's NO good man. He's a pretentious smarty pants. Yeye dey smell.

      One of my former bosses was working as a nurse in the US, her husband ran a business that didn't cater to their bills. She was running the home and he would do what he came. When they decided to relocate to Nigeria, she asked him for all the land documents in his possession. Lo and behold they were all in his name, After all her hard work. They argued and argued he refused to change name. As soon as she set up her business in naija she told him this is naija, so all things are passed away. New modus operandi. Hehehe. The man coudlnt even own a pin and started selling off some of the properties to even foot his own bills. Still running bogus businesses that brought little or no income. Well, they are divorced today. He obviously couldn't stand up to his responsibilities. And i dont know why some of us can't sight trouble from afar. You kept quiet that your name isn't on the document? Which peace to reign? There should be no peace! Such selfishness!!

      Your husband has NO excuse not to put your name on those documents. He is the one with trust issues. What if he does tommorow and his family come for you? Well from what I can read you are an independent woman clan so enjoy. Afterall you're married.... it's an achievement. Find joy in your kids.

    3. @Queen what sort of marriage do you get into If you can't trust your spouse with information such as finances? The man's action in the story is appalling to say the least, but not all men are same. Not trusting your spouse enough with such information means you don't trust him at all. If you go into marriage with this mindset, it's only a matter of time. . .If you can't offer such trust, give yourself to prayer in finding the right person; that's if you're a Christian, or stay away from marriage and utilise your money as you personally see fit.

    1. Poster this anon is very right with the "another wife" thing.Nothing is constant anymore, he might wake up one day and decide that you no longer look pretty ,marry another lady and push you out..where re you gonna start from?
      Or something bad like death might take him away, and then you will see the true colour of his family, even if you have a male child, some family members won't reason that as they re hell-bent on taking over their brother's wealth. And take everything you've laboured for with him.
      Where I come from, women ve properties to their names,Majority of them got it without the husband's knowledge , So it's not bad if you start building or buying properties in your own name.

  14. Madam you are 101% right for your actions. Some men are wicked and heartless, exactly the same thing happened in my area. A woman gave her husband money to buy landed properties and the man did with his name on all of them, the wife didn't bore him a child although they adopt kids and finally the man died, the family seized everything from the woman claiming it is their late brother property. Don't let such scenerio play in your own case. It was later discovered that the late husband married a second wife unknown to the woman but his people were aware. Pls madam open your eyes very well before its too late. A man who can't include you in his property has an interior motive and can betray. Be wise.

    Stop paying the children's school fees that is his duty as their father u should be the one buying the clothes and toys and just lock up start ur own project without telling him anything.. This is why u shouldn't tell ur husband how much u are making..

    1. Madam, I beg to differ. I'm married and my wife knows exactly how much I earn in dollars, I am aware what she earns too. It has never brought a dispute between us.Greed is the cause of most financial dispute in marriages. Using one or few bad experiences to justify a wrong notion is misleading to others. In a loving, trust-filled marriage, it is perfectly fine to disclose secrets to your spouse. Like a writer said above and I quote "Money the root of all evil. You guys sleep together nakedly and even have sex which is the height of intimacy and yet money no gree una". If you and your spouse engage in all sort of intimate activities and yet no trust on financials wouldn't it be best to describe you both as just sex/bedmate which is prevalent these days?

    He feels threatened that You earn more than him.

    I feel that you should even tell him to share the properties between you two.

    He has ulterior motives.

    I have this feeling he might be wanting to marry another wife(that's if he hasn't already) so you don't have anything to your name if you live.

    I can't make such mistake of putting just my husband's name in a property we all buy, habba manna.

The name on property for joint contribution should be "Mr and Mrs so and so" or he should forget it please.God forbid but if there are issues, he will quickly claim everything and the big donor will be left with nothing.If he wants the property in his name, he should use only his money.Simple!

Anyway,it is when you dont have money that you know the true colours of people who have been nice to you.your hubby has obviously been a 'good man' because of what he has been benefiting from you,and you have been so unsmart to aid him. How does an intelligent woman contribute to a property and her name is not included? Anyway,your decision is the best,if the man genuinely loves you,he will put your name without any issues.continue to lock up because that man may spring a surprise on you one day, and this may be the end of your fictitious'happy marriage'.

  35. Poster I am talking from the point of view of someone who's parents went through something similar before they separated. Though I am not married but I have experienced life in a way that has made me mature very quickly. Sit down and ask yourself if you are ready to allow this issue cause a divorce. Are you truely emotionally ready to live the single mum life? Does he cheat? Does he beat you? My dad was cheating till he got that incurable illness. He also beat my mum. Broken bone, pouring hot food on her, she had to leave the marriage to save her life. She earned double too and contributed to most projects but he used his name and went on to put his new younger wife in the completed house. My mum and us were almost homeless because she had no savings when it happened. She had to start from square one with 2 of us. She has gone on to have about 4 landed properties that comprise 8 flats. She has not touched her 10 million naira gratuity and she owns a clinic. She did all these with 2 kids and No help from any man. No man can take this away from you. What is important is that you keep your job, create multiple streams of income, have an emergency fund and stick to an effective family planning method. Yes, he is selfish and greedy with potentially dangerous motives. This fight can degenerate into something more sinister and you can only stick to your guns if you're truely ready to face the repercussions like separation, divorce, custody fights, evil step mother to your children, jazz. These are a few of the many battles my mum went through alone. Her own separation from dad was necessary. Personally, I feel a man should drop something for his wife. You failed to set the correct tone and rules before you got married. I wish you best of luck. If you have any questions comment below, I can ask my mum for you.

    Madam let me first commend you about your sincerity on your financial contribution, I understand how you felt about the having your name on the property document. You deserve it and it is the proper thing to do, I will suggest clear communication about investment decision before venturing into joint savings plan. Personally you should start by using a strategy to reduce your contribution on the saving and diverting same to your pension or account where you have control over.

    1. I know one so-called pastor who rendered my church member useless. After working for 30+ years in the bank. The woman retired to NOTHING, all because of submission and trust in her husband. She was turning in all her salary to him and the man enriched himself. She couldn't even pay her children's university fees, church had to intervene. This is a woman that was earning 6 zeros every month. Namsense. Useless men living off womens sweat.
      If you marry man wey you get money pass let him know that he aint backing down on his responsibilities, no matter what. Let the children go to the school he can afford and live within his means. Walahi he will seat up

  41. Stick to your decision, buy property in your own name/that of your children. Your husband has an ulterior motive for leaving your name out of the property,make him take up his responsibility of paying school fees you can assist with the housing upkeep but he must pick the bill of school fees at least. There is nothing wrong in full disclosure between a couple if they are truly being honest to themselves Adam and Eve were both naked and not ashamed that is what being a couple is all about.

  43. When one say "my husband's money" or "my money" is it not an anomaly? when one shares everything intimate (including sex); if they can't have funds together; where is the oneness? Hasn't the aim of marriage been defeated? The issue of oneness is in sharing everything. The excuses many give is "I don't trust her to know how much I earn or am worth". If one is a follower of Christ; who did Jesus give "his wallet"; was it not Judas? How much trust did Jesus have for Judas? These are some of the issues that intending spouses should define in courtship.
    On a personal note; my husband and I had a common "account" from the moment I accepted to marry him. He decided to put me in charge of every financial spending. He makes contributions and there is no issues about that. There is no account that we have had since marriage that bears one person's name and the mandate is "either to sign". WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT "HIS MONEY" "MY MONEY" hasn't the purpose of marriage been defeated?
    Finances usually breeds quarrel among couples and the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Married for more than a decade an NEVER ARGUED is our testimony by the grace of God. When there is concealment of finances, the lady makes demands, suspect the husband of keeping a concubine etc. But when the two are open to each other in the way described above; thee will be no room for mutual suspicion!

    Kindly give your husband this story to read:

    A couple we know lived financially apart. The man is reasonably well to do but the wife dared not ask or "take his money". He gave her "handout" of money from time to time; monthly allowances etc. All his businesses were solely in his name. He took ill and his doctor gave him a damning health verdict and he had a surgery fixed. He knew that he may not come out of the theater alive. He quickly summoned his wife and took her to all his accounts and made it Joint and she could sign. Made his kids 'next of kin" in all the accounts and re-registered all his businesses with the wife's name inclusive. Even the financial aspect of the surgery and bills, the wife was in charge. He told her, "If I do not come out of the theater alive, sell all the exotic cars and keep just two" etc. IT WAS NO LONGER AN ISSUE OF THE WIFE TAKING "HIS MONEY"; THE WOMAN WAS IN CHARGE. He confessed certain misdeeds to the lady and they prayed together and he got into the theater. AFTER 9 HOURS OF SURGERY, the news came . . . he survived it! It was this singular experience that changed his attitude towards family finances as concerns his wife. She knew about every penny that dropped or left the "family business" as it became.

    Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." (Luke twelve vs. fifteen)

    1. Anon 16:35. Such a long and meaningless comment.

      1. Your own husband makes contributions.
      2. You did not mention who earns more.
      3. You And your husband have never argued for 10 years. Congratulations. How will that comfort the poster and how is that relatable to the chronicle?
      4. Your relationship with your husband and the mumu 2013 viral fake story you shared, can't be compared to that of the poster. This is because the couples involved have different personalities, home training and childhood experiences. He's not going to magically, romantically and dramatically confess everything on his death bed. This is not Telemundo, You're overly idealistic.
      5.You mentioned again that none of the accounts you have bear one person's name. That is almost opposite of the situation of the poster.
      6.I employ all women who enjoy and continuously seek peace of mind, to shut down any woman who advices them like this, immediately. Their situation is unrelatable but they like giving generalistic, generic "hadvice":

      "Take it to the Lord in prayer".

      "Have a heart to heart talk with him".

      A sprinkle of "Wear red paynt and do snake in the monkey shadow".

      "injects viral story and bible verse"

      A little dash of "Me and my husband have never argued for 40 years".

  45. @yoyo woman, man wey be devil can be in any situation. I have a friend whose husband will not allow house help or anybody to touch his children, my friend had to leave her high flying job, rich man husband o! He Pays fees, house in his name, every other property (like 6) also in his name with his sister as next of kin - that is how he and his mother wants it. My friend only gets enough to cook and he won't even buy gifts for his children or let them all go on holiday. But he spoils his mother and sisters and disregards his wife's family. But I know there is a God in heaven and He will hear the prayers and groaning of the oppressed. Plenty werey out there blaming Buhari and politicians for nigerias wahala but they can't be fair to their own family.

  47. I seriously did not want to comment today, u are doing the right thing. Some husband's even put their wifes name as a sign of love. Be careful you have every right asking that he includes your name to everything you guys contribute monetarily together. Men and women can not be trusted it'd for your security and that of your children. This days number of years in marriage or children do not guarantee a lasting union. Men are selfish. He should do what is right if your spirit says you should protect your self do it 100%

  48. The beginning of wisdom is for girls & women in africa now to stop joining finances or investment with relatives, husband, village people & friends etc. The historical betrayal is out of reason. Jealousy, cultural based maltreatment against women and many other factors that will ultimately cause you loose your hard earned money or even your life at the hands of those you think you van trust in Africa.
    Monkey sense things!

How can you take the big part of the responsibilities and your selfish horseband buys cloth and toys something you should do na wa o, then when you two bring money together to get a property he uses just his name in the document in this part of the world where women are not regarded.

    You better start investing with just your name and don't tell him don't tell him your plans angrily just be quiet let him not know what you are up to, humans are so desperately wicked and most Nigerian men are so selfish.

    What if he leaves you tomorrow and go marry another woman or let's say just married someone else and they both start flexing with your hard earn money ? Or Godforbid he dies and his people start dragging property this is Nigeria o Pls make sure he includes your name in all the property you two contributed money for, but pls just go about it the right way don't show you are upset so he doesn't go and kill you o .
    Please allow pay his children school fee listen let him pay his children school fees allow him be the man and you the wife gosh I'm pissed. Madam stop this your numu now.
    Women stop playing miss Independent if you want to support your husband is fine but pls he his the man responsibility to provide for the family. All this small small boys shouting what are you bringing to the table are just looking for someone that will come and carry their responsibilities.
    Which person's body changes after childbirth or which person's life and career is on hold because she is taking care of the children nonsense some women quit their jobs because their husbands want them to take care of the home.
    What are you bring to the table except your shrinked and expired penis that you have use to enter different things, if as a married woman i'm the one taking Care of the whole family what use are you being my husband oshico

      Don't mind the men of this generation they are looking for traditional woman that will cook,clean,take care of kids and kneel to give them food. But when it is to bring money that is when they want independent career woman that will pay half of everything . You have to choose one if you want a maid wife, she can't also be a working career woman.
      Are we robot that will go to work and serve you hand and foot and still pay bills.
      What is your role then? Just to fuck.
      You too be traditional man and pay all the bills then.

  58. I know this type that u av married, I'm married to one n we live in d abroad. We were going to buy property n oga didn't av anything to contribute towards down payment, so I asked that we buy in my name since he was not contributing. He refused insisting on joint names. I really wouldn't av had a problem with it but for d fact that he has a love child pre wedlock. So I shut down. We didn't go ahead o. When I'm ready, I will act on my convictions, ensuring my daughters r well cared for. Another thing is if u buy jointly, ensure u r well described especially by your maiden name in bracket. Because anybody can be Mrs. Anything. I once had an elderly igbo lady as my client while in nigeria. She was a teacher n trader on d side n her husband was also a civil servant. After they had kids, d man started acting out n eventually left home. He sold house on their heads. House that d woman contributed all her savings towards but made d mistake of it being only in husband's name. His siblings supported him till he sold it n wasted d money. As she was running up n down to stop d new owner from evicting her, her daughter who was married n financially stable died during child birth. It was that one that was really helping her. She had to move in with her second daughter to look after her first daughter's kids. Her husband is living his retirement in d village. Brace up woman. No be fight unless he wants one. But you've got to live for yourself n your children. Erase that thought of good man from your mind. He's using you. A good man sacrifices.

  59. Did u read d article where Apostle Suleiman built a complex, a filling station etc for his wife and in her name?
    Did u also read about the man who had gotten Visa for his girlfriend & himself while he claims his wife (who he was living supposely happy with) is dead.
    Where there is true love & considering a whole 10 years in marriage, this shouldn't be an issue.
    Haven't you heard or seen men buying houses, landed properties, cars etc for their girlfriends in their names?
    Madam, shine your eyes oooo.
    We are most times blinded by love, but Trust only God 100%.
    What if (God forbid) something happens tomorrow & you guys separate?
    Have you also bothered to check d next of kin to every...?

    If possible find away to be part of the already jointly owned properties.
    Find the most subtle way to deal with this issue. Ask God for wisdom. The aim is not off course to make you divorce your husband bit to live in peace and harmony at the same time wiser.
    Pls be Careful & watch your back. You never can tell what an angry man can do

  61. Poster please be like me. I'm always broke. Le boo even jokingly says it all the time that women are always broke. I don't put my money anywhere except my family ( my parents & siblings) He takes care of everything else even though he has an idea of what I probably make in a month. It's just my name on the properties and cars. My husbands money is "our" money. My money is my money. Your husband has another motive period. Don't do wahala just start doing your own thing alone.

  62. Thanks so much Stella for posting my chronicle from the back door! Lol. I read all the advises and I am happy you all agree that I doing the right thing. Queen, let me say I expected your comment.... as well as all those thinking I was forming "independent woman"... in self defense, I just can't stay and watch my children and I suffer na.... what's the essence of my working?
    Thanks for sharing your stories too, I am more resolved to make things right.... e.g.,stop paying school fees and allowing him do that and others.

    Anyways....


    Update of things:
    He apologized for saying he can't continue with the marriage and said it was because he felt very hurt at the way I just stated that I had reached a decision.... ie, not "calmly" seeking his suggestion on the way forward..... (I just taya, is there a perfect time for these men sef?, every time the timing isn't right!).

    I have seen him making moves on seeking for the procedure for change of name of the documents, but I have not seen it actualize yet.... I had earlier stated it should be my full name, not Mrs bla bla bla...(I cannot fall mugu like that). So till I see with my two korokoro eyes, I am not stepping down on this my fire/blood mode....

    Thanks so much Stella and thanks every BV.... I took my time to read every comment... some made me laugh sha hehehehehe.....

  69. This Chronicle has helped me to learn that when names are written on a joint property document,it should be detailed. I used to think Mr and Mrs X was enough.

No joint anything, do your thing i do mine. i dont contribute to rent anymore instead i have started saving all my money. "i no get" is my new name now

  72. How wont you be happily married since you are the bread winner? Even the most wicked man will pretend to love you when money is involved. Be wise and and start investing on your own because I can sense that he has another motive. And if your marriage crashes due to this decision, have it at the back of your mind that this marriage has been a scam.
