However, after moving to the United Kingdom the man reneged on his promise and also refused to send back the cash she had sent him which he used as proof of funds. The narrator, @Chymaker said that he intends to take up the case if the young man doesn’t refund the lady the money despite breaking her heart. He wrote: “I’ve just heard a story that broke my heart and if that person doesn’t rethink his action, I’ll personally take up the case to prove just one point. You can’t lead a woman on with a promise of marriage, she assist you to move over to the UK and you not only disappointed her but also want to keep the money. The right and reasonable thing to do is to refund her money. If you don’t , well let’s leave how we get around it under UK law You’re just on a student visa and what you can’t attract to yourself is a case that clearly expose you as a scammer. I have the entirely conversation and proof of funds. Whatever your name is, please send her money back.

There is something wrong with some of our #African culture, for example, TOLERANCE in Marriage is often preached more to women than men, why? Both in #Churches and Mosques, they tell women to always ENDURE inside Marriages, to me, this is our biggest problem, women are not object for Endurance #Decoration in Marriages, if you are not Enjoying that Marriage, dear Ladies, kindly walk out, don’t Endure another Man’s IRRESPONSIBILITY. My #Mum went through a lot in her Marriage because of Endurance, if it not working, it not working, move out. Happy Easter”.

Why I Walked Out of my Marriage “Okay let me tell you why it looks all shitty, I left my marriage clueless about the next thing to do but knew I had to run for my life yet I has no family support. I was not lucky to come from a stable family background, my ex saw this and capitalised on it. “The marriage was 4 years old as at when it officially ended but it was dead from the beginning. I know the judginas will ask if I didn’t see the red flag…well story for another day but well the deed has been done and now I have two kids who had no fault. “My entire desire was to protect my kids. I mean they know nothing about the folly and stupidity of the parents that brought them to this world. I saved up and got my own apartment. I remember crying so much the first night I moved into my new home. I was scared. Her Journey After Exiting the Marriage “I had never gone on this kind of journey before and i don’t know how to walk this path. I was totally confused and clueless. I was more afraid for my kids, scared they would suffer which i do not want, what if they fall sick and I can’t take care of them? So many what ifs. “All these was in 2017….this is 2023 and yes it has not been a smooth journey…my life has taken a pause because I was not opportune to have a family support and I had to learn, unlearn and relearn on my own. My career has suffered so much. Yes. “My wants, desires has all been pushed to the base because I can’t afford all at once so my kids come first..it has not been an easy ride doing this alone, no single financial support from the man who bore them even though he has 100% access to these kids. “I look back today and ask myself if it is all worth it and Yes I am happy I made that decision. I am proud of the pains, the tears, the laughter. I am proud for holding myself strong despite the stigma and backlash that comes with being a single mom. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ME.” This is what i looked like when i walked out of my marriage in 2017 with two toddlers. I just clocked 30, i was mentally, emotionally and financially drained. I was tired and i knew i had to walk away. Did i know what i was going to do next? No but i walked#Thread pic.twitter.com/rGhqOilHrZ — Theladylaw_yer (@dearOlasumbo) March 19, 2023

Marriage counselor stirs reactions following claims that a woman’s life is tied to the bride price paid by her husband.

"Once a man pays your bride price, he has paid for your life" — Marriage counselor

A relationship expert identified as Jane Chukwu on Facebook made the claim in a post while advising women on how to keep a marriage. She argued that the payment of bride price by the man seals the complete ownership of his partners life, hence, the need for a woman to please her husband. “Forget civilization and feminist brouhaha, when a man pays your bride price, he has automatically paid for your life and the life you live isn’t yours anymore, the life you now have is to please him and make him happy all the days of his life,” she wrote.
