A single mother of two shows off her transformation from when she was in her marriage and a few years after divorcing her husband and becoming an independent woman. A video making the rounds on social media captured the before and after photos of a divorced woman who now runs her own successful business.
According to the mother of two, her marriage was like a bondage and things turned around better for her after exiting. “Look at this photo you’re seeing, I was in married and in my husband’s house then. Look how I looked, I suffered. Look at me now; look how beautiful I am now after divorcing my husband,” she stated.
“Look at me glowing now as an entrepreneur, a businesswoman, and an independent lady. Look at the clothes I am wearing now unlike when I used to wear okrika. Thank God for my life; marriage is sometimes like bondage,” she said in the Yoruba language. Watch the video below …
According to Sophia Momodu, the laws in Nigeria have failed to protect the women and children from abuse. She added that a lot of women are going through financial abuse but the laws do not favour them at all. In her words, “Financially bullying a woman into staying with you has got to be the most disgusting thing a man can do. Especially when children are involved.” “There’s got to be a special place in hell for people who intentionally punish innocent children. It’s been almost a year. Enough is enough!! Only in Nigeria! The laws don’t protect women or children & the men just do the absolute most! My goodness the whole system just stinks!’ “The amount of women going through financial abuse & being forced into silence in Nigeria is staggering. Who speaks for these women? Who defends them? Why is it ok for women to keep going through this?” “Why should it be ok for a man to force a woman to handle he’s responsibilities as a father simply because the woman chooses to move forward & refuses to look back? Honestly it’s time to soro soke because weyre lo poju ni country yi.” This cannot be ok. This should not be ok. So many women are forced into silence because these men use other ignorant women to bully & force the women they’re tormenting into silence. The enabling, the scheming, the lies & false narratives… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! “So many women have had to resort to suicide concerning this systematic oppression & the ones who chose to be strong for their children are considered stubborn or problematic. The crazy thing in all of this is that you’ll find fellow ‘women’ dehumanizing these innocent women. Haba” See screenshot below.
