Few days ago, My wife came to social media & said several things, painting me black in public. Pls I’m here to clear my name
This woman has been my wife for up to 8 yrs now, but believe me, I’ve never taken any action on her for being unable to give me a son rather, I’ve been patient with her. after she gave birth to 3 girls, if i wasn’t a responsible man, i would have moved out there & look for another woman whom is capable of giving me male kids & remarry, but i never did, instead i forgave her & I’ve been patient with her.
Secondly. I’m a man & chief commander of my family, even the bible gives the man that lead over his wife, i’m the head of the house. So, there’s absolutely nothing wrong if, i should stop my wife from working. I did stop my wife from working cuz of obvious reasons, i was avoiding issues such as this. I knew once she starts earning, I’ll be regularly getting disrespected just like she’s doing now, as it’s very common with women. I was trying avoiding that competition, this is the reason i, stoped her from getting a job or working after our marriage, beside, I’m capable of taking care of my family. There actually came a time in my marriage when i was worried about my wife not actually being able to give birth to a son & this Made me to lost interest in her & started drinking & seing other women.
But, I never brought any of these women to our matrimonial bed nor home. my affair with these women ended outside. Let it be noted that I’m a man & I’m not the first neither, would i, be the last to cht on my wife. It’s has always been in a man’s nature to cheat. Pls do not get me wrong, for I’m not trying to justify myself I’m only saying, not different from other man out there. Other men do it my own case shouldn’t be that so much of an ab0minat!0n as every one made it look. Yes, it’s true that i slept several times outside for up to 3 days without giving her money for food. But what did she do, she rp0rt3d me to “Welfare” & took my kids to her parents house even without my consent. Pls I want to know if this is what a responsible woman should do? I believe a responsible woman will talk or communicate with her husband & try to resolve issues privately but, this isn’t the case with my wife
Every little misunderstanding we have, instead of talking to me, she’ll park her things & go back to her parents house, taking my kids along with her. Is this what a good woman should do! Marriage is for better & for worst, as a woman you must learn how to endure, its a natural gift from God to women but this isn’t tje case with this woman. When the case at the “welfare” was resolved I however, accepted to take up my family responsibilities & be a better husband & father to my wife & kids, I even went to her parents home & apologized but she refused & insisted that she’ll only accept to go back with me if, i allowed her to work instead of just being a house wife in which I, accepted. She told me about an old friend of hers whom have accepted to lend her some huge sums to start up a trade. I didn’t like the idea, i refused & told her my plans, which was to save enough & enroll her into a nursing institution since she was very brilliant in her school days.
As expected my wife, did so well in her results, she came out as one of the best student nurse in her badge that year. So, After her graduation, still with my connections, I got her a job in town as a nuse & midwife in one of the biggest & best hospitals we have in town. It came along with a very huge salary almost 3 times what i make in my business monthly. However, it’s also true that, my wife gave me her first salary, but after all i did for this woman, I deserve just more than that. Her accusing me of misusing the money she gave me on beer & women truly further proves how gr33dy this woman truly is. If, you gift someone with a pure heart, why should you go on to investigate how or what that person decides to do with the gift you gave them. This was the first & last time i ever received a dime from my wife. She started paying the children’s fees & also buying food for the family. She even further requested to assist me in paying part of the house rent but i refused. I very well know that, all these, was to r!d!cule me & make me know that minus me, she can survive on her own..
For 3 whole yrs, i waited, thinking my wife would someday, come to her senses & offer to start giving me half of her salary at least to show appreciation for all I’ve done for her but, this never happened, rather, i was shocked to hear from her that she’s been saving & has started her own building project. Just then, i knew she has no plans or whatsoever to share her salary with me, when i asked her as the man of the house to start giving me half of her salary, this became a serious issue & even got to a stage were, she parked & left my house again taking my kids along, claiming that I’ve become too t0x!c for her. Pls people tell me, how does i, asking my own wife, for half of her monthly pay makes me a t0x!c husband ! This is the same woman that i picked from the gutters, made her my wife & even sponsored her education & still with my connections got her thesame said job ! Is this fare !
My wife moved out & rented her own place, i decided to stay, thinking that she’ll come back to her senses, come back home & apologize but for 9 months she never didn’t see. I went to her parents house to rep0rt the issue to her family. Instead i was sh0cked. Instead of c0ndemn!ng their daughters attitude rather, they all supported her. This is the reason i got so p!ssed & came to facebk to xpose her & her family.. Maureen ! You aught to be a,sh@m3d. Just 9 months you left my home yet you went & s,pre_d your legs for another man while still married to me & you’re not even a,sh@,med to tell me in public that you’re 6 months pregnant with a son. i picked you from the gutters & brushed you up but, you & your “low l!ves” of a so called family have decided to pay me back with e_vu. You’ve succeeded in emb@rras!n me in public. Thank you for everything. I promise you. You see that job that is giving you the courage to do this to me ! You’ll loose it, that i promise you. karma is coming for you Maureen !

I’m 21 years old. My dad abandoned me, but he suddenly showed up two months ago. I only found out about him when I was 10, But right now I’m having sexual urge for him
“I’m 21 years old. My dad abandoned me, but he suddenly showed up two months ago. I only found out about him when I was 10. He used to work for my grandparents as a house help when he was 16. My mom was 19 then. They had an affair, and she got pregnant with me.
My grandparents took my mom to Ghana while she was pregnant. Now, 21 years later, my mom decided to relocate, and that’s how she and my dad reunited. I was amazed to see my dad for the first time. He’s young and handsome. But after a while, things changed. I realized I don’t feel that father-daughter bond between us. To be honest, I’m sexually attracted to my dad. I’ve been in relationships before, but I’ve never felt this way. I’m currently in my third relationship, but I’m losing interest in my boyfriend.
Sometimes, I unknowingly flirt with my dad. I think he might feel the same way, but he doesn’t say anything. Lately, I’ve been jealous of my mom, especially when they’re intimate. I listen or peek through the door. I feel like if I could just be with him once, I’ll stop having this urge. We’ve been separated for a long time, and we don’t share a bond. My mom traveled back to Ghana two days ago and will be back in two weeks. I’m left alone with my dad, and the temptation is strong.
Please, is there something I can do to stop this urge? I’m really trying.”

Roman Catholic Reverend Father Michael Ogochukwu Ezeh and Reverend Sister Claire Chioma O. Set to Tie the Knot
The path of love is often unpredictable, leading people to unexpected places, and it seems to have done just that for Reverend Father Michael Ogochukwu Ezeh and Reverend Sister Claire Chioma O. The couple, who have found a deep connection in each other, are now preparing to celebrate their love through the holy sacrament of marriage. The event is scheduled to take place on the 26th of October, 2024, at St. Phillip Catholic Church, Port Harcourt, where they will exchange vows and embark on this new chapter of their lives together.
Reverend Father Michael, hailing from Enugu State, and Reverend Sister Claire, originally from Afikpo North in Ebonyi State, come from strong Catholic backgrounds. Their lives, dedicated to the service of the Church, saw them traverse the paths of religious devotion, spirituality, and community service, until eventually finding love in each other. Their decision to step into matrimony, having both embraced celibacy at different points, comes as a unique and bold testament to the beautiful surprises life can offer.
The journey of transitioning from religious service to a committed marital relationship is indeed an extraordinary one for Father Michael and Sister Claire. Traditionally, members of the Catholic clergy adhere to vows of celibacy and service. Yet, some, having deeply discerned their calling, may find themselves choosing the path of marriage, feeling that their love for one another is in alignment with God’s purpose for their lives.
Their decision serves as a poignant reminder that love knows no boundaries. It is a beautiful demonstration that one’s commitment to God and spirituality does not necessarily end with the choice to share life with another person. Instead, it could signify a new form of serving God—through the sacred union of marriage.
The wedding ceremony at St. Phillip Catholic Church in Port Harcourt promises to be a significant event. With the blessing of family, friends, and the church community, Father Michael and Sister Claire’s union will be celebrated in a traditional Catholic mass, officiated by church leaders who support their decision to marry. The couple has extended invitations to fellow clergy members, friends, and well-wishers, asking for prayers and blessings as they prepare for this sacred moment.
The event will undoubtedly attract attention, not just within the local Catholic community but also across Nigeria. Their journey serves as an inspiration to many, showcasing that love and faith can indeed walk hand-in-hand, and that every love story is unique in its path to fulfillment.
Reverend Father Michael and Reverend Sister Claire’s story is a testament to the power of love. Their courage in choosing to follow their hearts, even if it means taking an unconventional path, reminds us all that love is indeed a beautiful and transformative force. It has the power to transcend expectations, societal norms, and even religious traditions when it aligns with one’s understanding of divine purpose.
As the couple gets ready to walk down the aisle, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and wish them a lifetime of happiness, love, and shared faith. May their journey together continue to inspire others to embrace love in all its forms.
Let’s raise a toast to the soon-to-be newlyweds and celebrate their beautiful union! Congratulations to Father Michael and Sister Claire, as they embark on this blessed and exciting journey together.
You need to understand your own cultural identity; otherwise, you will keep seeing yourself as those who control the mainstream media see you, rather than how you really are. For example, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, Ijaw and Edo are not tribes.
A tribe is a small group of primitive people, existing in a traditional society, subdivided into families and communities connected by a common language and ancestry.
Going by that definition, supported by the Oxford English Dictionary, most Nigerian ethnicities are not tribes. They are ethnic nationalities.
So, why do we use the term tribe to describe our ethnic identity? It is because the colonialists deliberately used the word tribe to make you look and feel inferior.
Just as they beat Kunta Kinte in the fictional TV series Roots, until he recanted and replaced his real African name with the slave name Toby, so did the colonialists browbeat you and I until we accepted that we were tribesmen and tribeswomen.
Take the Yorubas, for example. The Olukumi Omoluabi are found in large numbers in Nigeria, Brazil, Benin, Togo, Sierra Leone, and Cuba and are scattered throughout the Caribbean.
Hausa and Yoruba are Africa’s second and third most prominent indigenous languages.
Ndi’Igbo have significant indigenous populations in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
Yet, members of these groups use the word tribe to describe themselves.
Each of these sub-nations has a population far in excess of the population of Belgium, which has 11.7 million people of primarily Flemish origin.
But since you were born, have you ever heard the Flemish people being described as a ‘tribe’? So, why refer to your ethnicity as a tribe?
Look, if a cat wants to grow and become a lion, it must stop chasing mice. If Nigeria is to become a great nation, we must remove the subliminal barriers and glass ceilings that the colonialists put in our minds.
Take a look at these Ife Bronzes. They are a thousand years old and show Olukumi Omoluabi people fully dressed, wearing jewellery and holding iron tools.
How could you be this advanced a thousand years ago and still believe you are a tribe?
Belgium did not exist a thousand years ago, and they are a nation, but you, who existed over a thousand years ago, are a tribe? Make that make sense to yourself.
It is time to make a mental shift. Do not use the word tribe to describe yourself or your ethnicity. You are an individual member of an ethnic nationality. Once you understand that, how you see yourself and allow others to treat you will change.
And while you are at it, give up your suave slave name and start bearing an original African name.
The right people will like you better if you just be yourself rather than who you are not. Bear your heavy African name. Take a poll. Whether Aliko Dangote, Kemi Badenoch, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Wake Adeyemo, Chimamanda Adichie, Tope Awotona, or Bayo Ogunlesi, the most successful Black Africans bear their African names, not European, Jewish or Arabic names.
And wear your cultural attire. It does not look funny. That is your inferiority complex, speaking. And refuse to bleach. Organic cream is an organic fraud. You can be Black and beautiful. Solomon wrote the only love letter in the Bible for a Black woman (Songs of Solomon). Your Blackness is your greatness. Please don’t get in the way of it. Instead, get in line with it!
