“I’m 38 years old and I have been married for 8 years with two kids. My wife and I have been living peacefully since I was in Nigeria even until I left for Texas.
She has been very wonderful and industrious I love her so much and will never trade her for anyone. I’ve never cheated or even thought of cheating on her because she is more than enough for me.
I placed her on a monthly salary of N150k for her upkeep while I take care of every bill in the house. I left for Texas 2 years ago and since then I send her N400k monthly to take care of herself and the kids.
I later increased it to 600k when she complained of inflation and the struggle during cashless policy and redesign of Naira saga.
She has a best friend named Lucy, they’ve been friends since university days even before I met her and they bond so much like sisters.
Lucy is not married but she owns a big supermarket so she is financially stable. They attend parties and events together, she visits my wife often and my wife invites her to my home to stay whenever I travel until I come back.
I do not complain because I appreciate that my wife has someone she loves as a sister since she doesn’t have any sibling. My kids love her so much and she is my go-to person whenever I want to surprise my wife.
After I traveled, Lucy came as usual to stay with my wife and I would always shout out to her whenever I get the chance to do so.
I came back last month and as usual I got gifts for everyone including Lucy. She thanked me happily and left but I was surprised at the luggages she brought to my house cos it was literally like she moved into the house.
It was a very happy reunion, we were allover ourselves. My kids couldn’t get enough of me, we all hanged out the next day and it was all fun.
I planned to surprise my wife with her visa and that of our kids because we’ve been working on it since last year December and it was approved last month which was one of the reasons I came back.
She had no idea that the visa was approved cos I’ve been the one following it up so I wanted to surprise her with it. I told her that I would travel to Abuja for a very important get-together and I wanted her to come with me.
She told that she has an event as well to attend with Lucy that same day and it was really surprising to me because I know my wife as my handbag.
She likes to follow me to anywhere I go especially parties and would do anything to make me agree to it. I enjoy her company a lot as well.
My original plan was to surprise her after the get-together party at Abuja, but since she wasn’t going with me anymore I reserved it for when I return.
After the event, my wife called to know if I was on my way but I lied to her that I missed my flight because I wanted to surprise her.
I got home and heard a very loud music coming from our apartment. I opened the door with my key and I saw Lucy’s phone on the couch with her handbag.
I heard my wife moaning loudly and when I opened our door, I was dumbstruck seeing my wife and Lucy naked with Lucy’s mouth on my wife’s veejay.
They were soo overwhelmed in it that they didn’t even notice I was there until I went back to the parlour and put off the loud music.
My wife rushed out with the duvet shouting my son’s them, she thought probably he was the one that put off the music.
Immediately she saw me, the shock alone on her face gave her up. It was as if she saw a ghost. I was blank, the only thing I told her was that I don’t want to see her shadow in that house when I returned.
I didn’t know I could stammer until that moment, I would open my mouth to talk and will close it. I took my keys and left to a hotel.
It’s been two weeks now and I’m still here at the hotel. I’ve not said a word to anyone about what happened. My wife has been calling and texting, I’ve not replied or picked her call.
It’s still like a dream, a lot of questions are on my head. The sight of two of them naked is stuck in my eyes and mind. How long has these been going on? Is it just Lucy or has my lovely wife turned to a pr.os.tit.ute?
What led her to such? Is it because I wasn’t there to satisfy her? How about me that kept myself for her? What if my children has been seeing them all these while?
I don’t think I can look her in the face again or even touch her. I feel really disgusted. I never imagined our happy home shattering in this manner”.

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!
