I just recently watched this lawyer assaulting his wife in a video, and it brought back memories. Four years ago, I was dating this boy that’s five years older than me. Small thing—punching me and soaking my face in a bucket of cold water. If I wanted to leave, he would thr£aten me and my family because he was a bad boy. He even thr£atened my little brothers. I had no choice but to stay because even the police were requesting so much money, and we were too poor to continue anything. God helped me. I met an aged white man at an event I was ushering at. At first, I refused to give him a chance because he was old, but after much thought, I accepted, even when my parents were against him.
I low-key did my court marriage without anyone knowing, and a few months later, I left Nigeria. The useless ex, wicked boyfriend saw my abroad post and started crying and apologizing. I didn’t even answer him until he threatened to send bad boys to my kid brothers. With that message and my husband’s influence, he went to prison for six months. The prison sentence was reduced because the family was begging and had to sign an undertaking. Please note: I’m not justifying marrying an older person. It’s just that sometimes, those girls have no choice.
