how sad, Naija, especially for the women
are men very abusive towards women there?
the lucky lady that finds you, a rare gem amongst
clods of dirt!
Some men abuse their women but they keep it among themselves,the problem with the women of our generation here is that they prefer to marry a man that is wealthy or capable of taking care of them(House,Car, Clothes, jewelleries etc) rather than be independent on their own.this mentality comes from their mothers which most of them were in arranged marriage back in 70's and 80's.it's unfortunate that they are born to think this way which is not good.
a very pretty Cousin of mine married a wealthy young man who already has a wife.she thought that if she married him, he will never marry another woman again only later to find out that he is having an affair with a young girl, she suffered a depression as a result of that and was taken to her mother's place. what's even funny and stupid is that her mother and the siblings thought she was possessed by Jinn
, they started torturing the poor girl by putting red pepper in her eyes so that the jinns will come out of her body and go, it even reach to the point that they will cut her back with the razor for the jinns to come out of the wounds
, when my mother heard about it she stopped them from doing so and took her to psychiatric hospital.
she became as thin as skeleton, if you were there you will feel horrible at the sight of her and she became pregnant and had a daughter, what even made me angry was that her husband didn't even care about the all ordeals she went through ,i felt like punching the guy right on his face.
it took her a year to recover from the depression,by that time her husband has already married another girl(not the one he had an affair with) and took her daughter away from her, fortunately my mother hired a lawyer who decided to take case to the court only later her husband return the daughter to her.
of all the ordeal she went through she still went back to that Mofo for the security
rather than be independent on her own.
Thanks Jinn and tonic
