What a best decision.

People keep underrating okafor.
Why are you hesitant of divorcing a woman who has gone over the line?
Fear of what exactly? Losing the pum?
You both will still co parent, but you have relieved yourself of committments.
You will still enjoy her if the sweetness is what is turning your head.
If you pass on young in your husband's house, and your family loving your hubby, will not investigate your death?
Bc ause they don't want to cause him trauma? Your parents are not mourning? Or they don't need closure?
Then your hubby now dictates to your parent to be taken to cemetry?
Is it about like?
The deceased could be your father, son, brother.
Most times many assumes it will be their husband and they will alswsys be in line as custodian of estates.
It could be you.
You need to be diplomatic in your relationship with people.
Took me a while to learn that, there was a man who did not hold back from saying no.
It seemed within his right, after a while he had made a lot of enemies, meanwhile there was another man who also said no but with lots of empathy and story story.
Your no can be respectful, empathic and keep your reputation.
That is why "let me see what I can do" is sometimed better than a no.
My uncle asked my elder brother for ₦700,000, but my brother told him he didn’t have the money.
When my uncle listed his land for sale so he could raise the money, my brother went behind his back and used a third party to buy it.
When my uncle discovered that my elder brother was the one who bought the land, he confronted him, saying, “You claimed you didn’t have money to give me, yet you had money to buy only my land.”
He reminded my uncle of the time when he was doing well financially and he asked him for money, but he refused.
He then made my elder brother work in his poultry farm for four months before finally giving him ₦90,000 in 2021.

It's hard for a health facility to confirm a diagnosis of such without advising you to seek a second opinion.
Today makes it exactly 4 years since a health centre alleged that I was HIV-positive. I was 8 months pregnant at the time.
I cried my eyes out, ran home, and told my husband. He said, "It can’t be possible, baby." He took me to our main hospital, where I got tested again, and the result came back negative.
We went to two other hospitals after that, and the results were all negative.
My husband stormed that health centre in anger, only for the Chief to casually come out and apologize, saying their test kits had expired and they had no idea until then. They had discarded all the kits before us and admitted that the government had promised to supply them with a new batch. However, since they were yet to receive it, they decided to continue managing the expired ones.
Imagine the emotional trauma they put me through especially when I was 8 months pregnant! and this would've put a dent in my marraige.
Nigeria. 💔
Why always women having this issues?
If we hear from the SIL sides, this might take another narrative.
People saying trauma are being imaginational.
Do you know the true trauma when you need to connect with your loved one, or create memorial rituals, but they are far away in a cemetry, where many more bodies have been buried?
Do you think cemetry in 9ja are well maintained?
You won't even have access easily.
Also, what I have seen is when a person dies, their fathers' family decides the proceedings.
If it was the wofe that died, the hubby family don't have the right to bury her, the wife's father's family makes that decision and it is usually final except they abdicate that.
If it is about property interest, it even helps her case, having the husband buried there.
I heard that Toluwanisings' wife does not want her husband's corpse to be buried in his huse but at the cemetery while the father wants his son's corpse to be buried in his son's house.
Why are some women like this? What does she stand to gain from refusing her husband to be buried in the house he built himself? Does she plan to sell of the house after his burial?
Honestly both gender are dying ay equal rates.
This is really troubling 😱😱😱.
The oldest obituary there is 36yrs old. A lot of married men are in unhappy marriages but are bottling it all up in their quest to hold it all together, coupled with the pressure of providing in this current economy.
Men, if she’s not giving you peace, send her back to where you picked her from. Your life also matters.
Is she the one dropping the money?
Or how does a bro fufiling his own obligations to his extended family translate to his wife being good?
Can someone break it down?
A man being a good man does not imoly his wife his good.
What if his wife is telling him not to send but bro ignores and sends regardless? You will still thank the woman?
If a woman is sending money home does the man get a good man?
Let's hear from the man first.
We need balanced view.
A woman is not stupid enough to just move back to 9ja, you left UK to 9ja?

I WAS 47, BUT MY MANAGER WAS 32. I CALLED HIM SIR!
Never let your age, qualifications or experience stop you from respecting others. And don’t turn your workplace into a battlefield. Positions are temporary.
Years ago, while working in banking, I reported to several managers. One was my university classmate. We graduated together, but he studied Computer Science while I studied Graphic Design.
Years later, we joined the same organisation. He became a manager, while I was a banking officer.
Whenever he called me, I simply responded, “Yes, sir!”
I never felt threatened by his position. We may have graduated together, but we were not meant to fulfil the same assignment in life. His journey was his, and mine was mine.
I knew my current job was only one chapter of my life. I didn’t need to compete with him or measure my progress against his promotion.
At 47, I also had a manager who was 32. I respected him and gave him my full cooperation. His position did not diminish my potential, just as my age did not diminish his authority.
Here is the lesson:
Never turn someone else’s promotion into evidence of your failure. Your colleague may become your manager. Someone younger than you may be placed in authority over you. Respect them.
Their elevation is not your humiliation, and their success is not your defeat.
Remember, the office, title and reporting structure are temporary. Don’t destroy lasting relationships because of temporary positions.
If you are in authority, treat people with dignity. Leadership is not a licence to humiliate others.
You don’t have to be ahead of everyone to fulfil your purpose. Run your race, respect those ahead of you, encourage those behind you and stay committed to your assignment.
The office is temporary. Your purpose is bigger than your position.
❤️🙏🏿
