This arrangement left her feeling exploited and financially strained and she regretted going the extreme to make her man smile.
In her words:
“My life is so private. Nobody knows that during my NYSC days, I used to earn N79,800 monthly but I’ll give all the money to my husband, then take loan from online apps just to be able to pay transport to my PPA. Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop was my story. Walking out of that marriage gave me one of the best things ever – “FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE and CONTROL” I am happy, blessed and proud. Ahhhhhh. It was something I was subjected to ooo I didn’t have a choice.”
