Yoruba_Jesus: Be thankful the guy on the other end is a priest. At least you are sure he didnt do IT with your wifey. Are you saying that because you still have some faith in mankind...or simply because he is a "reverend father" |

You might wanna report this priest to the Bishop or Archbishop. |

Nashville: My brother, my advice is that you forgive her. Sounds silly but forgive her. From your story, you have alot to thank God for, a beautiful family, good health, properties all over and you have been a great husband. If your wife decides to betray you, it is not your fault but hers alone. As hard as it is, look around you and thank God. Sit her down and tell her you know she has built the house. Tell her how disappointed you are but let her know you have already forgiven her. I never knew there still people like this on NL. I thought NL is now full of children........ Just like @Nashville has rightly said, just forgive her, I tell you this is a minor issue compare to what's happening in some family.. I don't pray for any of such for you.............. |

normaljenny: My brother, I have seen lots of advices here some are good and some are not good. Kneeling down and begging for forgiveness is no big deal. I can do it too with like 20 mins crying added to it. My candid advice is: All your points are moot! Why shouldn't e woman keep the documents to her own house? You should also tell her to hand over her salary every month to her husband. Its people like you that destroy marriages with all your bad advice. Simply tell the man to forgive and move on with his life. @ OP, pls don't listen to this clown. Find a place in your heart to forgive her. Try and rekindle the love you guys felt forbeah other that prompted you to get married. You will be surprised at the change that will take place in your marriage as a result. 2 Likes |

Ujujoan:Thanks you for you warm response. Deep down in me, I was not raining curses on her. I have discovered in life. some vital things we cannot push aside when it comes the issue of marriage.One of the things is the issue of trust which is the pillar holds any marriage together. Transparency should be the watch-word,not hidden from each other.In marriage when there is concrete agreement of how things should work out in a marriage,there would peace.There is no way peace can reign if both are having secrect here and there. |

my brother the Lord is your strength. Just take it easy, don't just change your attitude to your wife .Don't think you have the worst woman on earth. Please forgive her and try to be the best husband you could be. Just give her one more chance but always be by her side to guide her. |

Chatters: There's no point hearing the wife's side as long as she has admitted to have built the house. Whatever her husband must have done doesn't warrant this. Why should a wife keep such thing away from her husband...even with the connivance of their pastor? Sending her away isn't the best solution though. But I see no need probing beyond necessary in this case. |
Re: Priest Aids Wife To Build Without Husband's Knowledge by Reptyle(m): 2:33pm On Oct 29, 2013 |
@ OP From your story, it seems to me that your wife is a good woman who has made a few misguided decisions in life. At least she was contrite enough to apologize and ask for forgiveness when you confronted her. I know a number of women that will tell you to go to hell!!! Don't mind all these people here telling you to drive her away. There is absolutely no guarantee that the one you replace her with will be any better. God brought y'all together for a reason. Humble yourself and ask God for wisdom and guidance to help you deal with this issue. Forgive your wife and move on. As for your shock at finding out that the priest who joined you both is part of your wife's scheming, do not be shocked! He is but a man. 1 Like |

When I get married, I would live far; I mean very far away from my family, and my wife must do the same thing too. We can always talk on phone, visit once in a while; that's how far it could get. As with the priest, there shall be no unnecessary visitation to my house, any donation from my household would be anonymously given. |

2ndChance: I have seen similar threads on this topic before but never imagined it could happen in my marriage. Honestly, here is my take on this. Was your wife wrong to have not informed you of her building project? Perhaps. But here is the thing, a lot of Nigerian-bred men become intimidated when their wife decides to build a house. They feel that she will no longer be submissive to them as before. The same train of thought occurs when an average Nigerian-bred male finds out that his wife earns more money than he does. All of a sudden, their ego feels bruised and katakata starts in the home. So, your wife probably felt that if she told you she wanted to build a house, you might not have agreed and would have used the excuse that you people already have properties scattered all over and there is no need to start acquiring or building another house. In addition, building a house someday might have been your wife's childhood dream and she does not want anyone getting in the way of her fulfilling that dream. Next, I am going to look at this scenario from a different point of view. Nigeria is a country that sadly does not protect women. In the western world, should a man pass away, the wife by default inherits any property the couple shared except the couple had agreed otherwise before the spouse's demise. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard true life stories of Nigerian women who stood and struggled with their husbands till he became rich. But as soon as the man died, his family - both immediate and extended - came along and threw the woman and her kids out on the street leaving her with nothing. Sometimes, the family of the man will come up with outrageous theories that insist that the wife killed their son and hence she cannot retain any part of the properties the man ever had. This is even though both husband and wife worked very hard side by side to acquire all they had gotten. That is the reality of things in Nigeria. Nigeria's judicial system is equally nothing to write home about because they don't protect the widows of this society. In fact, Nigerian society is against the woman and women are against their fellow women as well. When a woman get's thrown out of her matrimonial home or becomes a widow, she generally has nowhere to turn to. So, I cannot blame your wife for coming up with a plan B. This is Nigeria and not America where in the event of a divorce, properties are split equally between the couple - as long as no prenuptial was signed - or in the event of spousal death, the woman and her children keep the property. So any Nigerian woman married to a Nigerian-bred man and living in Nigeria will do well to protect herself from any eventualities. You may think your wife is being evil but the truth of the matter is that Nigerian society is wicked to women and do not protect them. If I was a Nigerian woman married to a Nigerian-bred man and raising a family in Nigeria, you best believe I will pull a similar stunt. No woman wants to build a home with a man and then when he dies, the man's greedy family relations who never contributed anything will come from the village and start talking crap about how the culture says that the properties of their late brother is now theirs. This is Africa and African women should wake up and do whatever is necessary for their survival and the survival of their offspring. My 2 cents. 7 Likes |

You advise the man to do things exactly the way God says not to, and then proceed on a fast afterwards so that the same God will keep his family intact |
Re: Priest Aids Wife To Build Without Husband's Knowledge by GoodFaith: 2:48pm On Oct 29, 2013 |
normaljenny: gave you the best advice If the woman is not guilty she would not have asked for forgiveness There are lot of bad mother in-laws out there Call your parents tell them to stay away from the problem with your wife That all you need from they are prayers ( that God should direct you to make the best decision for your family) Go on your kneels ask God to direct your decision and take one day at a time Don't bring your parents, your sisters to your family problem because you might forgive your wife but your mother and sisters will not forgive her and that will became an issue for you She must be from Edo state I know of a woman that secretly build a house and some of this women end up becoming single mama The husband found out people came to ask the husband for forgiveness, dude forgave her She did it the second time The dude was very patience Sold their house told her that they are going to buy other big house The dude took the check All the people that said the wife did a good thing by not informing her husband May your husband , wife and your brother's wife treat your sister and brothers the same wat AMEN |

Don't know what to say but this is a clear case of betrayal. This woman was actually planning for life without you. Your wife doesn't respect or fear you anymore,and you gave room for somethings you shouldn't have allowed. Let that priest feel the heat at the minimum and be watchful henceforth.........I have a very bad feeling about this something doesn't sound right. |

I have a big smile on my face as I write this,I'll usually read amused and move on but I feel compelled to write this for the sake of any unfortunate people pleasing Nigerian woman out there reading this..... Have your own assests completely seperate from your husbands.Either you do it with his permission or not is completely @ ur discretion but be sure it happens.If he's the bullying type hide it well beneath layers of legal paperwork and shadow names and procedures Its the same Nigeria that the properties that's supposed to belong to the mans family in his absence gets shared by the inlaws,or the happens a lot scenario where he can kicks his wife out for the most flimsy reasons,or when she's 50 for a younger option,and my personal favourite where the guy can marry a 2nd or 3rd wife to..... Share or simply take over all you've saved,sacrificed and suffered so hard to aquire. if you're not working,use his money,if you're working,use yours.If you agree to what's mine is yours and what is yours is mine,then make sure the legal papers do not bear mr and mrs xyz but mr george and mrs rose xyz.anybody can be mrs xyz only u can be mrs rose xyz u get?.Take a cue from the supposedly rich and powerful bianca still having to fight inlaws despite a will and all, aderinokun of gtb with the wife putting up the fight with "the others"a word for the wise Lastly If we all stopped been hypocrites and stand to address the ills in our soceity,then no one should really begrudge a woman having her own assets,if she hides it from an unapproving husband and gets "caught" all the shouts of send her out butresses the very need for their seperating investments. My point,a true man should know in truth,his wifes money is her money and what she does with, her bussiness so long as the family is safe and fed which is his duty. 6 Likes 1 Share |

She stopped being your wife the day she started building the house without your knowledge and that so called reverend or whatever should be queried. I know a married woman that was seeing a similar reverend for counseling on her troubled marriage, but ended up as his wife. 2 Likes |
