 Crime › He Caught Her Romancing His Best Friend And Killed Her by blacklion(op): 2:24pm On Mar 09, 2008 |
Acid bath:Sad end of ‘unfaithful wife’ I caught her romancing my best friend and killed her, Husband Written by SIMON EBEGBULEM Sunday, 09 March 2008 The Vanguard He bathed his estranged wife of over fifteen years with acid on January 5, because he allegedly caught her romancing with his best friend, in their matrimonial home. Though Mr. Alex Ojegba is full of regrets today for his action, he still blames the deceased wife for the ugly incident. He had in the early hours of that fateful day poured undiluted acid on the wife at number 20, Owena Street, Ekenwan Road Benin City where they resided with their two children. But following a tip off from relatives of the deceased, he was arrested a month later by men of Ogida Police Station. When Sunday Vanguard spoke to the suspect at Edo State Police Command, last Tuesday, he confessed that his deceased wife, Esther Oghali Ojiegba, who died a month after the acid bath, had been unfaithful to him since he got married to her. He prayed God to forgive him his sin and said he would plead for leniency in court so that he would not be hanged for the heinous act. Sunday Vanguard spoke exclusively to the suspect at the Edo State Police Command. Excerpts: WHAT do you do for a living? I trade in provisions. You were alleged to have killed your wife. How did it happen? I met my wife when she was very young. The family members knew I was going out with her and later on she got pregnant for me. She gave birth to the child and we called him Efe. But after some time, she said she was going to Benin, because we were staying at the village. But I told her that, that was not our arrangement, that we planned that we were going to save money so that while I would be trading in the village, she would be doing the same in Benin because, as it was then, we were yet to save money that could open a shop for her in Benin. But she insisted that she would go, that she had met somebody who was going to help her, I reluctantly said okay. Before I knew what happening, she had already gone to Benin. The next thing I heard was that she was going out with another man and that she had a baby girl called Rita for the man. This was in 1999. That period, I always went there to see my son, Efe. I did not go to their house directly, I always saw my son at the home of one of their relatives. So around 2005, she came to the village with my son to see me. I was very happy because I had not seen my son for years. So I entertained them when my friends and other well wishers stormed my house to see my son. After they ate, my wife now told me that there was something that she would like to tell me. I told her that I thought she only came to show me my son, but I told her to feel free to tell me what brought her to me. So she narrated to me that the man she married died, that the man was a drunkard and died after he fell ill. So she wanted to come back to me so that we could live as husband and wife again. But I told her that she had to tell her family members and that I will also consult with my own family. After I consulted my own family members, they advised me to forgive her, that such things happen sometimes. So I went to Lagos with her to see one of her aunties. After that, we went to see her father and her elder brother and then we started staying together. We enjoyed a cordial relationship, no problem at all. But after some time, her behaviour changed. At times, when we closed our shop at about 10 p.m., she would tell me that she was coming and I would not see her again till the following morning. She would come back to tell me that she went some where with her friend who was a neighbour. The problem was that each time I queried her, she would start shouting at me. So I went to report to her elder brother who assured me that he would invite her so that he could talk to her. Infact the situation became worse, we no longer talked to each other. Why I bathed her with acid: I suffered for this woman and if not for me she would have died a long time ago. We had a site that we were developing. Though she was the one bringing the money for the building, I was the one supervising it. But, unknown to me, the engineer working with us, who is my good friend, was sleeping with her. Because the engineer is my friend, there is no way I would have suspected both of them. How did you catch them? The first day I noticed something was going on was the day I went to her store, I met both of them eating rice together but because he is my good friend I did not suspect them, I only greeted them and went away. The second time, I travelled to the village because I normally travel every Friday to come back on Sunday. When I was leaving that day, I told her that I would be coming on Sunday but when I got to the village, what I was supposed to handle was not ready; so I had to come back on Saturday. That Saturday, at about 12 p.m., I got to Benin and went to the store straight. I saw my son and asked after his mother, he told me she had gone home and I went home. Romancing with engineer When I got home, I saw my wife and the engineer romancing in my room. I was shocked. I asked my friend, Heavy D (the engineer), why are you doing this? He said that they were just playing. But I was really annoyed with my wife. I asked her why she was doing this; she started shouting at me as usual. The one that made me mad was the day she forgot her phone at home and I was in the house. Her phone started ringing and I picked the call, I asked who was it and he identified himself as Heavy D. He said he wanted to talk to my wife and I told him my wife was not at home. I told him to talk to me but he refused to talk to me. So I told him to call in ten minutes time. When he called back, I had to change my voice like that of my wife and he told me to come and meet him at Onion Guest House where they normally met. After our discussion, I went to see my wife, dropped her phone with her and went to the Onion Guest House. When I dropped from the bike that took me there, I saw the man coming and he shunned me as if he did not know me. I became angry. I went to see one of her brothers called Godwin and told him what the sister was doing. He told me that he was aware, that he had been hearing several stories about my wife, that it was for this sort of thing that they bathed people with acid. I now asked him where I could get acid. He told me that it was not difficult to get, that he would assist me get the acid. He bought the acid and I went home with it and bathed her with it. Where is the Godwin now? He is in Oko Prisons. I asked my wife why was it that even when she was wrong, she would not accept mistakes and change. She said that I should get out of her sight, that she had told me before that I would die. That is why I became very angry and poured the acid on her. Any regrets. I actually did it out of provocation but I am regretting my action now. I will plead for leniency.

Dalby:dalby, you need to explain slowly and carefully to him so that he will FINALLY get the joke. here, let me help tpia, his referring to diasporans and accountants is a joke about the fact that naijas in america and other developed countries have to acquire 'accounting skills' by force in order to complete their tax returns accurately and submit same. tax collection is a joke in naija and so peeps at home don't need to learn how to complete a tax return got it now? pls go slow on that your favourite smoke!!! |

@ tpia, i don't particularly care to know what you're smoking but its clearly frying your brains. dalby is merely pulling your legs but here you are going ballistic. What's wrong with you? Its a common joke among Nigerians back home that folks in the diaspora are all poop packers and cabdrivers. What's your stress jo? FYI, we're on the web. I don't give a friggin f@#$ where you live or what you do. Focus on the key questions. Its not my fault that you left Nigeria long ago and no longer understand pidgin English. Go look for naija folks to teach you @ d-reloaded - same applies to you. this website is called nairaland and its a Nigerian website. I will use pidgin or Queen's English as and when I see fit. If you don't understand pidgin English at all or any longer, sorry too bad for you. Make an effort to learn the Nigerian lingo if you want to be with naija people. |

Nene, If breaking up with your BF has brought peace to your mind, all well and good. But I don't see why you should abandon your marriage plans just because one unhappy woman is supposedly threatening your life. She's just dry raking - making empty threats in her hurt, anger and disappointment. Men and women disappoint each other all the time and tend to utter dire threats when disappointed. I have trader uncles who sponsored girls through university only to be dumped when the girls graduated. Of course, they huffed and puffed and swore to kill the girls but at the end, none of them was willing to hang for one ungrateful biatch. They eventually moved on and married other women. This girl will eventually get over Nelson disappointing her and marry someone else. I also have some realistic advice to offer. Compared with many or most Nigerian men, your BF is even good to have had jus one other girl. Most naija guys will usually date several girls at a time until they decide which to marry and then discharge the rest. I suspect that is what Nelson did or - it could have been as Teriba suggested above [good points Teriba]. By all means, punish Nelson for creating this mess. But I think you were too hasty in cancelling the wedding. Its not your fault that Nelson loves you more than the other girl. |

windywendy:madam feminazi, pls re-read my post carefully. i did not say "women have unrealistic expectations of romantic love". I said precisely that Hollywood and Mills and Boon have created "unrealistic expectations of romantic love" in Western societies and that these notions are affecting relationships and marriage negatively. believe it or not, there is a difference between these two concepts by this i meant that people in western societies are psychologically conditioned or pressured to believe that there is some sort of gold standard for romantic relationships or marriage as defined in romance novels or Hollywood movies. but real life is very different from tinseltown or the pages of a novel. the dissonance between hollywood makebelieve and the real life ordinary people's loves and marriages often makes people expect or desire more than is actually realistic and causes them to become disaffected. pronto, marriages collapse, innocent kids are marooned etc case in point - that there is the ONE way to propose to a woman and anything but is 'unromantic', 'rude', 'domineering' etc |

In Nigeria's ornate brand of English, Victorian words dance with African grammar By Edward Harris THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tucson, Arizona | Published: 03.03.2008 LAGOS, Nigeria — In Nigeria, people felicitate the successful, police open cans of worms on cutlass-brandishing miscreants, and the criminal rascals meet their Waterloo. Touts, urchins, and heaps of calumny: Nigerian English melds Victorian-era vocabulary inherited from long-gone British colonialists with the grammatical structures and syntax that underpin indigenous languages in Africa's most populous nation. The results can be ornate, oddly understated, or remarkably apt. But in a rapidly globalizing world, some worry that Nigerians will be handicapped by an English that differs from the language of board rooms and Internet bulletin boards. For Adeyemi Daramola, an English professor at University of Lagos, it's a quandary: As an academic, he finds Nigerian usage fascinating and indicative of rich and varied influences. But he worries that it's undermining local languages, leaving younger generations unable to speak their parents' native tongue and conversant only in an argot not easily understood outside Nigeria. "As a teacher, we want to see these differences. We're pleased with our geographical difference, and our semantic differences," he says. "But we're at a crossroads now where some people don't understand standard English, and also not their indigenous tongue," he says. "And that's a tragedy because then you don't belong anywhere." As a colony, Nigeria was very lightly settled by Europeans. A few hundred administrators came, along with Christian missionaries who taught English so that converts could read the Bible. When Nigeria became independent in 1960, it adopted English as the language of instruction and administration. Within borders drawn in colonial times, Nigeria's 140 million people speak hundreds of languages, and "English is the language of national unity," says Daramola. "In a multilingual situation, it serves the people." Others disagree, saying English is a colonial import whose widespread usage excludes the rural and less educated. It has developed over the years with a Nigerian twist. For example, a TV isn't switched on or off — it's "on-ed" or "off-ed." A Nigerian congratulating someone on a success or victory will likely "felicitate" him rather than offer felicitations. Similarly, people are invited to "jubilate," or celebrate, a triumph. Sentence structure often reflects local languages, says Daramola. In the Yoruba language, adjectives can be altered by repeating them. So in Nigerian English a very small boy would be a "small, small boy." Also, Yoruba English speakers may "smell" soup, rather than taste it, because the words are similar in Yoruba. "The influence of native languages have combined to make performance a little peculiar," says the introduction to the textbook "Nigerian English," published in 2004. "The Nigerian variant of English seems to have emerged since there are so many influences impinging on its acquisition and use in its new home." Many words are simply holdovers from the colonial era. Eateries are called "Chop Houses" — once popular but now all but vanished from Britain. Upset stomach? Take "gripe water." Puncture? Take the tire to the "vulcanizer." Street children are "urchins," and police often brand criminals as "touts," "rascals," or "miscreants" who carry "cutlasses" — machetes. In reporting crime, Nigerian newspapers say police open a can of worms when raiding criminal hideouts. A dead or jailed robber is often said to meet his Waterloo. Politicians "heap calumny" on those they accuse of corruption. In another influence of Nigerian languages, no letter is missed when speaking English. Fuel is FOO-el. A receipt is a "re-seeped," and yacht frequently rhymes with hatched. Wednesday is pronounced exactly as written — Wed-nes-day — and a leopard rhymes with leotard. In many areas of southern Nigeria where the Yoruba predominate, an "o" is added to the end of a word to add emphasis, a practice in the Yoruba language. Most noticeable is a shout of "Sorry-o!" to someone who trips or suffers another misfortune. While Internet and satellite TV access exposes ever greater numbers of Africans to standard English, Nigerians are fusing the lingo of the World Wide Web with their own patois. Who's behind those infamous e-mails promising lucrative payoffs for hiding an African potentate's ill-gotten gains? In Nigeria, the press is filled with the exploits of the "Yahoo-Yahoo boys," from the e-mail and search-engine company used by many of the scammers. "I entered the Yahoo business just to survive after I was robbed of all my money," one man explained. "There is money in Yahoo but one is not always lucky. Sometimes in two months you can make $200 — but we pray for a big catch." |

tpia:Fight ke?! Me with these eaglets? No min dem. Ah dey talk my own jeje na im all the feminazi for nairaland surface thinkng sey they can intimidate the black lion himself with their usual tactics of crude abuse and snide comments. Its truly a tragedy to see a black man invoke Tarzan stereotypes in the 21st century. You have a lot of reading up to do. What next? If I invoke naija culture, you will dredge up rituals and cannibalism, abi? Western society is afflicted by feminazi ideology and liberal stupidity - unfortunately too many African females swallow the Western worldview wholesale without looking at the downsides e.g. to see what has become of marriage and the family in the West especially among black Americans. I repeat Mills and Boon plus Hollywood have a lot to answer for - they've created unrealistic expectations of romantic love - in fact, more or less created a new human right to romantic love which is simply unrealistic. It is these unrealistic notions and expectations that have destroyed marriage and the family in America. |

Radiant:What if the guy is clumsy with words? What is his command of English is dodgy? What if his choice of words was affected by the elliptical Nigerian syntax? Is the use of 'I have finally decided, ' sufficient to justify the GF's asking him to shove his proposal? Some peeps here are fixated with the guy being supposedly domineering or rude or perceiving himself as doing the lady a 'favour'; but few ladies have stopped to consider how hurt this guy must have been to have his marriage proposal thrown back at him in such a brusque manner? As AJ pointed out, a more appropriate response could have been to do the usual Nigerian woman coy act e.g. 'I need to think about it, ' or 'lets pray over it, ' and then later point out to him that his choice of language was poor to say the least and possibly rude. After the guy re-formulates the proposal, the lady can then swoon in accepting his proposal to the violins and the fragrance of roses, Two wrongs don't make a right! |

Shebi all of them na under-18? No wonder dia mouth dey sharp anyhow for nairaland. Make we see weda in real life, by the time they reach 30-plus, weda them go dey front all this front wey them dey front now. One thing I have learnt in life is that the guy or babe who is urging u to 'don't tolerate any nonsense' from your friend/wife/hubby is receiving even bigger bullshit at home from their own friend/spouse. But they will come out in public to encourage you to destroy your own relationship while they stomach all kinds of nonsense in order to keep theirs. The guy is clumsy - perhaps issues with command of English language. But is that a good reason to risk throwing away 4 years of relationship just like that? What if the guy took offence and walked away? Who is the loser? Aisha's friend. But Aisha who is running her mouth here anyhow will prolly swallow even greater nonsense to keep her own relationship. Husband scarce well well for naija - if you like dey dere dey deceive yourself |
