Dear dtanigwe, I'd like to share my own story with you, which is a complete contrast in itself. 6 years ago I married to my first boyfriend, an Igbo man from Aba, Abia state. I was 19 at the time and a bit of a late bloomer ![]() After getting married, we had a huge disagreement and didn't speak for 2 years, I must add, that we were living in different countries at the time, he in Sweden and I in Germany, I also went to the UK for a year in the meantime. At one point I decided to file for divorce, as I the whole thing was just intoxicating, I couldn't live with loving him and being so torn up and far away yet feeling so abandoned and misunderstood. But I received a text from him that changed my mind and made me want to give it all a second chance. So I moved to Sweden, not knowing the language and him being my only contact person there. It turned out to be that I didn't know him at all before, I opened a company with him, so he could quit his night job, seeing him work all through the night was killing me, and it wore him out. But in his eyes I was too big, and he started fighting with me over it, I lost over 40 kg in less than a year, but with him beating me up on top of it and never giving me the love or attention I needed, and I don't need much. He would tell me, if I annoy him or speak when he doesn't want me to speak, he would have the right to shut me up by punching me in the face. Long story short, after 1 and a half years of mistreatment and delirium, his application for a permanent stay in Sweden was rejected and we went to my country together, where it all continued to the extend that when I got pregnant two years ago, he kicked me in the stomach and kicked in the bathroom door after I locked myself up in it, being scared. He was arrested and taken away but I still took him back, after all I was pregnant with his child and couldn’t imagine raising it alone. But I was jet to be horrified the more…. he kept on fighting with me of the silliest things and put mine and our child’s life in danger by hitting me and torturing me mentally. My daughter was born at 25 weeks into the pregnancy, due to a placental abruption. Severe distress had put me in hospital 2 times before that already and I kept having complications up until then. My daughter lived for only 7 days and he never got to see her, since he told me upfront he would take her from me if he gets to see her and before that told me I should cook soup with her. This is when I filed for divorce and kicked him out of my apartment. He didn’t work, just went to a German course for three hours a day and would sleep through the rest of the day or sit in front of the PC. I paid for everything and worked a 10 hour job throughout my pregnancy. I don’t miss a second of it! He seems to now still be getting his stay after getting another girl pregnant, I feel sorry for her…. But I found my happy ending ! I am since seeing an Igbo guy who is studying here in the UK, who doesn’t need me for papers, just for who I am. He is kind, honest, loving and caring. Everything I never had in my marriage. I in no way could compare him to my ex, and he is a true example for all good Nigerians. It truly isn’t all of them who are bad, and I am being told I am crazy to even consider being with another Nigerian man…. But honestly, people are different and I wouldn’t miss a second without this wonderful and amazing man. I consider myself blessed !

Hi, I am sure many of you have heard about the belief of witch children in Akwa Ibom, I have known about the happening there for about 4 years now and have been wanting to do sth about it. I spoke to a friend of mine who is into Charity Work and have joined Stepping Stones Nigeria as well. I have been wanting to help build a school and shelter in one of the rural areas of Akwa Ibom, where education is hardly accessible. I believe that every child has deserves the right to a childhood. This is not anything like a childhood for them, being tortured and sometimes even killed by their own parents, and being so absolutely vulnerable, and not able to defend themselves, it is so unjust. But I have been thinking tirelessly about how a school and shelter could benefit the children and provide a bit of an escape as well as the opportunity to be educated and taught reality. My heart bleeds when I just think about this happening right this second again somewhere. I would like to get some ideas, suggestions and thoughts on providing a tiny part of a solution. Thank you! |
No mind am, some no know wetin dem get |
Once upon a time when your imagination and focus was merely set upon yourself, I am sure you were not able to see just how much I had within. Your tormenting and the pain you caused me, you justified them with nothing but lies, and in your blindness you did not see how much I was hurting deep inside. The bruises and wounds on the surface have nearly all healed now, but the scars on my soul will forever remain. I am so surprised that on this day the Lord has let you wake up in the morning realising just how much you have lost in losing me. Suddenly it is all clear to you, that I never did you wrong by loving you, never meant to see you hurt, never meant to see you cry. And all the painful words you yelled, all the abuse you have put me through, it all dawned on you that it was in fact not just. For I am very surely the most honest person that has ever been in your life, the most caring woman you ever set your eyes upon. But unfortunately, your realisation has come far too late, for my heart belongs to someone else already. God is holding my heart safe today, safe from people like you. I do pray nonetheless, that my Lord shall grant mercy upon your repentant soul. For once upon a time I loved you with every bit of me. |
pleep: So many crazy and excitable ppl on this site.I absolutely agree with you, makes you wonder where they left their intelligence |
@odumchi like I said it is just an observation and as stated, not only about two men but several, both friends, relationships and friends' relationships. I in no way meant to say that all Igbo men are like this anyway but even Igbo men themselves have told me this is true about themselves. No yawa now ![]() |
PAGAN 9JA:wat nonsense, u get mouth but e be like say u no get brain behind am, pfeeahh |
This is by no means an intenion of offence to anyone being from Igbo heritage, but merely an observation made by me and friends of mine who have been with Igbo men for years. In 7 years of being in relationships with two Igbo men and being good friends with some for years as well, I have observed very strongly and sometimes painfully that in numerous occasions, their pride and ego seems to be holding them back from progressing in certain parts of their lives. Over the years I have found Igbo men to be very independent and intelligent, very thriving too. But what I have repeatedly come across, is that they are very reluctant when it comes to asking for help or advise, it seems to me as if they consider themselves weak, having to do so and yet they get very disappointed in themselves, when they can't seem to reach up to their enormously high set goals on their own, feeling ashamed of themselves. When it comes to problems arising, they struggle very hard to find a solution on their own and in the process shutting people out who care about them, leaving them to feel absolutely helpless and out of place, with no clue just what to do about it. I guess it must be deeply rooted, as it is so difficult to approach them in a way that is not offensive to them in this time of their trials. I always say, that someone who loves you should be informed about whatever problems you are facing, as they can be part of your solution. In many relationships I have heard about, women really struggle to understand their men and the Igbo men struggle to open up and not take care of everthing on their own. It can be poisenous to a relationship and lead to terrible outcomes. My ex used to beat me up, simply because I couldn't stop trying to get him to open up and I ended up being miserable, crying so many times, I just wanted to know what is going on and be of help. I now do not get so much involved but do do say that I am there and I have an open ear and a caring heart. In the end it is your decision what you do with your troubles, but it would be easier for all people involved, if you'd open up, God did not create humans to be able to handle life completely on their own. In love to all my brothers ! Life is too short yo spend it grieving. Start rejoycing and don't worry so much about problems that don't live past today. The solution might be just around the corner. Your loved ones will thank you! Igbo kwenu ! |
na wao, maka gini ? I no understand dose people. Wetin be deir problem now? Dem no respect life at all, Chineke m |
if you are still with him, free your heart ! Dont stay sad. Right now, things with my bf arent as smooth, but I am doing my best and he sees my effort, as the problem is sth he alone is going through actually, and I am helping the much I can, trying not to feel too bad, cause he is so occupied and feels down. He has done alot for me! And I appreciate and love him. But anytime I am not happy with things he says or does, I tell him. I wont stay miserable in a relationship again. You go girl !! You are worth more !!! |
Hello dear, I absolutely feel you. I was with an Igbo man for 6 years, married when I was 19, and the marriage lasted for 5 years. I am now divorced and have an Igbo bf. My relationship with my husband was dreadful, absolutely horrible. I was so insecure at that time and he isolated me from family and friends. The last 3 years of the marriage he kept beating me up and he even got arrested twice. I was always questioned what Im doing and where I am going, at a point I just told him upfront, cause I was tired of being asked. Then he said I should not disturb him with every detail of my miserable days, yeah ! He absolutely drove me insane. I was a good wife, not perfect, but we spent 3 years apart and 2 years of those we were not a couple, we didnt even talk. So I had other relationships, and I believe he did as well, (saw pics of him with other women, but he denies it til today). He forbid me to call his relatives although he knew every single one of mine and could talk to them whenever he wished to. He also said he will never take me to Nigeria, cause he is ashamed of me. He made me so so miserable. There were times when he didnt speak to me for 2 months continously. I could never ask any question and could never follow him anywhere really, unless my coming was for a purpose for him. |
