I need your readers advice. I got married about 10 years ago to a man i dated for almost 4 years.

All was well before we got married.

While dating, we used to stay some 400KM apart and he was working and I had also a teaching job in my city.

After the death of my mother (while still dating) I had a responsibility of looking after my siblings and my orphaned nieces and nephews who were staying with my mother before she died.

After a year we had our traditional marriage and I fell pregnant a month later. While I was 3 months pregnant, one day I was looking at our wedding photos where I saw a little boy on one of the photos, who was looking just exactly as my husband.

When I asked my hubby about the parents of the boy, he told me he was his son. When I asked him further questions, he told me he had 6 children.

It was also discovered that 2 of the kids were born while we were still dating and before we were married. (Mind you I was that time pregnant, lost my mum and left my teaching job to stay with him).

I was very much devastated and almost ran mad. I met some counsellors but all what was said was for me to stay with my hubby so as he could be looking after me for my unborn baby's sake.

I stayed with him and on top of his 6 kids we were staying with his brothers, sisters and nieces too. It was a very trying time for me. My baby was born (very cute) and things worsen.

He was siding with his relatives to abuse me in many ways like (not providing for the baby's needs, not regarding me as the wife, prioritising his siblings' problems, beating me up and not allowing me to contribute as to how to run our family, seeking advice from his parents before doing anything etc).

I was praying to God always to set me free but you know our God is always faithful and will never disappoint us. I got a very good job, my salary was x5 his salary, a company car, with school fees for my little one to a very good school in town and other a lot of previledges.

Things changed instantly, his siblings moved out of the house one by one because they were ashamed looking at how they used to treat me before I got a job and my husband was always on my knees begging for forgiveness. Li, even though I have managed to stay with this man for 9/10 years now, it was because I had no where to go and I couldn't manage to raise my kid without any job.

Now that I have a job of my own I am suggesting of moving out and rent an apartment for myself and my son. Its been 3 years since I got the job and It was a very busy one at first and I couldnt think of moving out. Since those 3 years he has been acting so innocent, committed, obedient (he has been showing lots of care) but i dont know if its because of my job or love or if he has come back to his senses. I am very much confused and needs help

Note: He took advantage of my situation to abuse me and our own son.

He was there when I lost my mother and he funded for the funeral

He did all what a loving man could do to save the life of my mother and supported us when we had no one to assist.

But also the betrayal is just too much for me and I cant stand it.(am not doing this because i have been blessed with a good job but i do not have peace of mind)

Some panic stricken Nollywood stars ran to the General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to help them ward off the spate of deaths that has hit the entertainment industry recently, with the deaths of Chidinma, CD John, Alasari, Ayinde Barrister and most recently, Ashley Nwosu. And others that have one terminal illness or another, like Sikiratu Sindodo, Ifeanyi Dike etc.

Pastor Adeboye heeded their call and held a special prayer session for them on Sunday June 5 at RCCG headquarters.

You have had African American and Nollywood for years but now you have a new genre of sitcom – Afro British and its set to take over the air waves. It's an exciting and vibrant new Broadcast quality Sitcom called Meet the Adebanjos (www.meettheadebanjos.com) which is airing online on Sunday 26th June.

For years, popular African-American sitcoms – all the way from the classic Cosby Show to contemporary Girlfriends - have been enjoyed by audiences around the world.

The UK, in particular, has been a consumer of such shows for decades partly because until now, major British networks have not seen fit to create sitcoms based on the experience of black people living in Britain.

But that’s about to change. MTA Productions - a dynamic British production company created by two enterprising 26 year old British Nigerians: Andrew Osayemi, a former trader, and Debra Odutuyo, a TV producer – has decided that it’s now time for the world to watch sitcoms from their perspective: a contemporary black British perspective.

Welcome to Meet The Adebanjo’s, MTA Production’s first sitcom, which is set to air online on Sunday 26th June at www.MeetTheAdebanjos.com. On that day, at least 100,000 viewers from the US and UK are expected to head to the site to officially meet the hilarious Adebanjo family, a fictional British-Nigerian family who will put a new face to British sitcoms and provide the world with a new take on British life.

The independently produced, broadcast-quality show features a cast of loud and unforgettable characters, and highlights the
multi-generational and multi-cultural family dynamics that take place when traditional African/ethnic parents raise British-born children. This is a sitcom which any African born or raising kids in the Diaspora will relate with.

The Meet The Adebanjo’s team is now using the power of social media – Facebook, youtube and their own site - to interact directly with their enthusiastic audience. Already, the show’s trailer – released just one week ago - has commanded over 20,000 youtube views and thousands of positive comments – a strong testament to the untapped need for culture-specific sitcoms which focus on the experience of the Black Briton.

The team is currently urging its fans and supporters to grow the movement by signing up on its website www.meettheadebanjos.com for details of how to watch on 26th June and spreading the word far and wide. Encouragingly, interest has been coming in from Africa and the US, before the first episode has even aired.

It’s time to place quality Afro British content firmly on the worldwide map. It starts on June 26th.

The handsome first son of actor/comedian Sunday Omobolanle popularly known as Papi Luwe (If you don't know who Papi Luwe is, then you are on your own, :-)) is set to wed his girlfriend of over 10 years, Abimbola Bakare.

Sunkanmi, who is also an actor himself, (he featured in Saheed Balogun's Eti Keta.) will wed Bimbo on Saturday June 18 in Lagos.

@r231; Action speaks louder than words , he buys me things alot,clothes, shoes, name it, (any nice things you see on me is bought by him)what kind of action would you call this.
any way those things he buys , im sure are remnant of shopping he made with his girls outside, cos he is always on the move.
i am confuse becos i know how he use to be fond of me before we got married

you can't call buying you stuff LOVE

if he truly loves you, he won't be dealing with other girls on the side or jerking off in the toilet while you are there

and you have to beg him to touch you

there is something wrong somewhere or there is something going on in his head that is making him act like that towards you
