You are the reason for her breakdown in marriage.
Men cannot just be violence towards their partners for no reason, perhaps the husband has already found out the truth that's the reason he sent her away.

FamilyRe: His Wife & Children Mistreated Him. He Secretly Sold His House & Left Them by UkoAnnang(m): 10:06am On May 07
ariesbull:
Is What This Man Did Okay? Is It Right ?

This retired civil servant in Abuja sold his family house without telling his wife or children.

Months before anyone suspected anything, the original house documents had already been quietly moved out of the house for safekeeping.

So when strangers eventually showed up for inspection, it had already gone too far to reverse.

That house wasn’t inherited. It came from years of deductions, years of sacrifice, living inside one of those government quarters that were later sold to occupants.

But retirement changed the balance of power inside the house.

His wife controlled most decisions, and gradually the children adopted her tone until the man who paid for the roof over their heads became almost invisible inside it.

He said there was even a period he fell seriously sick and nobody asked if he had eaten before leaving the house each morning.

Around that same period, his entire gratuity was taken to fund a family business. It was supposed to help everyone. It collapsed before one year.

That was when the quiet planning began. Not loudly, not emotionally but silently. He decided he would rather start life again alone than remain in a house where he felt unwanted.

Months later, the house was sold privately for 90 million.

A smaller house in a quiet suburb was purchased for 18 million, and the rest was secured quietly.

At home, nothing looked suspicious. No arguments, no sudden tension.

Weeks before leaving, clothes were gradually packed under the excuse of sending them to the dry cleaner.

Then one day, he travelled for what was described as a consultancy job. He never returned to that house again.

The truth surfaced the day the new owner sent people to inspect it.

Panic started immediately, his children that haven't checked on him since he travelled started calling nonstop, asking what was going on. That was when he confirmed it himself.

Yes, the house had been sold. By then, nothing could be undone.

Attempts were made to trace his new location, but he had already moved carefully and deliberately.
He said something that stayed with me since I heard the story:

“I didn’t abandon my family… I simply inherited myself before they buried me alive."

Do you think he acted right?

CultureRe: The Reality Of Double Bride Price In Akwa Ibom by UkoAnnang(m):
angry

Op kindly single out these tribes in Akwa.
Don't say Akwa Ibom in general.

We have many tribes in Akwa Ibom and this nonsense here is not applicable to my Annang tribe.

In Annang tribe cohabitation is prohibited. if a man must live together with a woman, then he must pay her bride price.

Note, in our tradition, bride price is not expensive, in some family bride price is not more than ₦100, while some is as low as ₦10, ₦20 and ₦50 with a bottle of dry gin.

For the father
1. Tobacco
2. Walking stick
3. One traditional wear with strikes of lions or tiger heads (what we call uko ekpe). This wear signify the strength of a traditional Annang man.
4 a traditional Annang cap


For the the mother.
1. One length of wrapper
2. A bag of salt
3. A smaller basin of crayfish
4 one umbrella.
5. 1 stick of dry fish

For the general house
1. 2 cartons of beer
2. 2 create of soft drinks
3. 1 create of malt
4. Football
5. 5. Packet of Cigarette.
6. 1 red and white chalk (usei)
7 1 bottle of dry gin
8. small fishes
9. 1 female goat (this is only applicable if the bride is the first daughter of the family)

The palm wine for the events is to be provided by the father in-law. After drinking the palm wine, the son in-law can put anything or even return the cup empty to the father in-law.
We are not like our eastern neighbours who demand for dollars before the cup could be returned back

With what its listed a man can marry a woman, if the man is incapable to afford these items, his kins men can do so in his behalf.

Therefore the the issue of cohabitation is impossible in my tribe. So the prospective son in-law cannot pay bride price of mother in-law.

Also note that, in our traditional Annang land, if a man refuses to pay his woman bride price, the family of the woman will not accept anything from him, be it food, drink, money, kola, water. The mother of the woman is prohibited from visited her daughter while in such marriage.
These make it more difficult for a man and woman to cohabit in my tradition


OP next time make ur research well and single out the tribe involved in some abominable tradition before thunda faya u

Umo Eno is a slowpoke and worse thing to happen to Akwa Ibom in history

Ibom international Airport was a project started during Obong Victor Attah administration, Godswill Akpabio developed the project, when Udom Emmanuel came in l, he completed the project and acquired the airfleet.
This sometimes red, sometimes orange colour mediocre man control nothing to that project. But today he is talking the glory.

Throughout his 3 years in government, he has done nothing tangible for the state.
If sure for him and his mediocre partner he called his president let them develop Ibom Deep seaport
