A Nigerian lady named Assam revealed the harrowing experience her aunt faced after her husband’s passing at the hands of her husband’s second wife.
Assam’s disclosure came in response to a tweet by a Nigerian woman who urged wives to credit their husbands for their own accomplishments.
The tweet sparked a debate on gender roles and the significance of giving credit where it is due.
She tweeted;
“If u buy yourself a car, tell everyone your husband bought it for u. If you pay your children’s school fees, tell dem their father did. If you buy gifts for your children, tell them their father bought it. Etc. Never take a man’s crown from his head, give him all the credit.”
In response, Assam recounted her aunt’s personal story as a cautionary tale.
According to Assam, her aunt had diligently bought several properties and paid for her children’s education expenses, all of which were registered under her husband’s name.
Unfortunately, when her husband passed away, his second wife nearly evicted Assam’s aunt from her own home because the second wife possessed a court marriage certificate.
In her words;
Quote
“My aunty did that, bought houses put it under her husband’s name, paid fees for her kids put it under her husband’s name. Now he got married to a second wife and when he died he was almost thrown out because second wife had a court marriage certificate. Ladies don’t do that a responsible man will never and ever watch his wife do that cuz they both have those children and there is absolutely nothing.her kids put it under her husband’s name. Now he got married to a second wife and when he died he was almost thrown out because second wife had a court marriage certificate. Ladies don’t do that a responsible man will never and ever watch his wife do that cuz they both have those children and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the kids knowing that their mom did it for them. If the man loses his job if he is responsible he will definitely look for other means to support the family and beside why count who does what and who doesn’t?. The kids are supposed to know that their parents did and not their father or mother c’mon.”
