Nemesis- Part Deux

Here's the second installment in my Nemesis series.  After this, coming up would be the "Sit your ass down and study physiology" series. Part 1-84. True story.

This story is about a young couple who had it all, looks, good careers and 2 lovely kids. However, we all know that nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. Dude was a little bitch/man whore who chased anything in skirts. The young suffering wife took it all in stride because she loved him and wanted to keep her family together. Problem was he had a particular mistress who was a pain in the butt! This lady had the guts to call the wife one day to curse her out. The wife then called back to insult the mistress and her husband got mad at her for doing that which of course led to a big fight.

This lady who chose to stay in her marriage (like a lot of women do) was becoming a nervous wreck over this issue as the man didn't even bother hiding the affair at this point. He spent nights with his mistress and both extended families were aware of the situation. I know some people would say polygamy is a part of our culture so no big deal. I beg to differ. If you marry a man knowing fully well he was into polygamy, that's a different story, but a lot of Nigerian couples these days are into monogamy. One man, one wife!
 Anyhoodle, this lady was still determined to make the marriage work. To get a breather from the madness, when she got her leave and her kids were on holiday she travelled abroad with her 2 kids for a month. Wrong move, as this gave her husband the visa to stay with his mistress. This chic had no source of livelihood but depended solely on men to pay her rent and take care of her. Infact, instead of this guy to take care of his responsibilities at home, he spent his salary on his chic leaving his wife to bear the full load.

The wife came back with her kids and decided to stay with her sister because of the shame. Friends and extended families intervened, but all in vain.This guy then brought this mistress to his matrimonial home which irked his in-laws who came to have a showdown with him. His wife then went to rent another apartment when she saw that the battle was lost BUT the husband refuse to let her pack out her belongings. She then appealed to friends who talked to him. He agreed on the condition that she would give him his son while she keeps their daughter.She refused and left ALL her belongings for him and his mistress. It was then the mistress realized it was the wife that had ALMOST all the belongings in the house up to the beds they slept on and she was the one paying the house rent!

This guy had a good job and was well paid but left most of his responsibilities to his wife who didn't have a problem picking up his slack as she was also well paid. He pretty much spent his money clubbing and having fun. The mistress' family have come to know him as their in-law while his family has washed their hands off the issue since he refused to heed to their warnings. After much prayers they realized the dude was under a spell. As the story goes, they figured the gal used her private part (lol) and that as long as he continues to sleep with her, his sense of reasoning would be beclouded. This mistress had the balls to warn another girlfriend of his off. (No forget say the man na ashawo). She thinks she's special.

Apparently, the man reasons well with his friends when mistress is not around but when she comes, he begins behaving like mumu would tells her what they all said about her. It got to the point that his friends don't tell him anything anymore because she had the guts to confront one of the friends about what he said about her. The guy's younger brother told her bluntly what she was doing to another woman was wrong, and she reported him to his brother who tongue-lashed him. The brother has refused to go to his brother's house.

Now mistress is pregnant and the guy is already tired after just a few months of living together. He has started staying out nights, and the mistress (he has not married her yet or done any official introduction) is complaining and pressurizing him to complete his building so that they would move to a new neighborhood where people  they don't know about them because the whole street is aware of their story and many are cold towards her. In fact, the guy confided in a friend that he is hoping and praying for a miscarriage! He does not want any child from her, he is satisfied with his kids from his wife, but he does not know what to do. The friend didn't say anything because he might go and tell her. She is currently about 5 months pregnant and he is tired of the expenses she is adding since she does not have a source of income. Infact, he knows little or nothing about her! A friend once asked him if she was a graduate, but he could not give a congent answer, he said she said, she had diploma, diploma in what? he could not say! But she is living off his salary while when he was with his wife, she was the one who spent money on the family.

Mistress is not happy in her 'marriage' because the guy has been showing the other side of himself. From the way we see things, the guy would eventually dump  or abandon her and go back to his wife whom he has been sending love text messages to all the time!  This is why the wife believes the mistress had bewitched him because he is handsome and comfortable and she is a penniless gold digger looking for who to take care of her! I don't know why women think they will be different. What he did to his wife, he will do to you. Why do you think you are special? If you decide you want to be a mistress, stay a mistress and don't look to take over someone's home. It never ends well. Like i said, you are not special.

THE END

P.S. Na as i hear the story, na so i talk am. I don't know how well i believe that he was charmed. Most men think with their third leg on a very good day anyway. But you know, as Nigerians we all try to make sense of senseless situations the best way we can. Methinks the dude is just an irresponsible man. E no dey hard them.

P.P.S Shout out to my most recent followers, 3 of whom happen to be from Ghana. Woot, woot! I love my African people. If i survive this semester, i plan to "diversify" my knowledge base about other African countries. Like i said in an earlier post, i think Kenyans are pretty cool but i know nothing about them. Time to learn more about other African countries. Yes, i was born and raised in Nigeria, i know. I should do better.
