    As news of Osinachi Nwachukwu’s death filtered in last Friday, friends, Christian faithful and other Nigerians on social media have pondered on why she chose to remain in the marriage despite constant attacks from her husband, Peter.

    “I didn’t sleep well at all because of what I’ve been reading about Osinachi, the gospel musician that was physically abused by her husband until she lost her life,” the tennis star wrote on Facebook.

    “I’ve been physically, emotionally and mentally abused by two different men and I know how it felt.

    “The first one was at a younger age. He didn’t only abuse me, but carted away with all my money and my properties, I mean all that I worked for as a young girl.

    “The second was with my ex husband. A good and a kind man, but not a good husband to me. His own problem was his background. That’s what he saw growing up, so he didn’t know any other way to deal with an argument than to raise his hands.

    “My parents, friends, loved ones, pastor, church couldn’t help me. They all told me he will change, or I should change from my ways, I should pray and fast for him, I should be patient etc but not to leave.

    “Do you know that he even beat me in front of my daddy and even in front of my pastor ??!! Hmm!”

  • Police allegedly arrest Gospel singer Osinachi’s husband

    Police allegedly arrest Gospel singer Osinachi’s husband

    More speculations are beginning to emerge over the death of Gospel Singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, who died on Saturday as a Facebook user identified as Bar Chidinma has alleged that the late singer’s husband has been arrested by the Police in connection with her death.

    Chidinma, also alleged that Osinachi’s husband was beating and maltreating her.

    She explained that Osinachi spent five days on life support at the hospital after her husband kicked her in her chest.

    The social media has been awash since yesterday when the news of her death broke with numerous, but unverified, claims that the late Gospel Singer was involved in an abusive marriage.

    Gospel Singer and Film maker, Gold Martins who shared Chidinma’s post on social media, also alleged that the late singer had told someone she knew that she would have left her marriage if not for what people would say.

    Martins, also said the singer confessed that she was been abused and maltreated by her husband.

    Martin’s statement reads,

    While praying last night, all I was praying for was for God to touch the heart of people around her. Let them come out and speak. That woman personally told someone I know what she was passing through at the hands of that her husband. According to her “if not for the church and what people will say, I would have left this marriage.”
    Even in their presence when that man called her, he was calling her names like “steeped” and “fuuuuul*ish”

    If minister Osinachi could tell a total stranger her story, how much more her church? Do you want me to believe that her church and pastor didn’t know what this woman was passing through? Can they come out and swear that they are ignorant of the fact that she was living with her enemy? What did they do to help her?

    The church has failed the society religion has failed the society we all start practising humanity? Can we?

  • I’m fed up, my husband’s manhood is not functioning – Woman tells court

    I’m fed up, my husband’s manhood is not functioning – Woman tells court

    A 54-year-old woman, Blessing Mormah, has approached an Igando Customary Court, asking for the dissolution of her marriage due to her husband’s alleged sexual incompetence.

    Mormah, a beautician, asked the court on Tuesday to dissolve her 25-year-old marriage, alleging that she was forced into it.

    She said that she was fed up and could not continue with the marriage.

    “My father forced me to love him.

    “We have five children, two boys and three girls.

    “Also, we always quarrel, we fight too often and anytime we fight he will tell me to leave his house.

    “He forgets that quarrels abound in marriage and no one is perfect.

    “I am fed up with this lifestyle so I moved out eventually.

    “Also, his manhood is not working.

    “When I found out, I took him to hospital and drugs were prescribed for him but he never used them.

    “He always said nothing was wrong with him.

    “Ok, if nothing is wrong, then perform your duty but he cannot.

    “He also has no regards for my family.

    “When issues come up and they invite him, he will tell them that he would not go to their place.

    “Instead, he would expect them to come over to his place, such a disrespect,” Mormah said.

    She further told the court to grant her a divorce since they have been leaving apart.

    According to her, even while they were leaving together he never had her time.

    He was always out to drink with his friends.

    She also told the court that they have been living apart for a year and that the court should grant her the sole custody of their last child, who is six years old.

    The respondent, Mr David Mormah, was not available to give his own account.

    The President of the court, Mr Koledoye Adeniyi, later adjourned the matter to May 12 for judgement.

    N10k a man gives to his wife more valuable than 250k she earns – Female preacher tells Abuja boys

    A female preacher has left tongues wagging after advising Abuja boys to be responsible and live up to expectations.

    In a video making the rounds on social media, the clergywoman chastised men who choose to marry financially independent women while doing little to assist them.

    Using Abuja men as an example, she stated that men need to take their familial responsibility seriously and begin providing for their wives.

    According to the clergywoman, a man must live up to his responsibility as the head of the family even with the little he earns, rather than waiting for his wife who earns more than him.

    She further added that even though a man might be earning a meagre salary, if he gives his wife N10k, it is more than the N250k she might be earning from work.

  • Bill to give widows access to their late husband’s properties passes second reading

    Bill to give widows access to their late husband’s properties passes second reading

    A bill to give widows access to their late husband’s property, stop rape, forced marriages and other evil customary practices has passed second reading at the House of Representatives.

    Rep. Sergius Ogun (PDP-Edo), sponsored the bill entitled: “An Act to amend the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act, 2015, which was read on the floor of the House on Thursday in Abuja.

    He stated that the bill would prohibit discrimination against widows and all forms of repressive and degrading widowhood practices.

    “The bill will make provision for the definition of the offence of image-based sexual abuse under the Act and also make provision for penalty for offence of image-based sexual abuse.”

    Ogun said the bill specifically called for amendment to 6 sections of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act of 2015.

    Leading the debate, Ogun decried inhuman treatment being meted to some widows.

    According to him, this bill proposes to amend six sections of the violent against persons act to make provisions to safeguard widows from violent and evil customary practices.

    Others included denial of property rights, rape, forced marriages and all other dehumanising acts that undermined the dignity of the widow.

    “The amendment(s) are geared toward achieving the following: Define what constitutes harmful and degrading widowhood practices; define what constitutes the rights of widows under the Act.

    “Prescribe penalties for infractions against the Act; preserving the 23rd day of May of every year as a National Day for the prohibition of discrimination against widows, women and girls.

    “This is to bring the problem of discrimination against widows to national attention; saddle the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and Other Related Matters (NAPTIP) with the responsibility.

    This according to him is with the responsibility of administering the provisions of this bill and organising events to commemorate the national day for the prohibition of such discrimination.

    He said that, in several parts of Nigeria, widows were made to pay heavy penalties for the painful departure of husbands that they loved and shared their lives with.

    He added that they were usually stigmatised, denied access to property and in some cases, denied access to their own children for reasons that had no place under any Nigerian law.

    “Widowhood is not by choice. Widows are victims of the inevitability of death. So why do our society criminalise the unfortunate incident of widowhood?

    “Why are widows denied the right to mourn in peace, is the trauma of their loss met with more trauma rather than solace?

    He said the house had a duty to right this wrong, adding that mothers, sisters, aunties, friends, colleagues deserved to be protected.

    However, when the bill was put to voice vote, there was an overwhelming support of the members and it was adopted for second reading.

  • Stop looking for ready-made husband – Charly Boy advises women

    Stop looking for ready-made husband – Charly Boy advises women

    Nigerian singer and activist, Charles Oputa has advised ladies to stop seeking ready-made husbands and start being supportive.

    In an Instagram post, Charly Boy said that ladies must be able to offer more than sex and start supporting their men in other areas of life.

    According to him, most relationships are cut short nowadays because many ladies only have sex to offer in their relationships and nothing more.

    He said: “Many girls complain that guys walk away from them simply because they refused to give them sex. Some girls have even turned into sex toys just to keep a man. Let me be very open here, sex might not be the reason these guys walk away.

    “Remove sex from a relationship and you’ll see that most girls do not have anything else to offer their man.

    ” Aside from sex, what do you have to offer to a man. Can you support him spiritually? Can you support him physically and financially? How about mentally?”

    He urged ladies to stop spending unnecessarily on material things and plan for the future with their partners.

    “All you girls do is demand money for bags, shoes, phones, clothes, and outings. Making him spend unnecessarily. What are you even bringing to the table?

    “Have you ever sat him down and helped him plan for his future. Try to be a woman that a man will always regret losing for the rest of his life.

    “Be that woman that your man can’t afford to lose to another man. Build your man to your taste and stop looking for a ready-made husband when you’re not a ready-made wife,” he added.

    My husband is entitled to more than one wife – Mercy Aigbe fires back at critics

    Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe has fired back at critics for accusing her of ‘snatching another woman’s husband’.

    TVC talk show host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown disclosed on Thursday January 27, that Aigbe told her that her popular Yoruba filmmaker husband, Adeoti Kazim is a Muslim and is entitled to more than one wife.

    While this is Aigbe’s third shot at marriage, it is Mr Kazim’s second marriage. Kazim is also a father-of-four. His first wife, Funsho, lives in Minnesota, U.S. and is a notable fashion designer.

    The actress made the recent claim just after saying that her ex-husband Lanre Gentry and current husband, Kazim Adeoti were never friends.

    Morayo said, “I spoke to her (Mercy) last night, she called me to correct an impression and that it is wrong for us to say, ‘how can she go and marry her ex-husband’s best friend.’ She said they were never friends.

    “They only attended an event where her present husband, a marketer in the industry, invited her to his birthday party, which she had attended in her ex-husband’s company.

    “She told me that the man is a Muslim, he’s entitled to more than one wife, so yes, he has issues with the first wife, and he is now married to her as the second wife and as a second wife, doesn’t she deserve to be happy? ”

    The TVC host also revealed that Aigbe told her that people sent her derogatory messages on Instagram, and this has been depressing to her and her children.
