A Nigerian woman, Morenikeji Igweh, has narrated her experience with her in-laws after she ended her marriage to their son.
She shared her story on Sunday, April 27, while reacting to photos of Tuface’s mother and Natasha meeting after she accused the politician of using charm on the singer.
Morenikeji advised women to bear in mind that their in-laws will always put their sons first.
“The day I left my ex, the first call that came in was that of his mum. I expected diplomacy from her, because she have always liked me, or pretended to like me, till now I don’t know which to believe based on how she treated me after I left,” she wrote.
“How dare you leave? Talo fun e no audacity lati ko eru e Kuro ni Ile oko e”. I paused. “Kilon she e gan na? Mon Bo wa si Abeokuta, mo ma gba Omo owo e, oode ni le shey shit nipa e (She threatened to come to Abeokuta to take my child from me).
That I was shocked was an understatement. This is a person that knew every inch of my struggle. I reported everything that happened to her and in some cases, she have scolded her son over some things he did to me.
Every small thing, moti gbe phone, I go don dey cry dey explain every shege to her. While she’ll keep telling me sorry, “Pele oko mi, Maa ba soro” and before dropping the call, she’d call her son and scold him.
So colour me shocked when I saw her reaction that day. The mother o, the sister o, that I thought were the best thing after Jollof rice bullied me. I’ll wake up in the morning and the first thing I’ll wake up to is messages filled with curses from them. Won fi oju mi ri mabo.
Shebi they said experience is the best teacher? I know better now.
See 2baba’s mum that came to social media, telling people that Natasha used charm on him. See how they wholeheartedly took her in. Annie doesn’t matter anymore. See o.
Dear woman, Know that your in-laws will always put their own first, same way your people will put you first before anybody else (if they are sensible enough). If every woman understands this ehn, na the real shock absorber be that”.
