I DATED OTHER WOMEN
For a couple of years I became deeply attached to this young lady. I will refer to her as “Omo C”, I got very close to her and we fell in love. Eventually things did not go to well for us because I was not prepared to take a second wife and then she took one or two steps which disappointed me and that was it that is how it all ended.
Even though I felt deeply hurt by her and that we may never speak again, I have to say that she was a wonderful person, she worked extremely hard, she was very loyal to me up until the end and I will not say anything ill about her publicly. A lot of things you see about her on the internet today, the things they wrote about her are not even true. It was an error of judgment on my part to have any kind of affair when I was married and its something that I regret deeply but the truth is that for some time that young lady brought joy into my life and I fell deeply in love with her. That was the only time in my life that I ever came close to taking a second wife and I pray that it never happens again. Thankfully my wife prayed me out of that situation, continued to love me, forgave me, helped me to heal and saved our marriage and family. She forgave me and I haven’t looked back since. I have nothing bad to say about that young igbo lady as an individual she made her choices and we will leave the rest to God. As far as I am concerned a lot of things you see about her on the internet are not true. I won’t even go into those things or discuss them here but we should cut her some slack. She’s just a nice person who wants to live her life quietly and move on with it and I wish her well. Yet the pain of our break-up was terrible though it was the right thing to do. And whether anyone likes it or not the truth is that she still has a tiny corner of my heart as well. She will always be a friend even if we never see each other or speak to each other again.
I was involved with somebody else through the years when I was alone here in Nigeria and separated from my family though it was something that did not in any way threaten my marriage. A good friend of mine became very close to me. I will refer ti her as the ‘God sent child” and she came from the mid west though she had lived in Lagos all her life. We were very close for a number of years and she was a great source of comfort for me throughout that period but the time came when we had to part ways. I had to consider the implications of our friendship on my marriage and she had to move on with her life and go do her master’s degree in the U.K. she’s finished now, she did very well. She’s back in Lagos now, doing very well and moving on with her life. I hardly see or hear from her these days but im proud of her, I am happy for her and she’s a wonderful person. She will always be a part of me as well and again a little portion of my heart still belongs to her. That’s four. The fifth one, the only other woman that I ought to mention, I will not say much about her publically for a number of reasons. She is somebody that I will refer to here as “Tranquility”. She is an enigma, she’s a good friend of mine and I am telling you that she is what they call a smooth operator. More importantly she brings peace and tranquility and she’s one of the kindest souls that I’ve ever met in my life. I will not say any more about tranquility than that. So now you have heard it all I hope you are happy. I hope that you will learn from my experiences and mistakes instead of making yours. These are very serious issues and the emotions and memories that they invoke are powerful and deep. The general point is that I have learnt a hard lesson from those mistakes. I have made my peace with my God and with my wife and that is all that matters to me.
