See ehn,I always tell all my guys,learn to open your mind to the possibility of your wife cheating on you atleast once throughout the course of your marriage,if you ever intend to marry.
I've been opportune to role with some women in friendly gatherings and the things they say when they're with some of us they're comfortable with will shock you.
Put yourself first and don't make some insane sacrifices for anybody, neither should you trust all out like a naive person,including your WIFE!!!
Some men today with HIV got it from their wives,but because of their philandering ,they always think it came from them.
Women hardly cheat with condoms,they're always easy to tell you raw or some bs condom irritation story.
I always tell the girl I'm dating that if I should ever catch anything from her in the name of cheating,I'd put a 45 to her head and squeeze the trigger and anyone who tries to come to her defense will meet the same fate.
Sleep around all you want,I no send you,no just give me disease.
Ignorance is the only reason why many people are still married today,if them open their eyes,them go run.

Two things that don't mix well in Nigeria no matter the explanation:

Married woman and hotel room.

There had been many stories of men dying on top of married women in hotel rooms recently.

Okafor's law at play? Who knows?

Rebuke:
Hmmm. Baba, I am sorry but having a married woman in yhur hotel room alone with yhu doesn't sound morally right to me.

It appears someone must have snitched on yhu which could only mean one thing: yhu have been known to always have the married woman over with yhu in yhur hotel room.

Of all places, why must it be inside yhur hotel room? What happens to an open space around or within the hotel?

Abi yhu be human activist by day and clitovist at night?

I know naija police can over do but baba, yhur way no just seem pure with that married woman abeg.

How will yhu feel if yhur wife goes to see a so called male friend in his hotel room? I Know yhur type will jump to yhur defense here but the koko be say yhu no dey morally pure.

nedekid:
Lolz, this mannnn!!
Anyway, critically looking at this issue, two ways this "meeting" was discovered.
1. The hubby had cloned the wife's whatapp, bugged her phone, activated the voice function in her car tracker.
2. The hotel has informants that inform olopa when suspected fornication is about to occur (norther Nigeria penal code tins). Olopa then comes to burst the room, harass, the couple and make them pay big kudi to "die" the matter. Informant then gets a share.

Anyway, Mr human rights, will you be comfortable with your wife going to visit a man in his hotel room to say hello to an old friend. Not in the restaurant, poolside ohh, but in your hotel room.
If you are OK with that, all well and good.

This shows how the average Nigerian thinks. Our collective psychics has so been dealt with that we don't even know our rights. Since when has it become a crime for a.married woman to visit a Male in a hotel room.

theysg:


Don't be sentimental young man.
The question you need to ask yourself is if Abuja truly operate a Penal Law?
Go online, do some research and then come back here to drop your archaic comment.

If it is a criminal offense to obtain another mans property under your roof without his consent then the Police or complainant may have a case.

tuzle:
Omo see English on top say person wan commit adultery. This guy is a joker, so he couldn't meet her in the lobby of the hotel or anywhere else where people are but his room to share drink and discuss. He thinks we are fools.

Thou shall not coveret thy neighbours property under thy own roof. Your friend of 15years in law kee u

happney65:
What the police did is bad. Totally bad. But you sef no try. We should always learn to keep space.

Your married female friend in the same room as yours. Haba. If you want to see her that bad,go meet her downstairs or meet in an open restaurant or something. A sensible woman won't even follow you to the hotel itself not to talk of the same room

P.S. I am talking on moral grounds here sha. What the officers did is condemnable and nonesensical

KolaShangOne:
He can be visited in a hotel.

The problem with Nigeria is that once you mention the name "HOTEL", everybody thinks you went there to have sex.

Tonyblessed:
Most of you supporting the police injustice are just foolish. So is Sharia law now part of Abuja a Federal Capital Territory or what. So what it means is that Abuja is now a northern state not a Federal state. So they can go ahead and ban alcohol in Abuja too. If he did wrong, let the law take its place but saying Abuja shares the same law with the north is wrong.

Neverlookback:
The woman disrespected the husband by meeting another man in a hotel room. Irrespective of the country this happens, it is ethically wrong for both of them to meet in the room rather than the lobby.

However, the police have no right to interfere. These are two adults that have not committed any crime. This is simply a family matter between husband and wife.

If the husband has to go to such lengths though, it means it may be time for him to move on.

Interesting.... a married woman cannot visit with a male friend in a hotel, but a married man can visit with a single girl in the same hotel in this same Naija! Ona go dey take am easy oo, Abuja na capital of Nigeria and not Saudi Arabia!

CJStarz:
Why do I find this whole thing funny? So
in the North , policemen now monitor married women so as to know who they are visiting?

rayopt:
OK. The police are wrong sha, typical of Nigerian police. But wait ooo, I don't know how I would feel if it was my wife that got caught in all this. For real, it is morally wrong for married woman to visit another person wife inside hotel na. Let's be honest with our sef. Jeez

bjtinz:
I can't believe the comments I'm seeing here. A country filled with moral dimwits. Sad but harsh truth.

Yes no doubt about it, the morality of the episode is questionable, but NOT ILLEGAL, YOU BLITHERING IDIOTS!!

Equally shocking the speed which the police were able to react to this, with - wait for it - about 6 officiers in tow!!

Had it been an actual crime (robbery etc) do you think those shameless men in black would be this efficient??

And you have towering imbeciileles here supporting this naked disgrace by the Nigerian police. Shame on you all. Useless things.

Gospel2Day:



So Abuja, the capital of a secular Federal Republic of Nigeria is an Islamic enclave?
I understand the impropriety of a married woman visiting in his hotel room, but the way we encourage lawlessness and police irresponsibility in this country is nauseating.
What if the married woman is his blood sister or cousin, he still deserves to be arrested and detained?
Nigerians truly deserve their leaders.
They love their chains and slavedrivers.
SMH.

Goodcitizen1:
Wow!! We have a long way to go to this country. The comments here are worrisome and unbelievable. So someone can not invite or stay with a married person in their room. It seems like sharia law is active in Abuja .

Gospel2Day:


He was to meet with his friends (males&females).
Read the article again.
The woman just happened to be the first to arrive.
People with dirty mind and dirty lifestyle always assume other people degrade themselves like they do.
What if the place isn't a hotel room but an apartment, would it still be wrong for her to visit?
What is the case the police would have put forward against him in court, that they caught them doing something bad, or that they just met her in his hotel room?
Some of you don't think with an open mind.
You think if married women want to cheat they'll do it openly in a hotel room where people can see them going inside and coming out of the hotel?
Your comment shows your age and level of maturity.

BelieveAfrica:
I don't know, but I find it difficult to believe this story.
I have lived in Abuja for over a decade, I have never seen nor read anywhere Sharia law is enforced by Nigerian Police...

countryman13:

Honestly,I see no reason why d police should have acted that way. Those police officers no dey bleep some married women in their midst? Northern region law ko, Northern Zoo law ni? Beast of no Nation, Animal dey put on uniform!

Reference:
I simply don't see under what law he was arrested. The closest thing he could have been charged with is soliciting a prostitute but this is hardly the circumstance if his narration was accurate and complete.

Police Nigeria has a long way to go in aiding the development of this country. And this 'northern Nigeria' talk in the Federal capital is worrying. Abuja should be the best reflection of the constitution of this country that is apolitical, religiously and ethnically unbiased.

Reference:


So has he been charged to court, for as you say 'obtaining another man's property'.....because we hear about theft cases in court everyday here in Abuja.

As for me I don't see any case here. Adultery is yet to be a criminal offence in non Sharia states and even then he had to be caught 'pants down' as they say.

Yes, bad ethics and poor judgement in our clime to have a married woman in your hotel room but a crime.., no sir.

peedeeasobie:





Your backwardness and lack of exposure is duly noted. Instead of focusing on the wrong done by the police force, what you noticed is a friend visiting another in a hotel.

Vietnaminfo:
The husband cloned her phone line and monitored all your conversations until she messaged you that she was at your hotel door. Caution is necessary when in Nigeria. During my last visit to Nigeria, I accompanied my two male friends who also brought their girlfriends along. I was the only one without a girlfriend. We went to a nightclub, and as soon as we parked the car and stepped out, we were approached by SARs officers who accused us of a patronizing "ashawo". We questioned why, and were informed that the area where we parked was considered a "prostitute" street. Gradually, we ended up spending the night at the police station counter after refusing to pay the demanded bribe of 100,000. In the morning, I had to send a message to the manager of the intended nightclub, who also happened to be a close friend of mine. He arrived as early as 6 am. Subsequently, we were taken to the office of the OC SARs where we were asked to provide identification. We presented our IDs, and one of my friends revealed he worked at Aso Rock Hospital. As soon as they saw the ID, we were released on bail without having to pay anything. The OC even offered us an apology and instructed us to leave without further incident. That day, I came to understand the extent of the Nigeria police's authority over our lives, accounting for 99% of our decisions
