Nigerian Lady Narrates How Her Father Saved Her From An Abusive Marriage by CastedAyo: 2:41am On May 29, 2018
US-Based Nigerian lady @zynnnie on Twitter has narrated how her father saved her from an abusive relationship after a simple dispute with her fiance over wedding venue.

It turns out the guy had issues with violence. He went ahead to marry someone else and years later, he was locked up for beating his wife.

Read the story below;
"At 24,Mr A wanted to marry me,I was excited about it and was eager to take him home.This relationship wasn’t consummated cos I was/is a typical keep your equipment to yourself kinda girl.I snuck out of school to visit him numerous times until it was time for him to meet my parent

My mum liked him immediately mostly cos he was a doppelgänger of my late elder brother. she gave her blessings but it immediately went south upon realizing that he is a Pastor’s son, a general overseer’s son and we are Catholics. My parents are knight of the church .

He refused to wed me in my church and my mum refused I wed outside Catholic Church. Oh my father never said a word. He is annoyingly very calm in times a chaos, he was just smiling at me and my rants.

Everything was called off and I really didnt like my mum at that point, I felt robbed but my father told me something that eventually saved my life. I went to my dad and this man made me narrate the whole story to him. My father is very wise and intelligent.

My dad told me to date Mr A for one more year and after that he will tell me what to do to change my mother’s heart.I asked if he was suggesting I get pregnant and he said”I didn’t say that cos if you get pregnant,you will have the baby in my house and u will still not marry him”

Two months later, Mr A called me that he was getting married to another girl that his daddy arranged for him. I was broken and sad, I called my mum and was ranting on how she ruined my life and made Mr A marry another girl. My dad once again didn’t say a word.

I called my dad and told him then he said, “I knew you guys had no business getting married if something as common as venue of the wedding was an insurmountable problem, I just needed you to see it for yourself”

My dad’s statement woke me up from slumber and something clicked. I wiped my tears immediately and said thank u daddy. He started hailing me with his usual Ada obodo oyibo’m and Ada kpokee nkee kpokee nkee ( I don’t know what that last one means but he calls me that)

I remembered this story cos my dad asked about Mr A today. I told him that his father in law locked him up for beating his daughter and my dad nearly died of laughter.

End of thread. Moral lesson, what an elder sees sitting down, a young person may not see standing on top the tallest iroko tree. There is wisdom in the words of our parents. (NB: If you grew up in an abusive home then this thread is not for you)"

World pipo said I asked an insensitive question by asking 'is she married now?'

I didn't ask because I felt she lost out by not marrying her ex. I asked because just like her dad, I was curious.

I never would condone abuse in any form neither am I in a haste to get married like someone said down there.

Sorry to derail your thread, but how true is this about introverts?

Have been told to advise people to marry more of introverts if they happen to meet one.

Reason being;
-They have integrity.
-They hate drama or attention seeking issues
-They are conservatives.
-They are good financial planners.
-They are intelligent and acute thinkers.
-They are the best advisers you can get.
-Once you can break one, you have your prince charming.
-They rarely cheat.
-They are barely broke.
-They are neat and tidy

That's helpful. Some fathers are that calm and intelligent.

The most wise part in her story is her father telling her that if you get pregnant for him, you will have the baby in my house and you will still not marry him.

Mehn, I so much like that because that's the trap many ladies today have fallen into. Once they're pregnant for a potential woman beater they think he will change because they're pregnant or because of the new born. What a mistake. Some will just go ahead and marry him simply because they're pregnant. Even if the guy is not a woman beater but not just compatible with you, pregnancy is not a valid reason to forcefully marry him. Use your head!

A father's advice will always be DEEP. Am sure her mum wanted her to marry Mr. A because his father is the senior Priest of thier church and she thought that her daughter marrying the Senior Priest's Son will boast image in front of her fellow mumu Women.

Her last line spoil the whole story..
" (NB: If you grew up in an abusive home then this thread is not for you)"
What happen to those who grew up in an abusive home? The last time I checked, experience is the best teacher for the 'wise'

Btw, I doubt if she really learn her lession in anyway....and she didn't even get the point from her narration. Her dad want her to understand the that communication, respect for each other and understanding plays a very important role to a working relationship(her parent seems to even lack that). The relationship would've workout if those characteristics are present and the man wouldn't have been an abuser.
Goodluck to her...I pray she get sense she.
