I have been married to Kingsley for five years, and things have not been moving well. We barely have food to eat, and my two children survive on pap and salt because we cannot afford milk, baby food, or other essentials. Sometimes, we resort to using water and salt as soup just to have something in our stomachs.
My husband is a graduate. Despite his qualifications, he has been moving from one place to another in search of a job, but none has come. The security job he is doing is barely enough to pay our rent. The suffering was so much that I started selling pure water for a woman, earning just 200 Naira at the end of each day.
One day, my husband's co-security man told him he was quitting the job to join Yahoo Yahoo (internet fraud) so he could fix the poverty in his home. My husband came back home troubled and shared his thoughts with me. I encouraged him to join his colleague, thinking it might help.
After several months, he was still struggling with the Yahoo business. Eventually, his colleagues introduced him to a Baba who promised to help him start "picking money." According to my husband, the Baba told him that for the ritual to work, he had to use me as a sacrifice. The Baba claimed that I had a bright star that could bring extraordinary wealth and that if my husband waited until I died naturally, my star would be wasted.
When my husband told me this, I was terrified. I asked him what he thought, and he said he didn’t know but was tired of being poor. He started crying and said, "I am ashamed of not being able to take care of you as my wife. I can’t buy you the things other women have. I can’t even provide good food for our children."
Hearing him cry broke my heart. I felt bad for him because he had good intentions—he wanted me and the kids to enjoy a better life. That alone made me agree to be used for the ritual.
Four months later, my husband’s fortunes changed. He started "picking money," and our lives transformed overnight. We lacked nothing. My children began attending the best schools, and I enjoyed luxuries I never dreamed of.
But soon, problems began. My husband started sleeping around with different women and buying them houses and cars. Sometimes, my children and I wouldn’t see him for two months at a time.
Yesterday evening, when he came back, I checked his phone without his knowledge. I was shocked to see WhatsApp messages revealing that he had four wives. To my horror, I discovered that he had moved to different states twice in one year. In each state, he disguised himself as a poor man to marry innocent women. Once married, he convinced the women that the Baba needed their "star" for his ritual, just as he had done with me—and they agreed because they were already in love.
Heartbroken, I confronted my husband. He told me bluntly, "You can leave the marriage if you’re tired."
Now, I am confused. How can I leave when I know my future has already been sacrificed? I feel used and betrayed after trying to help my husband succeed.
What was my mistake?
