WHEN her hubby of ten years had to spend Christmas with his relatives in Nigeria, Tracy Akingbogun hoped he’d
return with a special gift to make up for their time apart. David, 43, had sorted out a present — for himself. He had secretly MARRIED another woman in Nigeria on Boxing Day.
According to the UK SUN, Mum-of-four Tracy only discovered the shocking news through a friend months later — and kicked him out. Heartbroken Tracy, also 43, says: “While I was at home with the kids missing him at Christmas, his present to himself was a new bride. “I still can’t believe he did that to us after more than ten years together.
“I did some research and saw that the ceremony was a religious one and not a legal one. So he hadn’t committed
bigamy. “His dad had five wives during his lifetime, so I suppose David thought he could do that too. “But not when he was living in the UK and not when he was married to me.”
David traveled to Nigeria over the 2014 festive period and few months after he returned, Tracy got a message on Facebook from the partner of one of David’s friends in Nigeria, a woman Tracy had met when she and David once visited Nigeria.
She says: “The message read
that he’d got married to another woman on Boxing Day — everyone knew apart
from me. She didn’t think that was right.
“I confronted David but he denied it. He seemed so cool and calm. So I messaged her and said there must be a mistake.”
What came next wiped away any trace of doubt Tracy had. Tearfully, she recalls: “She ended up sending me photos of the wedding ceremony via WhatsApp and confirmed it to me. There was no denying that.”
Shaking, Tracy managed to guess his Facebook password and logged in. There, she read messages between him
and his new wife, a woman she’d caught him messaging two years before,
who was also his ex- girlfriend.
Tracy says: “I was so angry I couldn’t speak. He couldn’t get married — he was my husband! “I confronted him and he tried to deny it again but this
time I told him I’d seen the photos and read the messages.
I told him to pack his bags and get out. “I don’t take calls from his family, as they were in on this and went to his wedding last Boxing Day while lying to me. “He abandoned his children and me to get married to another woman. He’s made
his choice and now he’s stuck with it.” She said.
After four kids,i wonder why he needed to get married again.I wonder why men do this at all.I am still yet to even understand why my own Father married another woman after my mum after she had given him so many kids!
I cannot understand men...
Stella you're a journalist abi? Please cover or blur the faces of people who are not relevant to a story.
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to take a group picture some day and later find it plastered all over the Internet because someone in the group is an axe murderer or something.
Madam take heart. Ensure he pays child support. As man who doesn't take care of his family is a bastard.
Merry Christmas.
Is a normal thing here naaa
DeleteWell, unfortunately the pictures are scattered all over the Web uncensored. Too bad.
DeleteBut this man o, see disgrace. I pity the wives.. as they are the innocent ones here. Bet he told the one in Nigeria about the UK family. And with the understanding that the one in the UK is 'marriage of convenience'.. very typical of some of these men that marry foreigners.
You can't eat ur cake and have it brov.. now u have to choose. Oh, seems like he did that already. He's gone with the Nigerian wifey. Oh well, Tracy u are going to have to move on. Dude is done with u unfortunately. Hope he looks after the kids though.
Nice one Anonymous. Was going to say that butur comment was the first I read. Stella take note
Delete@sisieko and potable it takes just one person with the sense and guts to do the right thing, others will follow.
DeleteIt is this irritating mentality that 'everyone is doing it na' 'it is all over na' from people who should know better, that is the reason your nation is crippled.
Am not supporting the man or the act,just that most nigeria men that got married 2 white women usually come back to nigeria 2 marry again.
DeleteLol men and thier wants...
ReplyDeleteIf na Nigerian woman she would have written to Stella to ask "what to do" see people taking charge of their lives
DeleteNa in their blood the thing dey
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
On the bright side, the naija wife fine pass d oyinbo wife. Just saying!
DeleteSad! So the entire family were in on the deceit? Chai! Na wa o.
ReplyDeleteOfcos they are. A lot of our girls that have husband outside do it. They say Oyinbo wife is not wife it's for papers. He should have divorced her first then remarry. Yeye man he wants to eat his cake and have it.
Deletepoor woman!
ReplyDeleteEyah,oyigbo(iya ile) fa iyawo e mo ara.(oyigbo be cordial with ur junior co wife)
ReplyDeleteBut dat informant na Aproko.
Lol. You are funny.
DeleteMen are always men,just 5% re real.
ReplyDeleteNigerian men are notorious for having double families, especially those in the U.S. I knew a guy who had 3 children in the states by a white girl. They were married for 13 years, he left her and his kids to marry 2 wives and become igwe. He said she was so bitter, that she planned for him to be arrested anytime he plans to enter the U.S. But now most American women know nigerian men sometimes time have another wife back home
ReplyDeleteThat na normal thing for black man.
DeleteThe lady he got married to in Nigeria is aware.
He got married to the white woman to get his papers and of course a stable life there.
If she made him happy am sure he wouldn't have long throat for the black one.
See as the lady just leave body.
But these men are wicked 10years of pretense.
GOD HELP,only last night I read the one who got engaged just 4 month after his wife departure and to think he did to his wife best friend the x queen of aso I fear men.
I read that story,am suprise Stella want to be the last to make a post .
DeleteAfter 2 months bf she would bring the story
Stella better goan gt it and post oh, it is such gist that makes a blog interesting.
Men...
ReplyDeleteTheir matter just tire me.
Wetin e dey find again after 4kids?
Ode,oponu osi
It's not a surprise na must naija men abroad do that alot.They marry d whites for papers and come back and marry properly even their families will be putting pressure on them to marry a naija girl and most times d naija girls are aware of it. There are plenty of them na, stay in big house and ride big cars but their hubby comes back once in two years. The one I hate most is that some of this Yankee hubby will just keep u with their family mtchewwww
ReplyDeleteVery common. My hubby's cousin and her co wife where caught pants down some months ago. F**king the same man. They are married to brothers based in spain. They come back once in a year. They sent the two women packing. So shameful
DeletePlease what does cowife mean? Nothing wey dem no dey hear for this blog.
DeleteThat's men for you. Stupid men everywhere
ReplyDeleteI tell you.
DeleteMen think with their blokos..immediately the thing comes up with blood filled veins popping out...they forget they have a real brain and get start thinking irrationally
ReplyDeleteLafresh, I didn't see any contact on ur profile, mail me @ emjay2fine@gmail.com, thanks.
ReplyDeleteSide eyes @Emjay2fine.
DeleteIt is well. Kikikikikiki
This David is a fool, he got what he deserve. Why do people do this.
ReplyDeleteBTW.......Happy Christmas to all.
I am sure he married the UK woman for papers. Men and their wahala
ReplyDeleteBefore nko na because of papers.
DeleteHmmmmmmm!!! This is so heartbreaking, I really feel for the woman. 10 years is not a joke o and it's not like she didn't give birth, she gave birth to four children so wat does he want again??? Kai! Men ehnn..The Nigerian wife sef, didn't she know the man was married or she just didn't care, was she that desperate for marriage abi men don finish for this world ni
ReplyDeleteDats why I hate any woman dat is a second wife.Dey r all BITCHES.stella its really painful, very painful.My father did dat to my mum but I hv sworn with my life if my hubby tries it wit me he's a dead meat.i hv four lovely kids,am super loyal and very supportive so I hv paid my dues as a wife. I dnt mince words.
DeleteShe actually had two kids before meeting him to have two more for him.
DeleteShe is desperate.. Mere looking at her,u will know she is a fellow gwegs. She doesnt mind hooking any available blokos.
DeleteEya
ReplyDeleteBut just negodu the woman's face
Lmao
You go fear bad belle, enemy of progress, principality and powers all the way from Nigeria, chai.
ReplyDeleteAhah lol. I think the amebo that told the wife has been dumped too by the supposed friend of this man. And perhaps she feels this dude must have been in know of how and why she was dumped, so she decided to pay him back by telling his wife he's married someone else. That's the only sense I can make of it. Cos it's not like they were really close buddies for her to feel obligated that she owes her the truth na. Bet the man will so deal with the amebo ehn. Lol
DeleteIn MM's voice, madam you are too fat, that's why he married his ex. Some men are shameless. After ten whole years? And what was that ex thinking? She knew he has a family legally.
ReplyDeleteServes him right. He will regret this for the rest of his foolish yoruba man anyway that is how they are
ReplyDeleteHian
ReplyDeleteThat's the way all these Nigerian men do na
One categorically told me he has a wife abroad but would also want a Nigerian wife cos the ones they marry abroad Is a contract marriage. Me get myself involved in that? Nbanu.
I dedicate Chizoba Ibebuike's song Umu nwoke to all the men doing this.
Most na contract marriage mainly because of papers.
DeleteKikikikikikikiki@dedicate chizoba ibebuike's song.
Deletehis marriage to his new wife would never be fruitful
ReplyDeleteYou are very stupid for this stupid comment,idiat
DeleteAnon 08:00 are u his God? Stupid idiot
DeleteMen. Choi. Happy Christmas blog family
ReplyDeleteI hate this thing Nigerians or black men do.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you stay in your country and earn a living, must you travel abroad and live large at someone else's expense.
Shameless men, I blame gullible whities for loving the black dick ain't nothing special about it.
Funny thing their Nigerian women would agree to the arrangement with the hope of travelling overseas one day.
I know of a lady that waited 10 years before she could join her husband.
He had already married her before he traveled and married oyibo, very beautiful lady.
It's preposterous.
I'll go anon. That's what my hubby's friend suggested to him. To come over to where he's based and marry an older white woman for green card and divorce her after 6months. That they'll pay the woman cos dey won't be living together. Just for papers and the woman is aware. I told hubby that he should better go and tell his peeps and mine before doing such. Shey him get sense. He said no o! That its not necessary. That he'll stay a couple of yrs before sending us over. Me and our 3 children. Just negodu. As I be mumu of the highest order, abi. I told him 2 better stay back and hustle like his mates. He just grumbled away. Mtchewwwwwwwww
DeleteU don't need to tell us u are going anon,who cares?
DeleteYou do. Else u won't have masturbated under my comment
DeleteMen are wicked and two timing bastards
ReplyDeleteMost Nigerian men are gold diggers after getting his green card he deem it fit to marry a nigerian lady. This one na small come to palms at lekki you go see them plenty.
ReplyDeleteLol they full every where. Thats why then when i was single, any guy wey dey abroad doesn't move me cos most of them are bloody liars.
DeleteI blame the woman in Nigeria that married him
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas everyone
See mumu! Someone is accommodating and paying your bills yet you have the gut to marry another woman on top her money. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteSome Naija men are wicked no be small. Merry Christmas to better Naija guys out there. You guys rock and make me still believe. Merry Christmas to Stella D'Kork and her family and all members of Bvn (lmao!) and their families. Lurrrrv u guys!
ReplyDeleteSigh
ReplyDeleteCan't blame the men 100%. The women getting married to them even after knowing they are already married should share in the blame
ReplyDeleteCan't blame the men 100%. The women getting married to them even after knowing they are already married should share in the blame
ReplyDeletehandwork of broke ass men!
ReplyDeleteSharp guy.. Lol. Make oyinbo no vex oo
ReplyDeleteThe man must have married her for money or papers. poor lady has not even decoded yet
ReplyDeleteIn light of all the yoruba jokes let me just say, he learnt well from his father. One can't also say he married her because of papers considering how long he was married to the Tracy woman.
ReplyDeleteYou see, that crossed my mind too. That 10years cannot be completely said to be based on falsehood. Moreso that they went ahead to have two kids. I think he must love her enough to be able to cohabit with her for so long, so outside of whatever convenience she may have provided him, a part of him was genuine. He prolly wouldn't have left her if she never found out.
DeleteNigeria babe used african science on him ,gone are the days when people marry and cohabit for papers anymore,it can be arranged ,for him to be with her ten years is not about papers joo .
DeleteI don't understand the women that agree to marry an already married man too. It takes two to tango. A man with four children still wants more with an ex girlfriend after 10 years. Smh
ReplyDeleteThey want to travel out with time so they don't care if he has ten wives over there. If only they know it's not so easy over there.
DeleteThings naija men do to get 'pali'. The new wife is the original wife left in Nigeria when he travelled to look for greener pasture.
ReplyDeleteMy mind is telling me that is the new wife's doing. She tattle on him to the white woman for them to get divorce, thereby giving her an opening to be with her husband. Hope he don get 'pali' before this sha or else he's on a long thing *in Dbanj's voice.
Signed: Lolashow
Even oyinbo don wise ,money for hand ,then contract marriage.
DeleteGood thing you kicked him out Tracy.
ReplyDeleteAnother Solomon 'the serial husband'.
This one that married him Nigeria sef; was she going to be naija wife all her life?.
ReplyDeleteThings women put themselves through sha.smh!
Don't mind the Nigeria wife. Nah say she no see who marry her before the man come she for no wait. The fear of been a Gwens.....
DeleteThis is gobe. Karma has caught up with him. After four children, what else did he want???
ReplyDeletemen with their selfish desires
ReplyDeleteOh dear, don't even try to hurt yourself any further you will never understand men, they're just like that all of them. Don't think he won't do same to the new wife if he is tired with her and sooner than later he will. But una for let the babe know say na because of paper him marry her in the first place only say she come chewing gum him wella making it difficult for him to leave earlier. Don't worry Uk madam karma is gonna get him.
ReplyDeleteThe day I understand d way men reason, dat day ehnnnnn. How do they feel comfortable living a life of lies, how do they have peace maintaining two marriages or two relationships, I can't keep up such lies because I won't just have peace. You'll be locking ur fone, having secrets calls, secret face book messages, hoping d wife you leave with doesn't answer. Ladies be careful when ur husbands/boyfriends ignore some calls infront of u, phone constantly on silent, then they go elsewhere to return d calls. Merry Christmas all.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for her,men..smh
ReplyDeleteHow could he have done this to a woman he had spent ten years with, well I guess men will always be men.
ReplyDeleteIf you are 'in the abroad' and want to marry a Nigerian man, shine ya eye o!
ReplyDeleteDem no dey tell pesin twice.
Remove the eye, scrub it in Salt and hot water and Dettol and put it back in your head.
Trustworthy Nigerian men are as easy to find as honest Nigerian politicians.
Kwentinue doing 'love is blind' you hear? *yimu
When he has stolen all your money, abandoned you with half a football team and dashed you HIV, your glaucoma go clear fast fast.
Madam, kpele ti e.
How could he have done this to a woman he had spent ten years with, well I guess men will always be men.
ReplyDeleteU can imagine! Sometimes hehn......well, I reserve my comment.
ReplyDeleteWuruwuru man
ReplyDeleteActually, only 2 of the kids are his. She was already a mum of 2 when she met Mr Naija. If you read the full article, you'll realise she rushed into this marriage. She met him March 2004, and December of the same year (exactly 9 months later) she gave birth to a son.
ReplyDeleteAre u saying that bcos she rushed into the marriage dats y the man married smone else?
DeleteWomen love blaming vo women for problems in rrlationships.
They think they will have peace.
ReplyDeleteNa wa. Nothing to say
ReplyDeleteStella, this is not the true picture of what happened. This guy is a close friend. Both of them are still together. Spoke with them today. I will u a mail shortly.
ReplyDeleteAll those making comments do not know what could have transpired; yet they are quick to make abusive comments. These women tend to treat African men very badly when they marry them. I bet that guy was being treated and spoken to like a houseboy. Why would he not want someone to treat him like a king?
ReplyDeleteThe woman had 2 kids from somewhere else too. Ask her why she is not with the father of her kids.
Finally, women who sell their private lives' stories to newspapers like the sun are not the kind of women I would trust for an inch.
