A Delta woman, Mrs. Catherine Akosa has complained bitterly for missing her husband since 21 years he travelled to London.
Mrs. Akosa told Emerald News that though she answers a married woman, her situation was exactly like an unmarried woman as she single handedly brings her four children up.
According to her, she has already had three children while being pregnant for the fourth child when her husband left for Britain.
This meduim gathered that her husband’s promise to come later and take her and their children along was not feasible.
Mrs. Akosa lamented that none of her children knows their father because of their tender age as at the time he left for London.
She complained that her four children were not happy over their situation, adding that though her husband calls them once in a while, they want to meet with their father physically.
” If I tell you that my children and I are happy living without him I am not telling you the truth. You can imagine that the child I was pregnant with when my husband travelled is now 20 years old”, she said.
The woman who said that her husband was from the Anioma part of Delta told Emerald News that her plans with her husband’s family to bring him back to Nigeria proved abortive as he refused to come back to join his family.
Mrs. Akosa stated that the worst part of her ordeal was that her husband does not send any money to them since 21 years ago.
According to her, her husband continued to tell her that he has not gotten a lucrative job that could be fetching him enough money.
The woman said she is hopeful that God will answer her one day as she has been praying for God to bring her husband back to Nigeria.
She submitted that her husband’ s character might not be ordinary, adding that no man will be happy living the way he is living now.
