Quotes “My phone was buzzing with notifications, and I started receiving phone calls from my friends who called to check on me after reports circulating claimed that my marriage had ended. Then I decided to check on YouTube. And even after that, I still didn’t know that something like that had happened until I got the final call that the marriage had ended,” “I’ve watched you twist facts confidently, assuming no one’s paying attention. But now that you’ve mistaken grace for guilt, I will ask you to choose your next story wisely because I came with footnotes. “You claimed in that little interview with your echo chamber that you ‘found out about the divorce on YouTube.” Lie. You claimed I signed and sent you the divorce papers, which you were unaware of. Another lie,” “Based on the recent events, it is evident that there is no hope that this marriage will work anymore. In September 2020, when you decided to leave our home and separate our family, and then called me to say that you were not coming back, it became clear that our marriage was over,” “Let’s just say: when a child needs makeup to hide a scar before school, the damage runs deeper than the skin. He’s alive. He remembers. And so do I. You screamed at me boldly, “I don’t want to be here, but I have to be here!!!” “Abeg, what’s left for a man to do when his home sounds like a hostage situation? You knew I was leaving. You knew I wasn’t coming back. I packed my son, my peace, and my entire life, and walked out the front door in broad daylight. You watched me leave that Sunday morning,” “Just as I have left you in peace. I’ve chosen a more private life, so don’t drag me into your soap opera. You’ve had your five minutes from me,”
