What Happened

Source

My cousin brother named Jonathan Ewuga impregnated his girlfriend whose name is Cecilia Johnson eight years ago and never wanted to get married to her,, claiming that the pregnancy was a mistake and He was not ready for marriage.
But after much pressure and threat from his family and that of the ladys family,, he decided to get married to her. So he paid her bride price and brought her home and the started leaving as husband and wife.

In few months time,, the wife finally put to birth and it was a bouncing baby boy she gave birth to. The husband, his family and her family were so excited about her safe delivery. Immediately the returned from the hospital, the husband knelt down and apologized for not being a good husband all this while, the wife forgave him and they started leaving as one united and happy family.

After three years,,, the wife still gave birth to another child again, and this time around it was different gender she gave birth to (Bouncing baby girl). The husband became even more happier this time because He naturally Loves the female children than the male children. Their love became more stronger and their family was so peaceful and harmonized.

But everything changed when the man got admission to study Engineering at the federal polytechnic for his HND program,, When he got married, he was just an ND holder, so after given birth to two children, He decided to further His education. The first semester when he returned home,, He started giving his wife some attitudes, and he will always insult her at any slightest opportunity He gets.

He stops providing for His family and He stopped paying his children school fees, so they had to drop out of school. The wife and the childrens life became so miserable that they barely eat one square meal. Things became even more worse that He send his wife and children out of the house after he has graduated.

He later got married to a different lady, who He claims she was more beautiful and educated than his wife,, The live together with his new wife for four years but she was unable to conceive till her demise. Few months after his second wifes burial,, He went back to his first wife and children pleading for forgiveness but the refused forgiving him,, He also pleaded with them to come back Home but they refused.

So as it stands now,, the man is so frustrated and his life has become so miserable. He lost his second wife who was unable to give him a child, and the first wife and children refused coming back to Him.

What I have learned from it

I have learned to always appreciate and be contented with what I have because,, you will never know the value of something or someone until you lose them.

Thank you all for reading till this very point.... I am grateful🙏🙏🙏
