2Questions of the day -In a marriage that ended within 6months


 Can two people genuinely find love through the social media(facebook,twitter etc) that ends up in a permanent relationship? And how long do you have to know that person before you tie the knots……………….these questions are as a result of  these two people who met through facebook got married but it only lasted just for  6months .
 
This marriage took place November 2011,in May 2012 it ended……K-solo is a top music producer…..City People’s magazine  interviewed the wife and this was what she said;
According to Kikelomo------K-Solo and I met on Facebook in April 2011 and continued our friendship on Blackberry. We eventually met face to face at a show in Eko Hotel in Lagos. I am not really based in Lagos. I am always in Warri, Port Harcourt, South Africa or Cameroon. I am always traveling because of my business. But because of K-Solo I started coming to Lagos frequently after we started dating. 
Do continue


By August of 2011 we started having issues. He was actually scamming one girl. One Leilani Ifeoma in Houston, Texas.
Apparently they have not met physically, they met on the internet and she was also into entertainment so K-Solo started scamming her, collecting money from her and promising her marriage.
The day I got to know I was in his house. He left his phone and stepped out, so I picked the call and I told her I am K-Solo's wife and the lady said it wasn't possible because they were planning to get married. When I asked him about her, he said please don't mind her, and later said he was sorry.
But when I continued to demand for answers, he started beating me despite the fact that I was pregnant. He carried a lamp and threw at me. Before then, when I met him, he told me he wanted to shoot a video for his song 'Ni Igboro; and said he didn't have money for it.
 I gave him N515, 000 for the video shoot. I gave him another N100, 000 some weeks before the video shoot. All through this I didn't know he had a girlfriend that he had been living with for seven years. Each time I go to the studio, I see her there with a K-Solo tattoo on her arm.
When I asked him who she was, he said she was his sister's daughter. I later found out that when I gave him the money for the video shoot, he used half of it to celebrate a birthday for Bimbo. A few weeks later, the lady in the US, Ify, called his phone and I picked it up.
When I told him I'd picked his call, he got angry and went outside the house to go talk with the lady. He was begging the girl and lying that I was his sister. He even asked her if she was ready to sponsor their wedding. After listening in on the conservation, I told him then and there that the relationship was over, that I wanted my N515, 000 back. Not just that, I'd spend a lot of money on him.
He started begging and crying. A few days later, I travelled to South Africa. While in South Africa, he kept calling and begging and I eventually forgave him because I was pregnant and he convinced me he was a changed man. He actually told me he had gone for deliverance.
That was when we decided to get married. The only money K-Solo spent on the wedding was N15, 000 for wedding invites. I took care of everything. The cloth K-Solo was wearing, my own, his pilot suits, clothes, shoes, bag his mum wore, the feeding and drinks. I did everything.
I spend over N3.5 million. On the night of the wedding, K-Solo woke me up around 3am and said now that he's my husband, when am I going to make him a signatory to my company's account, and when am I going to change all my property to his name.
I got scared and first thing in the morning I called my brother and told him what happened. He advised me to move all my documents, chequebooks out of the house, which I did. Whenever I asked for money for feeding or upkeep, he would shout at me and say 'What's the meaning of that? Don't you have more money than me? What did I marry you for? K-Solo started beating me up after the wedding and I lost the baby I was carrying when we got married on the 26th of November.
The marriage finally crashed in February 2012 when he called me and told me that Timaya just bought a Nigerian used Range Rover sport, that he wants me to buy him a brand new Range Rover worth 7.5 million and also put N10million in his account. I told him that even if I had the money, I won't do it because I expect him to talk about how to invest money in productive business and not buying Range Rover.

 Moreover, I gave K-Solo N2million to pay for house rent for our 4-bedroom home at Ogba Medium estate, but he only gave the agent N1million and squandered the remaining money to buy Hublot wrist watches, Blackberry phones expensive shoes and designer wears. When I pointed this out to him, he told me that he will make the marriage miserable for me. On February 14th, after a misunderstanding, K-Solo packed a few of his things and moved to his mother's house.
I left our home too but was advised to go back since our marriage was still young. Because I wanted to make it work, I took my brother to K-Solo's mother's house to apologise to him and his mum. He later returned home. But immediately he returned, he asked me if I was ready to buy him the Range Rover and I told him it wasn't going to happen.

 So in March we went to Shoprite and he wanted me to buy two wine glasses that cost N2, 500 each. I suggested that we should open our wedding gifts that there definitely will be wine glasses somewhere, and he just slapped me right there in Shoprite, and as he was coming close to me I ran into the car park, he ran after me, removed his belt and started beating me.

People started taking pictures of us and some guys tried to drag him away, by then, my right eye started bleeding. While they were trying to calm him down, he ran away from them and went to carry a stone and threw it at me, and I just passed out. I woke up in the hospital and what he told my family was that I fell. he started begging me and crying that it was the devil's work.

After that beating, I stopped doing everything I used to do financially in our home and he became very frustrated and aggressive. But the marriage finally packed on a particular night I came back home late from going to buy fruits for the house. Immediately I entered the house, he got up and started shouting at me. He started coming close, and I tried to leave the room, but he dragged me back, locked the door and threw the key in the drawer. He started beating me, slapping me and broke a coke bottle on my forehead. I stood up and ran to the bathroom, he followed me, took the mopping stick, broke it and started hitting my stomach that I must the pregnancy must come out.

By then I was pregnant again. I was bleeding on my forehead, and he picked up the washing machine in the bathroom and threw it at me. I was just there bleeding and lifeless, so finally I some of his boys were able to break the door and they started holding him back. the guys tried to stop the bleeding on my forehead but couldn't stop the one underneath.

They tried to take me to the hospital but K-Solo prevented them. So I was bleeding from 11pm to 7am the following morning, whih was when they finally took me to the hospital. By the time I returned from the hospital, he had moved his things from the house. That was when I discovered that he my trinket box with gold over N2.5million was missing and this was not the first time he's stealing from me. I wrote a petition to the commissioner of police and on May 29th, the police went to pick him up.

The case is with the police and I told them all I want is my trinkets back and for him to sign an undertaken that he will never touch me again and threaten to kill me. He has said he's not the owner of the pregnancy, which is fine with me. I don't want him to come close to the child and the child will not bear his name.

I love ur blog Vivien.this is a very interesting question,I tell u, most pple cant give an honest answer to this bc 1. when it comes to marriage its how well u know each, no pretence, love is like addiction but the love itself is not enough if there is no money for basic needs
2. I met husband in 2004 on facebook,though he is scottish...right from d on set, i knew this was d man for me, we never met till 3mths after our conversation on facebook, I was working with mobile as at that time.I prayed down heaven it was anything like that -the one prayer..."GOD I HAVE SEEN D MAN I WISH TO MARRY HELP ME, IF HE IS NOT D ONE GIVE ME MINE"
sincerely God answered but i did my home work,i always said my mind on any issue and so did he that was my first discussion with him that plz I HATE PRETENCES, i gave him examples of some pple u pretended and be what they are not,he too told me what puts him off- a woman who cannot accept the fact that he smokes and he is an introvert.
These were our prorites in d r/ship.6mths i visited scotland, and everyone in his life we share 3weeks together....As soon as i came back to Nigeria, he told me he will be coming a mth's time to see my people...and to cut d long story.....we got married but the 1st one yr was not easy,it was like was this d same man i spoke to almost 12hrs in a day...so d communiction was there but its a different ball game when u are in each others space but i thk God we have 3 beautiful children and our marriage is waxing stronger and stronger by d day.
What worked for me might not work for sb else but one thing i can bet life in a r/ship is that when d two people involved are not pretending and d woman is prayerful.....d marriage works..so it is not where u met d person or how long u dated.

What the woman said was all in her favour, when we hear the other side of the story from the man then I can make a conclusion...but from d looks of things the woman saw early signs of doomed marriage,why didnt she walk away then?

I think 6mths is too short to get married to sb, at least 2yrs u can't pretend for too long and communication must be consistent, talk abt everything

Dayo said...

All ds advisers...nawo for all of u, didnt u read the first woman's story, when it comes to marriage its is luck, just pray u get it right,there is no perfect time to get married to sb u meet,its d chemistry btw d 2parties involved if u are lucky it is be well mixed like jollof rice and if are unlucky it is like water mixed with petrol

Maxell said...

Just as time heals all wounds that is enough reason to date and court say 2yrs or more to get to know each...some churches say 6mths is fine others are against it. I think 6mths is to short

We xpressurseldhow readers will not buy ds story untill hear from K-solo,so she was so perfect in d marriage...well too bad she faulted when she saw red lights not 1,2, she still went to marry him....was she looking4 fame too bc from d story such a guy as scammer will be d most useless husband and father any day anytime so why didnt she take off...abegi ur stupidity will not give u sympathy here.

Monic said...

Dont mind her...in all d their r/ship she didnt know all family members and no one was close to her...d story no jell

There was aparticular story like this a memeber of our church once experience, despite the hammering of our pastors saying that 6mths is not enough bf some to meet sb and get married to d person,ds church member met d man thru face book, d man cam to Nigeria and they got married, 3mths after wedding d woman losta her job 7mths later she kept having misscarriage..d man packed his things and left, d marriage didnt last upto one yr...
I know know how someone meets pple on social media and get married in my view it not wise and i wont advise anyone to go thru that

For a marriage2 work both parties shld know themselves well,where u meet,how u meet and how long does not strenghten any marriage.The story is incomplete,d lady in question didnt have siblings who she shld 've confined in and tell what is going on when she met d so d called K-solo and her brothers or cousins didnt do underground check up in ds our days of atrocities. In Africa marriage is not just u and ur hubby it's u and ur relations, whether u believe it or not
