My marriage is 17 years this year, we used to live together here in the village but my husband traveled to Lagos in search of a Job after he lost his job here.

We have 5 children together. I am selling food by the road side with umbrella. No shop, anytime rain falls it will fall on me and my two children that used to help me. All my children are in government school the one that finished secondary school no money to further so she is selling food with me.

When my husband was going to this Lagos he told me that he will get a job and after some time he will come and take me and the children to lagos. Now my husband has been working in Lagos for almost 5 years now and anytime he comes to visit us and i remind him that things are not easy here and that we need to go to lagos with him he will fla1r up and start getting very angry, he doesn’t send money to us and he comes once in 2 or 3 months , he always says he is busy with work.

When he came for Easter this year my daughter asked him to give her his address in lagos to fill her school form the place where she has to put her father’s name and everything that was how i got the address and i went to lagos last week to see why he didn’t want us to come with him. I traveled to Lagos to search for him without letting him no i was coming.

When he saw me, he pretended that he didn’t know me. He started sh0uting at me, asking me who are you
I started crying and one woman came out and asked me madam who are you to him, I told her I’m his wife with 5 children 3 boys and 2 girls.
The woman told me my husband has a wife here. The wife is even pregnant, he has been married to her now for 3 years that’s why he left us in the village.

That’s how I came back to the village with tears
He called me while I was inside the bus and warned me never to visit him in Lagos again. That he now has a Lagos wife. That I’m his village wife.

I have tried to rep0rt him to his parents and siblings and uncle they are all supporting him that he has the right to marry many wives. I don’t know why my husband has turned out to be wicked like this , i have never done anything wrong to him , how do i continue to take care of 5 children alone in this hard economy? Please I need words of encouragement and advice on My situation please
