The Coup

She started cheating on her husband 
as a result of a wrong counsel 
Her husband was a medical doctor, 
she was his second wife 
The first wife divorced him after seven 
years of marriage, he told her this 
when he was courting her! 
He was a very broken man at the time, 
her baby... 
She was carried by the tidal wave of 
his emotional vulnerability 
She had known him for many years before 
then 
They both stayed in the same apartment 
building in New York when he was still 
in medical school! 
She was fifteen years old at the time and 
her parents took him like a son 
(They were the only Nigerians in the 
building and he was very friendly) 
His apartment was directly opposite their 
own 
He was ten years older than her 
They met again shortly after his divorce 
He had established a huge hospital and 
was swimming in money 
She didn’t know what brought him to her 
mind the day she decided to call him to 
say hello 
His phone rang once and when she heard 
his voice she jumped in a car and drove 
straight to his house, He was badly hit 
by the divorce '
She comforted him 
Medically, there was nothing wrong with 
him 
His ex-wife was also perfectly healthy 
He kept wondering why she didn’t endure 
Why she walked out on him 
She was not in any serious relationship at 
the time 
She saw how love wrecked him and decided 
to help him mend 
One thing led to another and they became 
lovers 
She wasn’t really "swept" off her feet 
He was comfortable enough for her to take 
marrying him seriously from the day she 
stepped into his house 
They were married a year later 
Two months after their marriage, his Ex-wife 
delivered a baby boy 
He took the news badly 
She tried her best to be there for him 
To be his joy He was a good man
 He treated her like his lifeline 
They travelled everywhere together
He was fun 
The sex was very good too 
He knew the strings and she knew the sound
 But she didn’t get pregnant 
They tried everything 
EVERYTHING 
From prayers to medical procedures, 
she drank concoctions and burnt many candles 
She never thought she would ever be in a 
position to be waiting to get pregnant! 
She had always been confident that as 
soon as she desired to have children, 
she would just start dropping them in 
twos and threes! 
After seven years of waiting, they were 
introduced to a lady 
The lady was a seer and she came highly 
recommended 
The lady prayed with them and told them 
that her husband must marry many wives 
before they can have a child 
It was the most absurd thing she had ever 
heard in her life 
She thought her husband would laugh it off 
and discard the suggestion 
To her chagrin, her husband took it serious 
Serious enough to wake her up in the middle 
of the night and table it as a discussion 
He said he was introduced to the woman 
by someone who vouched for her accuracy! 
She told a friend of hers, her hairdresser
 Her hairdresser told her to get pregnant 
quickly and use that to secure her home 
If she got pregnant, her husband wouldn’t 
have to marry another 
That was what opened the door to her
infidelity 
It was the same hairdresser that introduced 
Her to a guy selling electronics at Mufu 
Lanihun shopping complex, Iwo Road, Ibadan
They got into the sneaking game 
She would meet him at a hotel, meet him 
at the hairdresser’s house, meet him at his flat, 
meet him at some of his friend’s houses! 
Her husband was far above his social class 
There was no way they could ever meet 
She was very good at cheating 
She didn’t know she had it in her to be so 
deceptive and manipulative 
Her husband had no idea 
Within a year, she was pregnant 
When she told her husband, he was strangely 
restrained in his celebrations 
She felt he was just disappointed he wouldn’t 
get to marry his prophesied “other” wives 
She noticed that he stopped having sex 
with her 
Whenever she attempted to sleep with him, 
he would hide behind her pregnancy! 
He made sure she had everything she 
needed to be comfortable 
When she was due to deliver her baby he 
drove her to the hospital 
She delivered by 2 am! 
Two days after she delivered, he told her 
he wanted a divorce 
She was shocked when she protested, he 
presented her with pictures of her 
indiscretions 
He had an envelope full of them 
Her secret was not so secret after all! 
It was the worst season of her life 
She called her lover and told him what 
happened 
He told her she could move in with him 
One week after she delivered her baby boy, 
she moved with her baby and younger sister 
to the lover's house! 
As soon as she got there, she realized she 
was in trouble! 
Her lover was a leech 
His rent was suddenly due, all the electronics 
in the house were bad and he charged her for 
electrical bill whenever she used electricity 
for anything
His car suddenly stopped working 
He started spending her money and driving 
her car 
He had feelings for her wellbeing or that of 
the baby 
When she protested, he slapped her around 
and called her names! 
He was a professional “satisfier” of all the 
single ladies and single mothers who were 
looking for someone to service them and 
she was cramping his style by her moaning 
and nagging! 
Within a month, she was broke! 
She needed help badly 
She wanted to move out of his apartment, 
rent a place of her own and start a business 
to keep body and soul together 
She needed some money 
She had nobody to turn to except her 
ex-husband 
One afternoon while crying her eyes out 
she came across some tweets from 
@GbengaWemimo 
She reached out to him 
She asked him some serious questions 
He told her life's answers are in Jesus 
and not in a Why has my life gone upside down?
She believed him and turned her life over 
to the Lord Jesus! 
A month and a week after she moved from 
the hospital to her lover’s house, she 
summoned courage and went to see 
ex-husband 
Her plan was to beg him to assist her with 
some money 
She knew he was kind-hearted and very 
loving 
They also had a long history that preceded 
their marriage 
She knew he would help her 
When she got to the house, the security man 
opened the gate for her without announcing her 
He assumed she was still the madam of the 
house since she didn’t return to the house 
to pack her belongings when she left the hospital 
The housemaid also opened the door for her 
immediately 
She walked into the house and went straight 
to the master bedroom! 
When she opened the door, she saw him 
(her ex-husband) and the woman "seer" 
Who said her husband had to marry many 
wives! 
The most unexpected thing happened at 
that moment 
The woman threw her ex-husband off her 
with abnormal strength and ran to a corner 
of the room where she huddled and started 
screaming! 
Her husband looked at her, looked at the 
woman and started crying! 
She turned around to leave, it was obvious 
she wouldn’t be able to talk to her ex-husband 
or get anything out of him in his state of mind 
Her husband ran after her and started begging 
her not to leave 
Everything became confusing! 
After many pleas, she stayed 
Her husband dressed up and made some calls 
About an hour later, her hairdresser arrived at 
their house 
When the hairdresser ran in, 
she said “Where is my sister? Her husband 
pointed upstairs and the hairdresser ran there! 
Her hairdresser didn’t even look at her once! 
An ambulance arrived and her hairdresser and 
the seer woman left together 
After they had left, her husband came to her 
and said “I am sorry for everything that 
happened. 
I didn’t know how I sent you out of my life.
 I didn’t know how my heart was turned 
against you! I am sorry” 
Her husband took her back 
Her husband named his baby Akorede 
It’s been four years, she had delivered two 
other children for her husband 
In January 2020, she did a paternity test
 for her first son, the test confirmed that 
her husband was the father of her child. 
Their indiscretions only existed in their
 memories as a caution against falling for 
the wiles of the enemy in the future!
 Her husband had also learned not to visit 
spiritualists again 
They had both learned the hard way! 

Ps: Everything was planned by the hairdresser 
and her younger sister
They knew she was desperate to have a child
and the desperation made her and her husband 
gullible baits! 
The sisters unsettled her and showed her 
out of the door of her marriage. 
Charms are extremely unreliable especially 
when such comes in contact with someone 
full of the Holy Spirit! 
The charm used to snatch her husband went
 bad the moment the husband saw his wife 
again in a compromising position 
The rest is history! 

GSW's notes: No matter how bad your 
reality is, Jesus is the cup of mercy and 
redemption that never runs dry 
I remember the message she sent to me 
on the day she reached out for the first 
time! 
She was asking about suicide and it’s eternal 
implications 
After some probing, she told me the whole 
story! 
She gave her life to Jesus and got baptized 
in the Holy Ghost! 
Everything turned!
