My late husband’s younger brother has threatened to sack me from our home if I decline to marry him

My spouse and I have been married for 20 years. We had four kids. He was a good man, but he became ill in the early part of this year and died in April. Death is never easy, and I had to be strong for my children while still looking ahead to what the future held for us. I’m not sure if all tribes in Ghana practice this, but my husband and I are from the same tribe, and it’s customary for a widow to be given over to her late husband’s brother upon his death. It’s not that I’m expected to marry my brother-in-law; the intention is for him to look after his nephews and nieces and to be a father figure to them now that their biological father is no longer alive. So it’s more of a formality for him to provide some advice to the children and for me to contact him if I need anything. If he is able, he can also provide financial support.

My husband’s only sibling was given custody of my children and myself. He used to be a decent man and he was extremely courteous. That is why his acts have taken me by surprise. After my husband was buried, he began to pay us frequent visits. I assumed it was to keep us company and distract us from missing my late spouse. But it was becoming too much. He’ll come to see us and then refuse to go. He will pay me a visit and enter my bedroom, pretending to browse through my husband’s belongings. I didn’t like the way he was acting, so I politely asked him if he might go a bit early because his children were waiting for him at home. (He has two children from two different mothers. He’s not married.) Then he said that because I am his wife, I should not complain. When he said that, he was laughing, but I wasn’t laughing with him. I didn’t like where this was headed.

My father called me a while later. The elderly guy called to tell me that my brother-in-law and other elderly men from my husband’s family had came to see him and told him they wanted to marry me off to my late husband’s brother. My father was completely unprepared. Fortunately, he declined any Schnapps they brought. He instead informed them that I was old enough to make these decisions and that he would ask me. My husband’s funeral was only a month away. I’m still dressed in black. Even if I remarry, it will never be with his brother. He has grown quite antagonistic to me since I declined his offer. He began threatening to evict us from his brother’s home. Meanwhile, our children inherited the house, and because I was legally married to his brother, he has no such power. He got really intoxicated one day and came to our house.

He got into a confrontation with me when I asked him to leave, and he almost struck me. He would have attacked me if it hadn’t been for the timely intervention of my first son. His elder brother has never done anything like this before. After that, I informed my father, who organized a meeting with the head of my late husband’s family. Despite being summoned, my brother-in-law did not appear. I vowed to take him to court for his threats and attitude, but the family cautioned me not to since certain issues are resolved internally. My son has pledged to confront him if he comes to our house again, but he is just 19, and I don’t want to cause any difficulties between him and his uncle. He’s already said he’ll come and stay in the boys’ quarters with his kids. We used to rent it out, but the tenant departed some weeks ago, and my son wants to occupy the property as he is growing and he wants to have his own area. (He lives in the same room as his younger brother.)

I’ve informed my brother-in-law that he has no right to dictate to us how we should use our house and that he has no right to inhabit any part of it. He continues telling me that my days are numbered and that I will have to hand over the house to him shortly. These threats irritate me greatly. This man was not like that while my husband was alive but look at him today. My husband’s parents are also deceased, therefore he pays no attention to anyone. He’s turned into my worst nightmare. Do you have any advice on how to deal with him?

I introduced her to fraud but she scammed me and married my Canadian-based friend

I introduced her to fraud but she scammed me and married my Canadian-based friend

I used to do fraud. Someone introduced it to my buddy, who then introduced it to me. The game has different stages. We were at the bottom of the game’s ladder, so we didn’t make much money, but the risk involved was excellent. Aside from the danger, you must labour every day in order to earn GHC500 every week.

We slept very little because our clients were all over the world, and because of the time difference, we had to stay awake in order to communicate with them. I had a major hit one day. I received GHC7,000 from a bargain and immediately purchased an iPhone for my girlfriend, Cynthia. She was aware that I was involved in fraud, yet she was uninterested. She became interested in the business when I gave her the iPhone and told her how I obtained it.

So when I had a customer who claimed to be a girl, Cynthia was the one who spoke to them. She was the one who set up the video calls. We were still struggling. We halted operations since the money was not flowing as promised.

Life was difficult for two jobless lovers. I couldn’t help her. I couldn’t help myself, so we relied on the generosity of friends who were succeeding in the game.

Ernest, a buddy of mine from Canada, came over one day, and we were all hanging around. Cynthia later informed me, “Your friend likes me.” He was licking his lips and staring at me in some way. Let’s go get some money from him. Tell him I’m not your girlfriend. Allow him to take me so we may obtain money from him.”

Ernest was formerly a player in the game. He went outdoors after getting money. I warned Cynthia Ernest that she might catch the hint, but she was so enthusiastic about collecting money that we gave it a shot. “Don’t let him sleep with you,” was the lone caution. Never.”

She brought me GHC 500 a week later. “He gave me 1,000 GHC.” “That’s your cut,” she explained.

Ernest was hiding the affair because he was afraid I would be upset if I found out he was seeing my sister. He was even concealing it from the team, but we were aware of what was going on.

He was here for a month, and we earned a lot of money.

He was still sending money after he left. Cynthia gave me my portion. I got a job and advised her not to see Ernest anymore. She didn’t give up. It escalated into a brawl, in which I threatened to let the cat out of the bag. “If you try it, you’ll go to jail,” she said. You know I’m familiar with all of your previous transactions. How much money can you offer me to get me to quit seeing Ernest?”

Cynthia is currently in Canada with Ernest, where they are having the time of their life. I tear up when I see their images. When I see these videos on Instagram, I want to kick them in the video.

Ernest finally understands reality. Cynthia, I believe, informed him in a way that she wouldn’t be held responsible, saying something like, “He gave me to you so we could get money from you, but I fell for you because you’re a good person.” That sort of thing.

I must confess, they had the final laugh. Cynthia informed me the last time I spoke with her, “If you stop being bitter, I will send you something small every month.” You don’t have to hate me since I don’t hate you.”

I bowed my head and kicked the bitterness out of my heart because money is money.

That girl is the only honest scammer there is. She maintained her promise. She occasionally sends me money. She’s gradually rebuilding the bridge between me and my old friend Ernest. She duped me, but I can’t really complain. I still have feelings for her but in a different manner. I adore her as someone who looks after me.

I adore my husband, but I also love my boss

I adore my husband, but I also love my boss

My spouse is fantastic. He’s a wonderful father to our children, and I adore him.

Everything went well till I saw my Boss for the first time lately. I had just recently begun working at my new workplace, therefore, I had never met the Boss in person. He was smitten with me from the moment he saw me. He knows I’m married and is fine with it.

He treats me like a lady and pays all of my bills. He pays for stuff I don’t even realise I need. I enjoy spending time with him. He makes me feel incredibly protected, and with him, the world may disappear for all I care.

He is not married and, in his own words, is eager to “be here” for me.

We are yet to have shuperu, but he kissed me last night before we split ways, and I’ve been craving his kiss all day. Not only have I been thinking about his kiss, but also about what it would be like to lay in bed with him and yield to his wishes.

I tell him how much it pains me to do this to my husband, and he says, “Don’t worry. Everything will be well. He can’t be harmed by what he doesn’t know.”

He has a knack of getting under my skin emotionally. Only my husband has been able to reach me in the same manner that my employer has, and it makes me want to keep him—keep him and keep my husband.

My spouse just refers to him as my Boss. If he finds out, he would undoubtedly break down and break up with me, therefore I’ve learnt not to leave any evidence. I’m in a state of confusion right now. Confused because my husband needs to hurt me or treat me horribly in order for me to fall in love with someone else, but in this situation, everything is perfect between us, but I still long for someone new.

I desperately need my job, therefore I don’t want to offend my employer. This is the only job I’ve ever had that pays above and above my expectations. I simply cannot afford to lose it. Aside from that, I want my employer and I need my husband. I wish there was a way for the two to coexist.

The gravity of the situation is that, since meeting my employer, shuperu with my spouse has become a responsibility for me. I make myself available to him, but I don’t feel anything. It’s similar to the fable of the brook and the stone. What effect may the stream have on the stone? Nothing. He’s doing it, and I’m thinking about my employer. I am aware that I require assistance.

Woman sues boyfriend for abandoning her after funding his extravagant lifestyle

A heartbroken lady has hauled her lover, Hassan Umar, to a Kano magistrates’ court for having dumped her after spending N900,000 on him.

In court, the woman’s counsel said that the defendant claimed he was in love with his client and that they had agreed to marry.

However, after spending the money on him, Umar abandoned her and stopped seeing her.

The defendant, on the other hand, pled not guilty to the accusations, explaining that it was merely a relationship that did not survive the test of time.

Following the reading of the charges, the Magistrate requested that both sides produce their witnesses for the next postponed session.

Addressing journalists after the court sitting, the woman said:

“I doubt he didn’t charm me. Whatever he asked me I did it instantly. I cooked different types of food for him, including chicken, meat, and even two rams.

“I spent over N900,000 on him. But from there, he started showing me as if he didn’t care. Later he stopped coming to me.”
