A Kenyan woman named Josephine Achary Akongo has told how her ex-husband’s parents kicked her out because she had no children.

Josephine, who is from Ahero Kisumu County, Nyando Sub County, opened up about her ordeal in a recent interview with Standard Media.

According to her, she was kicked out of the house because she couldn’t conceive for her husband, and he married a second wife in 2014. Unfortunately, his second wife has not been able to have children since they got married nine years ago.

Josephine went on to reveal that she had a child while she was still in school and before marrying her ex-husband.

“I didn’t find it easy after realizing that I was pregnant. It was funny because some visitors came to our place to bring dowry for my cousin, and as girls, we were invited to entertain them. That’s how I got involved with a guy for just one night, and that’s how I conceived. Unfortunately, the guy disappeared afterward,” she said.

“I learned in day school, but I spent most of my time outside the school due to frequent illness. Eventually, my mother discovered what was happening and she was constantly reminding me of how I had wasted her hard-earned money.

“In school, students disapproved of me and often laughed at me. During that time, getting pregnant was considered taboo. However, despite being in Form Four, I persevered and managed to sit my national exams, though I didn’t perform as well as expected. It was far from an easy experience,”

“I met my first husband in our estate in Kisumu, and we began courting. However, our courtship didn’t last for even a year before we started cohabiting. I went to visit him at his workplace in Eldoret, at Keiyo South Constituency, and I never returned home because he told me we were now living as husband and wife. I informed my family, and he informed his, and we started our life together as a couple,”

Speaking on how her husband and in-laws responded to her inability to have a child, she said,

“My mother-in-law didn’t like me from the very first day. Despite this, everything seemed to be going well after we got married in January 2006, until 2013 when I decided to stay at my in-laws’ home,”

“My husband had started working in Migori, not far from our home. The struggle of not being able to have a child began immediately after moving in with my mother-in-law in the same compound.

“I tried to ignore their comments and advice, but they persisted and eventually urged their son to marry another woman and have children of his own. He secretly married another woman, and when I found out and confronted him, he blatantly told me that he wanted children who would inherit his modest wealth. The fight continued as he lived with his second wife at his workplace while I lived alone at home.

“He neither came home nor sent money. One day, his father called me and demanded that I leave their compound. I stood my ground, reminding him that it was his son who brought me there, and therefore, he should be the one to chase me away. After some arrangements, my husband and his second wife came and told me to leave immediately. I packed my belongings and my daughter and left peacefully.

The mother-of-one said she suffered greatly after being thrown out of her husband’s home.

“Initially, I struggled without a reliable source of income, especially with a daughter to take care of, considering she was in a private school. My daughter excelled in her KCPE exams and received a sponsorship from Equity. Fortunately, she also passed her Form Four exams with a clean A and secured a place at Nairobi University, still under the Equity scholarship. Before joining campus, Equity provided her with an opportunity to work at their banks, which enabled her to earn a good income and support us.”

According to Josephine, her ex-husband, and in-laws now want her back after seeing her daughter’s academic success.

“My ex-husband and his family want us to reconcile because things haven’t been going well for him since I left. They have started to see the success my daughter and I have achieved despite the challenges we faced. They realize that their initial doubts about my daughter’s education due to financial constraints were unfounded, as she is now nearing completion of her studies at the university. Interestingly, my ex-husband has been unable to have any children with the second wife he married in 2014.”

Speaking on what she learned from this ordeal, she said:

“I want people to understand that patience pays off and that one shouldn’t destroy their marriage solely because of the inability to conceive. God’s timing is always the best. Additionally, women should strive to work hard and be responsible.”

A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions among internet users after she shared her unique love story on her social media page.

In a video she shared on social media, which has since gone viral, the lady opened up about how her relationship with her husband began.

She revealed that she started off as his side chick while he was dating another woman. But within two years, her position changed.

According to her, when she met her husband in 2018, she made the decision to stay and not let go, despite his relationship with another woman.

She proudly explained that she “stole” his love and eventually conquered it completely, leading to their marriage in 2020.

She celebrated 6 years of romantic relationship with her partner and noted that he hasn’t changed and has remained the gentle and loving man she fell in love with.

“2023:And here we are my darling..It feels really good to call you my husband it’s been 6 years with you and you’ve never changed a bit..you’ve remained that sweet and loving man I’ve always known..No wonder I couldn’t let go. I fought for you and I won”. She wrote in part.

An elderly Kenyan woman, Theresa Nyirakajumba, has revealed that she is still a virgin and has never had sex with a man.

In a recent interview with Afrimax, Theresa Nyirakajumba, who released a video of her ID card to show she is 123, gave an insight into her private life.

She said she turned down several suitors when she was young because she wasn’t ready to settle down. She said she was also looking for the right man to share a special bond with, but couldn’t find one.

Unfortunately, by the time she was ready to marry, she was already too old to attract male attention and had stopped receiving marriage proposals.

According to Theresa, who lives in a run-down house, if she had been sexually intimate with a man in her youth, she could have had children.

However, she said she still hopes to find a male companion at 123 because she is tired of living a lonely and boring life.

In her words,

“I never had a husband in my entire life. Yes of course I am still a virgin.. I would think of it during my era but I won’t take myself to any husband.”

“My name is Theresa Nyirakajumba. I have never seen the nakedness of a man. For 123 years, I live with an unfulfilled desire, a deviant hope and a courageous spirit of waiting that one day a man will emerge and embrace my soul.”

“At the moment, you can help me and bring me a man. When I was young I didn’t want to associate with men and that prevented me from any potential relationship. I never developed love for any man.”
