    I feel for you sister, but where were you, your elders , siblings and other relatives, when Nigerians started pouring in SA in the early 1990s. When black girls got missing and were taken by so called Nigerian brothers, according to African men ( please not SA brothers anymore, but just fellow Africans). They took girls , those girls would never be found again. And the Nigerian guys would not be found where they rented, and the story of the missing girl will stop there, and there wouldn't be any follow up and arrest. And how many times in more than 30years SA women saw these things happening in front of their face , but will still continue dating these smooth talkers. They have been told and they also know that these okes don't come to SA for employment, because they come here penniless and with no place to stay, but let them get one chance of getting SA woman, and in few days they'll have achieved place to stay in subarbs that SAns middle class don't afford. And the next step they are all over driving beautiful cars and bragging, talking lots of upsetting conversations with their home boys about SA men, and undermining everybody else including the authorities. Nigerians are not in SA for employment like Zimbabweans and other honest seekers. They want SA for everything they've never experienced, ie quality of life and SA citizenships. And to get that , they target very naive girls and women illeterates to get them that and way more including their souls. And this woman, how did she not fear a stranger like that, talking very different in language, unusual accent, and just general everything. Don't she have brothers and uncles to stop the relationship with all their might from happening in the very beginning. I'm sorry my fellow SAn , for being alone in this mess, and even the authorities throw their towels on your case, because you lost yourself in the hands of the stranger , and lost your right the day you allow bail for the deadly danger. And you finally lost your whole life to him, and your inherentant by giving him the right to your homelands and country. But he doesn't even sympathizes with you since you bless him with children. His family and relatives will never put you first before him, because he's number one, and because they got excess to our country, our wealth , and health considered life-style because of him. So the next step he's considering is to permanently end the " We " connection with you. Marriage and children is the last thing in this Nigerian man . One thing he wanted, he got it easily . And now he will move on and marry one of his own nation and tribe /culture. You have to spread news as you already has . Seek help to gain back everything you deserve, including the permission to our country through your failure / fake marriage. Contact right stations for this , that can't be discussed at this platform. This has to stop, because our country has become a pool for lots of things to these immigrants, including traveling abroad using our country as their tickets. I'm so sorry for this prolonged nightmare, but I will remember you in prayer, you deserve justice, and only God will grant you that if the earthly justice judges you harshly. Don't stop crying and letting it out in your daily prayers, and assisting verses from psalms. And don't worry you'll also get that in specific verses in your prayers. May God be with you always and may He bless you abundantly 😇🙏🇿🇦❤❤❤

    This is a classic case where urgency of Children’s needs competes with spousal love. This can so easily stifle even true love and especially so when both parents are so physically and emotionally stretched caring for 5 ‘instant’ kids. It’s not the kids nor the lack of love for each other, or even a different understanding of bringing up the kids. I pray that they will snatch some needed quiet time for themselves and each other apart from the kids, to revitalize the very obvious resident love they have for each other. Divorce can be a band aid, an emergency feel-good solution to hurt and aggravated feelings but Jesus can heal. Any spouse can so easily feel neglected and even hate themselves for being jealous, having been ousted out of their #1 position in the eyes of his or her lifetime partner. Different parenting styles aggravated but is very likely not the main cause for their divorce. Here are 2 first class human beings giving their all to help save 5 kids from tragic circumstances… and in the end being casualties themselves 🥲 BUT with God, the Bible promises…everything is possible, especially reconciliation, a new found deeper love for each other and a joyful recommitment to a better marriage. Praying for you ALL and especially Benny and Eddie❣️

There are any perfect life however, I’m very proud that the adoptive mother keeps the boys and don’t resented the innocent boys, thank God she stick around with those boys knowing what they have gone through in the beginning of their life. You show the strength of a mother.
