In a revealing interview on an Ibadan-based radio station - Agidigbo FM, 36-year-old housewife named Mariam confessed that the pregnancy she is currently carrying is the result of an affair with her ex-boyfriend. During the broadcast, Mariam shifted the blame to her husband, alleging that his repeated sexual abstinence during periods of conflict drove her to seek intimacy elsewhere.
Mariam recounted her husband's pattern of withholding sex for extended periods—sometimes extending up to six months—following disagreements. She shared that she often found herself in the position of pleading for reconciliation, further deepening her frustrations.
The housewife also described her experiences with ongoing stomach pain that led her on a quest for medical solutions. After undergoing multiple tests that yielded no answers, she eventually sought out a well-equipped laboratory in Beere, all expenses paid for by her husband, who was aware of her health struggles.
When asked by the host, Oriyomi, if she believed that the lack of sexual intimacy could have contributed to her health issues, Mariam did not engage with the question directly.
She elaborated on a specific argument from late last year, wherein her husband had considered selling a property to fund a trip. Mariam warned him against this decision, recalling his previous unsuccessful attempts. The discussion escalated into a significant disagreement, prompting her husband to cut off intimacy altogether.
Feeling neglected, Mariam reached out to a former partner, Korede, which led to a renewed physical relationship and ultimately resulted in her current pregnancy, a situation that had since come to her husband's attention.
The case has sparked conversations around marital responsibilities and the impact of emotional disengagement on relationships.
