That is not what I want to dwell on. We live in a generation where there is a lot of skewed / warped thinking cum reasoning. A generation that have sacrificed values at the altar of materialism. So I want to say, all our ‘’Slay’’ babes or is it queens? (Whatever that means), who prefer to cry in limousines, Lamborghinis, private jets, super mansions etc; I have one advice for you:
Enjoy the monies you get as ‘’compensation’’ from men that don’t treat you well, drive the cars, paint the town red, travel the world, Pepper dem, demean your competition, let them know they are not in your league, Keep up the fake outlook, even when you know you’re dying inside of you, mask it with what you want society to see.
While you’re at it, please be sure to set aside a portion of the ‘’stress-relieve’’ fund you get, for your burial expenses, just in case. Don’t leave that burden to grieving family and friends, since you choose/prefer to stand the ‘’heat in the kitchen’’ because of the monetary/material benefits that accrue to you.

When your sad story breaks out, if it does, I'll only feel bad for a moment, say a long ''eyaaaaaahhhh, then immediately flip the script to find our if the naira has gained on the dollar, when the recession would end, if Nnamdi Kanu has met his bail conditions, Buhari's state of health, new locations where hidden monies have been found, why the Oba of Lagos gave the Ooni of Ife the royal ''ela'', sympathise with Chelsea fans that feel they will win the FA Cup, argue with friends who try to register me in the Bitcoin thing, which celebrities are fighting, scold my mechanic for putting a fake China part in my car, wonder why people watch ZWorld and telemundo, why guys put snapchat ''garden'' on their head, why people go live on facebook and just make faces, saying nothing, ultimately see thank God for his Grace etc.
You see, there is so much to live for, so many distractions in Nigeria and the world, to entertain you. Why choose a path that could end up being fatal?, why walk the dark path?... WHY DIE?
If a guy (Rich or Poor) is subjecting you to deep emotional abuse and you can’t cope, please TAKE THAT WALK and SAVE YOUR LIFE. You do not have to wait till it cascades to physical abuse…Money is good, but trust me, it is not everything.
Be wise!
***Men suffer abuse too, but that is not the focus of this particular post***
