Woman asked to observe 40 days mourning for ex-husband who abandoned her and their children 20 years ago

A Nigerian woman has been asked to observe 40 days mourning for her ex-husband who passed away recently.

This comes twenty years after the said husband abandoned her and their three children to pursue another woman, and even welcomed children with her.

An Optometrist, identified as Chioma Onwuelingo, who disclosed the rather surprising event on Facebook, revealed that the woman involved is her nanny.

According to Chioma, apart from mourning her ex-husband for 40 days, the nanny’s children are expected to fund the burial because the children he had with the other woman are still young.

She wrote on Facebook:

“Our nanny came today and told me she lost her ex-husband. Emphasis on the EX.
