I cried, begged, attempted su!cide and nothing changed – Divorced Nigerian woman writes as she marks what would have been her 19th wedding anniversary

A Nigerian woman, Aisha Wakaso, has marked what would have been her 19th wedding anniversary.

Taking to Facebook on February 3, 2025, Aisha revealed that she left her marriage 17 years ago after putting in effort to make it work.

According to her, she cried, begged and even attempted su!cide but nothing changed. 

She noted that leaving her marriage was difficult but it remains the best decision she ever made. 

“Today would have been my 19th wedding anniversary. I left 17 years ago. Looking back today, it remains the best decision I ever made. When you have tried everything (cried, begged and even attempted suicide) and nothing changes, don’t let anyone deceive you. Yes, it is difficult, but leaving is not failure. It is for your emotional wellbeing, your children, and your life. Forever is too long to live in misery. (Unapologetically a divorcee.),” she wrote.
