Your Roving Penis And Its Consequences.

Last December, I came across a tweet that gave me concern and made me go on an angry rant afterwards. I munched the initial tweet below and my responses to it in order to shed more light on this growing and bothersome trend. It is about married Nigerian men cheating on their wives with their housemaids. You may go all "ewwww, who stoops that low?", but I can tell you for free that very many men are indulging in this act. Gone are the days when it was just the illiterate men who indulged in this and bragged about it to their friends under mango trees, these days, the very educated and enlightened are equally guilty of partaking in such. 

Between that December and now, I have heard of several more of such stories and experiences from victims (wives and housemaids). and I have felt their pain, anguish and shame. Yes, it is a shameful thing to discover that your beloved educated husband is sleeping with your uncultured housemaid who you employed to help with the house chores and possibly children. This trend is actually way more rampant than we can imagine and it almost always ends tragically.

I can still recall an incident I read in the dailies in 2008 about a man who claimed he was seduced by his housemaid. His wife had absolutely no clue while they carried on the illicit affair for over a year. According to him, he offered the maid money on several occasions but she would always turn it down and state that whenever she was ready to collect money from him, she would ask him. He said she allowed him have his way with her in every imaginable and unimaginable ways possible, permitting him to use all manners of items on her during intercourse. Some of the items included his vibrating phone, his feet, his horsewhip, etc.  -_-

Then one day, she said she was leaving the job and gave them a notice of a few weeks. They cajoled her to stay but she was adamant and intent on leaving. She walked up to the randy man one day and asked him for a million Naira! Just like that. He was taken aback and he laughed it off, thinking she was joking. He gave her some money, about N50,000 and she rejected it, weeping profusely at his refusal to hold up his end of the bargain and how he's used her unrepentantly during the period of time. She wanted a million or nothing and his refusal to comply made her threaten and swear but he just laughed it off as empty threats.

A few days before the date she was meant to travel back to where she had come from, our cunning and philandering Romeo got a distress call from one of his neighbours. He rushed home and discovered that the maid had turned on the boiler, filled a bathtub with scalding water and then sat his only child, a four-year-old girl in it. She then locked the doors and absconded, never to be seen again (as at press time then). The little girl's cries alerted the neighbours but the damage had been done. He was devastated beyond belief  and had to own up to the devious role he played in ruining his child's life and thus his marriage.

That story has never left me since I read it many years ago and to now find out that such atrocities are still being committed is really disappointing and frightening for me. Even worse are the wives that realize their husbands' indiscretions, yet turn a blind eye but rather take it out on the housemaid. The point of this post is to inform the women, especially the working class ones, that they need to keep an eye out constantly in case such acts are being committed right under their noses. It is also to enlighten men on the effect their thrill-seeking pleasure can have on the innocent victims (wife and children).

Enough has been said. If you currently engage in such affairs, it is in your best interest to desist from such. And if you have a friend or relative who does same, you might want to share this post with them. Every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.
