“I Cheated Because I’m Human Too” — Divorced Restaurant Owner Accuses Ex-Husband of Sleeping With Over 16 Women
“I Cheated Because I’m Human Too” — Divorced Restaurant Owner Accuses Ex-Husband of Sleeping With Over 16 Women
A divorced restaurant owner has ignited heated discussions on social media after publicly accusing her former husband of having affairs with more than 16 women during their relationship, alleging that two of the women became pregnant for him.
The woman, whose Facebook post has attracted considerable attention, also admitted that she eventually cheated on her husband, insisting that she was not prepared to shoulder all the blame for the collapse of their marriage.
In a bold defence of her actions, she declared: “Yes, I cheated because I’m human too,” questioning why her own infidelity appeared to attract condemnation while her former husband’s alleged relationships with multiple women were being overlooked.
According to her account, the former couple met in 2019, and she claimed to have remained faithful during the early years of their relationship.
However, she alleged that things took a different turn in 2023 when she began uncovering what she described as repeated acts of infidelity by her husband.
The restaurant owner claimed that her former husband was involved with more than 16 women during their marriage. She further alleged that two of the women became pregnant for him, describing the discoveries as deeply painful and emotionally devastating.
The allegations, if established, point to the extent of the marital difficulties she says she endured before the relationship eventually collapsed.
Explaining how she eventually became involved with another person, the woman suggested that her decision was influenced by the emotional pain and betrayal she experienced over her husband’s alleged affairs.
She questioned the apparent double standards in how society judges men and women over marital infidelity, arguing that she should not be singled out for condemnation without considering the circumstances surrounding her marriage.
Her declaration, “I cheated because I’m human too,” has become a major talking point among social media users, with many debating whether repeated betrayal can explain, although not necessarily justify, a partner’s decision to retaliate through infidelity.
The revelation has also reopened conversations about trust, forgiveness, revenge, marital responsibility and the emotional consequences of unfaithfulness.
While some commenters have sympathised with the woman, arguing that nobody should be expected to endure repeated betrayal in a marriage, others have maintained that cheating remains wrong regardless of which partner commits it.
Others have questioned whether responding to infidelity with another affair only deepens the damage and makes reconciliation more difficult.
The controversy has also highlighted the different standards sometimes applied to men and women when allegations of extramarital relationships emerge.
As discussions continue, neither the former husband nor the women allegedly involved in the reported affairs have publicly responded to the accusations.
For now, the claims remain the restaurant owner’s account of what she says happened in her marriage, with no independent confirmation of the allegations.

Bandits Collect ₦56m Ransom, Three Phones Before Returning Abducted Kaduna Farmer’s Corpse
Bandits Collect ₦56m Ransom, Three Phones Before Returning Abducted Kaduna Farmer’s Corpse
KADUNA, Nigeria — Residents have been thrown into mourning and outrage after armed bandits reportedly collected a staggering ₦56 million ransom before handing over the lifeless body of an abducted farmer, Ibrahim Kadafa, popularly known as Ibro or K9, to his family.
The tragic incident occurred along the Kaduna-Abuja highway corridor, where Kadafa and his friend, Mustapha Shelpidi, were reportedly kidnapped while harvesting soybeans on a farm about two weeks ago.
According to accounts from family sources, Kadafa sustained a gunshot injury to his leg while attempting to escape during the attack.
Rather than receiving medical attention, the abducted farmer was allegedly left without treatment throughout his captivity, as his family struggled to negotiate his release.
After weeks of negotiations and efforts to raise the money, the family reportedly met the kidnappers’ demands, paying ₦56 million in ransom, alongside three brand-new Samsung mobile phones and ₦20,000 worth of airtime.
However, what the family had hoped would be a joyful reunion turned into an unimaginable tragedy on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
When relatives arrived at the agreed location to receive Kadafa, the bandits reportedly handed them his corpse instead of the living man they had spent millions of naira trying to rescue.

The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, although relatives suspect that complications arising from the untreated gunshot wound may have contributed to his death while in captivity.
Meanwhile, the fate of his friend and fellow abductee, Mustapha Shelpidi, remains unknown, raising further concerns about his safety and the possibility that he is still being held by the kidnappers.
Friends and associates of the deceased have continued to express grief over the incident, describing Kadafa as a dependable friend, responsible family member and respected figure in his community.
One of his grieving associates recalled how the late farmer regularly sought his advice on important personal decisions, describing their relationship as that of brothers.
“He was someone who believed in me enough to seek my advice whenever he needed to make important decisions. He was my brother and friend. This is wrong, in all shades,” the associate lamented.
Kadafa was reportedly the first son of his mother, who is now left to mourn his death, while several of his siblings reside in Abuja.
His killing has renewed concerns over the worsening security situation along the Kaduna-Abuja highway and surrounding rural communities, where farmers, travellers and other residents remain vulnerable to attacks and abductions.
The incident has also raised fresh questions about the effectiveness of security operations in the area, particularly as kidnapping victims and their families continue to face devastating consequences despite paying huge sums to secure their freedom.
As of the time of filing this report, security agencies had yet to issue an official statement on Kadafa’s death or provide details about efforts to rescue Shelpidi.
The family and community are now left mourning a man whose relatives reportedly paid millions of naira in the hope of bringing him home alive.

I Caught My Husband in Our Matrimonial Bed With Another Woman, Waited for Them to Finish – Wife
KUMASI, GHANA — A woman has sparked widespread reactions after recounting how she caught her husband allegedly having an affair with another woman in their matrimonial bedroom but chose to wait until they were done before confronting him.
The woman made the revelation during an interview on Nhyira 104.5 FM, where she narrated the shocking experience and her unusual reaction to discovering her husband’s alleged infidelity.
According to her account, she returned home unexpectedly and discovered that her husband was in their bedroom with another woman.
Rather than immediately confronting the pair, creating a scene or attempting to force her way into the room, she decided to remain calm and wait for them to finish.
“I caught my husband in our bed with another woman, so I waited for them to finish,” she reportedly told the programme’s presenters.
Her revelation has since generated considerable attention on social media, with clips from the interview circulating across various online platforms and triggering heated discussions about marriage, betrayal and relationships.
The woman’s unusual decision to wait instead of immediately confronting her husband has particularly divided social media users.

Some commentators expressed admiration for her composure, arguing that she demonstrated remarkable self-control in a situation that could easily have resulted in a heated confrontation.
Others, however, questioned how she managed to remain calm after discovering such an intimate betrayal, with some suggesting that the shock of the discovery might have left her temporarily speechless.
Some social media users also wondered what happened after the couple allegedly finished, particularly how the woman confronted her husband and what explanation he offered for the incident.
Others turned the story into a broader discussion about the importance of faithfulness and respect in marriage, insisting that no spouse should have to endure the humiliation of discovering an affair in their matrimonial home.
The account also attracted humorous reactions from some online commentators, who described the woman’s patience as extraordinary, while others said they would have reacted very differently if they had found themselves in a similar situation.
However, the circumstances surrounding the alleged affair, including the identity of the other woman and what happened after the discovery, have not been independently established.
As the interview continues to circulate online, the woman’s account has added another chapter to ongoing social media conversations about marital infidelity, trust, emotional control and the painful consequences of betrayal.
