So yesterday, I witnessed domestic violence between a husband and his wife for the very first time in my life around my area in Ogun state.

*** Thread ***
The man apparently isn't staying with the wife anymore but he came to forcefully collect the wife's phone to find out

Something and cos he bought the phone for the wife, he met her at a shop in the area and they both started dragging each other's clothes cos the wife refused to drop the phone, there were two small girls with her and one of them started crying while she kept calling mummy. The

Other one ran home to call the wife's mother and their neighbors, they kept hitting and slapping each other but the man didn't want to be aggressive maybe cos it was in a public place or cos my friend who was with me was trying to separate them. I guess it has been happening for

A long time cos the wife said "leave him, let him continue to beat me, this isn't his first time." I wasn't too surprised that a married couple was fighting in public, at least we have heard and seen different things in the news. What bothered me was why the man wanted the phone

And why the wife wouldn't let him have it. Well he eventually took the phone and was going through it, It was not long before the little girl who ran home, came back with the wife's mother, a friend and the wife's younger sister. They were all on the guy asking him to return the

Phone, they beat him and almost ripped off his shirt, the wife now had the chance to slap him and hit him like she wanted, her sister and mother kept raining curses and insults on him. He could not hit any of them but he held on tight to the phone, it took the intervention of two

Older men in the area before he dropped the phone. Then they left him, he said he was going to the house to pack some things, the wife followed him, just before they got home, they started fighting again and he took the phone from the wife. He only stopped beating her when the

Older child who I suppose is the first child started chasing him with a bottle, he was saying "leave my mum alone, I will break this bottle on you if I see you near my mum again, leave us alone." The guy ran off with the phone to get a bike, the wife's mom and sister still wanted

To chase him but the wife told them to leave him that she already removed the sim from the phone so he can keep the phone for whatever reason he has. They kept insulting him till I left the scene, I had never witnessed something like that before, it was like I was in a movie, a

Sad one. I felt really bad for the couple cos they looked young, the union is probably not more than 10 years. Then I wondered what will become of the kids when they grow up, the young girl who was crying when the fight started and the young boy who chased the father with a

Bottle, it will take a miracle for them to believe in true love without violence when they grow up. I wonder what they will think about marriage and family when they grow up, a lot of thoughts crossed my mind. Omo e be real things!

End of thread.
