A courageous single mother, Blessing Paulinus, has come forward with a powerful public accusation against her ex-husband, revealing that he has abandoned their two children for nearly eleven years. She shared how she has been solely responsible for their upbringing, providing emotional, financial, and physical support without any assistance from him since their separation.
In a heartfelt and detailed Facebook post, Blessing opened up about the immense emotional strain and financial hardships she has endured over the years. She described the overwhelming responsibility of raising their children alone, managing everything from school fees to medical expenses, feeding, clothing, and all other necessary needs without any contribution from her former partner.
Blessing explained that despite her efforts to maintain some form of co-parenting, her ex-husband not only refused to be involved in their children’s lives but also vowed to make things difficult for her and her family. She recounted that after the breakdown of their marriage, she attempted to engage him in co-parenting for three years, but her efforts were met with rejection.
In a passionate and lengthy note, she wrote:
“It’s been almost 11 years of doing every single thing ALONE. Hol up! I mean, 11 solid years of doing School o, medical o, feeding o, clothes o, girls necessities and EVERY SINGLE BILL ALONE and you think I’ll go through all of that and allow myself to share the glory with that kind of irresponsible nonentity?
Someone that said ‘shebi you think you’re stubborn, you think you have family, I’ll show you and your people shege and you come and beg me before you will see my one naira.’
Someone I literally begged and cajoled to coparent for 3 years since marriage didn’t work again but refused? Make I still dey waste energy wey I for use work on myself to stay alive ontop that kind person??
Someone that was wicked enough to turn his back on his kids when the first was barely 5 and she’s 15 now but still hasn’t looked back or sent in a dime since then?
You think these men don’t know what they’re doing? Lmao! Make I come do all this finish and my pikin go dey bear your name?? I dey mahd?? Make I come share glory with deadbeat man?

‘When they grow, they will look for their father.’ No wam! Till then, but for now, Both have their nation examinations written with my name and I dey proud of myself like mahd!!!
‘Bitter single mom’? Oh yes! Marrying the tag with my full chest, so deal with it!”
Blessing’s story has resonated widely on social media, where many have expressed support and admiration for her strength and determination in the face of abandonment and hardship.
