SHE Kept On PAYING Her HUSBAND’S Debts,Then This HAPPENED!!! #STORY #FOLKLORE #AFRICANSTORY #tales – Ty

Many years ago in the busy city of Lagos, there lived a woman named Amara. She was loved by almost everyone. Amara has a croin line in Surule and it was one of the most popular business in the area because she was really patronized and she was really good at her job. People call her Madame A and they would always refer her as a woman that is blessed because anytime you come to her store to buy clothes, her smile can even sell clothes for you, she knows how to treat her customers well, smiling and always kind with her

words. But the truth was, Amara’s life was not as perfect as it looked. She was married to Chik, a very tall, handsome man with a sweet voice. Chik had a way of making everyone like him. If Chica walked inside a room, people will first greet him before anyone else. Because he looked like a complete gentleman with no issues and they believed that Chik was a scent.

thought it was only Amara, his wife, that knows who truly her husband is. From the early years of their marriage, Chik had a problem. He likes to borrow and the Boro started small. He would go to Amara shop and tell her, “Babe, can you borrow me 50,000 NRA, please? I will return it.” Amara being the good wife will borrow him the 50,000.

But when it’s time to return the money, stories upon stories upon stories, that is what Ch would be giving Amara. At the end of the day, Chik will never return that money. Amara being a very successful woman, she would just forget about it. Then one fateful evening, Chica came back and told Amara that something important came up.

Babe Omo, I need to pay someone quickly. Oh, you know that thing I told you about last week. It’s time to pay up and I’ll replace the money next week. You know now my business is slow. I will definitely give you the money. Okay. Amara helped him. She believed that Chik is her husband and if she does not help him, who will help him? Even that money too, Chik did not return it.

When Amara asked of it, he would give all the good excuses that will make Amara to forget about the money. But as the years passed, Chik’s problem grew bigger. Every blessed week, Chik will collect money from Amara for one depth or the other. And there was one time he lied that his business still gone wrong and he lost a lot of money.

Amara still helped him out with some cash. Then one fateful day, a man came to their gate and started banging the gate with anger. GK, pay me my money now before I deal with you. Is it because I’ve not called police? When Amara heard what was going on outside, she quickly ran outside and started begging and pleading with the man. Sir, calm down, please.

I will handle it. What is the problem? Oh, so you are the beautiful wife to that Boro Boro man. Eh, what did you even see inside that man that made you to marry him? Do you know that your husband borrowed money from me and he promised that he’s going to bring it back in 2 weeks? This is exactly 3 months and I’ve not seen shake from him.

Is this how you cope in your home? Huh? Omar, you women are trying. You know, please tell your husband to bring out my money right now or the next place I’m going to is the police. Am I trying to calm the man down? I told you I will handle it. Just tell me how much did my husband borrow from you? Your husband borrowed a whooping 200,000 from me and he said he will repay.

Now I am now pursuing him like fly. He’s now running away anytime he sees me. He stopped coming to my shop just because he’s owing me. He better pay me back because I need the money urgently. Amara told the man to calm down that she’s coming. She now entered inside her room, opened one of her safe, brought out 200,000, came out and gave the man. That was how that one solved.

That day, Amara asked TK what he used a whooping 200,000 to do and why would the man come here to come and be embarrassing him. TK started with his blackmail again. Bab, it was that business that gone wrong. I don’t know how to tell you that the man was also involved. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I promise it will never happen again.

Amara swallowed that one and continue what she was doing before the man came and start banging on the door that day. But one thing Chica did not know was that Amara too is running out of patience because the loan and the debt she’s paying is draining her business too. Sometimes she would have to sell her best clothes from the shop just to raise the cash.

She will sell it any anyhow so that she will raise some money that her husband is in deep trouble because of money. And she kept on deceiving herself. That’s just the worst part. I am protecting my marriage. I am protecting my name and my husband’s name. I don’t want people to know what is going on. And I’ll keep doing that. After all, he’s my loving husband.

Is he at church? People admired Amara and Chica. Oh, you guys are the perfect couple. Ch will be smiling like a fool and Amara will always compliment. Thank you. We thank God though. It’s God that is doing it though. But no one knew the stress Amara was really going through. But Chick’s behavior got worse. No matter how Amara complained, he never changed.

One day Amara was in her shop arranging some clothes when one woman bashed in crying. Her eye were really red from crying. Amar asked her what the problem is and the woman started. See madam I know you are Chik’s wife. Do you know that your husband collected goods from me on credit and he promised to pay back in 2 weeks? It has been over 5 months now.

What is going on? Eh, Amara was shocked over 5 months. Yes. He kept on promising that he will pay back. He will pay back. His business is doing this. His business is doing that. But I’m not seeing anything. Ma, I need my money. I come to my shop. My shop is totally dry. I have nothing left. And he refused to pay me. Please, I need my money.

And Mara then asked the woman, “Please, how much goods did my husband take from your shop? And what do you even sell?” I’m into baby. So he came and packed a lot of children we bought from me and it amounted to over 400,000 and since then your husband disappeared. He think I will not find him. So I need my money please. Amara was still in shock.

Over 400 what? Children’s clothes. When did GK start selling children’s clothes? I don’t understand me. I don’t know. What I know is that he collected goods worth 400,000 in my shop and I need my money right now. You can go and ask him when he started selling children clothes. I don’t know about that. Amara then assured the woman that she would sort it out and she will have to pay twice.

The woman disagreed and started shouting that she’s going to create a scene that she needs her money complete. Amara then told her that if she wants to prove stubborn, she will walk out of her shop. After all, she isn’t the one that is owing her. It’s either she collect 200,000 and collect the remaining balance the next month or she will walk out.

When the woman saw that Amara was really serious and she isn’t smiling, she had to agree to the things. Amala had to go and remove money from her savings and give to the woman and then promise that she will pay the remaining balance the next month. That was how that sorted out. But Amara was so angry because that was the height of it. That day immediately the whole scenario ended.

Amara packed up her things and left. She went home and when she got home was already at home busy pressing his phone and laughing. When Amara walked in and sat beside him, see Ch, we need to talk. Oh, because it’s like this is getting too far. You need to stop this. Why would a woman badge into my my my office and tell me that you you are owing her over 400,000 because you bought something with baby? I don’t understand which baby are we talking about? Because I know that we don’t have any toddler in this house.

What did you do with the goods that you bought? Chica was really caught on her way. He was shocked. Did she come to your shop? Hey, I am so sorry. Oh, I didn’t know that she will come there to come and embarrass you. Ch my wife, I am sorry. I did not mean to do all of this. I do not mean to. You know that my friend Emma he said I I should try business line children business line and and see how it goes.

That was how I went to the woman. I told her I explained everything and she agreed I should carry the goods in in credit and bring money into it. So that was how I carried it as I I did the business for a while. It wasn’t going it wasn’t going as I want. So I said that he would sell the remaining market.

So I left it in hand as I’m speaking to you. Her market is still in the m shop. We have not even sold it. Chai, I’m so sorry. I told her to calm down. I will sell the the the remaining one anyhow. anyhow and pay her. Amara then calm down. Okay. If this is the problem, always discuss with me now before you start up all of this.

I’ve given her 200,000 and I told her to come and collect the remaining balance last month. Make sure that you go and sell the remaining things and go and pay her back her balance. I don’t want any trouble. Chick agreed. Ah, my loving wife. God, we bless you. What would I do without you? You are the apple of my eye. Ch praised and praised her and Amara had no choice than to succumb and started smiling and that was how they settled it.

Ch even went as far as hugging her and kissing her forehead just that her anger will melt and turn into love and he succeeded in doing that. Did chicken stop his stupid habit of buru? No, he didn’t. Because as months turned into years, Amara continued to clean up Chick’s mess. She used her business profit to pay his debt. She even went as far as speaking to people angrily so that they won’t take him to court.

She lied to her own family, telling them that Chick’s business was doing well anytime they asked. But in her heart, Amara knew she was tired. Every time she thought of stopping, she would imagine people gossiping and she knew that if she takes up the matter, maybe her marriage will tear apart. She has her own fears and she doesn’t want that kind of shame with her and Mara is now a divorcee or she left her husband’s house or this or that.

She doesn’t want to lose the man. She had loved ever since she was 22 years old. JK was her first love. So she does not want anything that will jeopotize their marriage. So she kept quiet and she kept paying all the bra that chicken is ringing on her head. She kept on covering for his lies and chicken was busy enjoying the fact that he has a wife who paid for all his debt.

So why would he do anything? He just sit at home and does nothing. One rainy evening, Chica came back home smiling like someone that won jackpot. And I asked him, “H babe, this one you smiling. I hope all is well.” And Chica was all over the place. My beautiful wife, all is well. Hello. I just got a big deal. See this one.

It will change our life. Amar was so happy. Hey, are you sure? Yes. Trust me. By next month we’ll be swimming in money. Amara smiled. But Kik what is this business deal that will make us to be swimming in money? You have never discussed that with me. Kik told her not to worry that the deal is still coming up by the time we finalize.

Ah, you will see everything in motion. Don’t worry. Amara had a little faith at least. Maybe she will stop paying all the business that is on her head. But three weeks after Chica told her about the big deal, something strange started to happen. Chik cultivated the habit of coming home late. Sometimes Amara were working on him answering call in the corridor and he would be whispering so that she won’t hear what he was discussing.

And some nights chicken will not even come back home at all. Then the day Amar walked in on him answering call in the corridor. Amara asked him who he was talking to. He claimed he was talking to a business partner and he does not want to wake her up. Amara then asked him why he’s now coming back home late because it is unlike him.

What happened? Chick assured her that everything is under control. That is the business partner. So they are dragging him from here to here. So because of that he doesn’t have a choice than to you know follow them with the flow so that he won’t lose their their business deal. Amara still foolishly believed him. Then one Sunday after church pastor called Amara aside.

Ah sister Amara. Pastor called her smiling very boldly. H please tell your husband thank you eh help me and thank him so much. Even he promised the youth group. It will really help. We’re expecting him to you know fulfill his promise of bringing the loan. We have already arranged what we are going to use the loan to do. Amara was shocked.

Loan care. No pastor, it’s impossible. I’ve never heard about any loan. Uhhuh. It’s not possible. Eh, TK told us that it was even you that will bring the check. Eh, he told her that the two of you will do the the contribution, but the check will come from you. He told us everything and he said that the two of you have discussed and I had to pretend that she forgot. Oh. Oh, that.

Oh, now I remember. Okay, pastor. Oh, no problem. Okay, we will do our best. Don’t worry. When we get home, we’ll discuss and know how to go about it. As she got home that Sunday, she waited for Chick in the sitting room. She was really angry. When Chick walked in, Amara didn’t even greet him. Yeah, this man.

What is your problem, sir? What is the color of your problem? What is this thing I’m hearing about loan in the church? What is the pastor talking about? Why did he pull me over and talking about one loan that you promise? What is he talking about? Can you explain? Chick, please go straight to the point. Chick started to laugh.

Huh? My baby, calm down. Relax. It’s just a small thing. I will pay you back. You know I always handle these things. Chick, you used my name. The pastor think that the money is coming from me. But babe, what does it matter now? You’re my wife. Your name is my name. Is it not the same? Your name is my name.

So, it’s no longer the man’s name is the wife’s name. Now, my own name is your name. Abby, are you confusing each other? Amara wanted to argue but Ch the smooth talker with his gentle eyes came closer to her started kissing her and that was how the discussion ended. Two weeks later after the church issue that was when ch another trouble that landed Amara in a very big mess.

This time around it was a young man that just returned from abroad. Chica told this man about his wife business because Amara’s business is a very trending one on social media. Her business is trending. Even outside social media, her clothing line is very popular. So because of that influence, Chik was able to use it to scam a man 10 million NRA and he told the man that he will use the money, put it in his wife business and he will get double the money in 3 months.

The man trusted him all because he used his wife’s name, Amara. Amara was actually a very respected businesswoman in Lagos. Amar didn’t know all of these things. Ch continued to lie to this man and that was how he scammed him of 10 whooping millionaire. But unfortunately for CH this time around his victim were just not anybody.

The man in question was the son of a retired military general. When the young man realized that he has been tricked because three months passed and the doubled of the money that he was supposed to get did not come up, he asked Chave value for the money and Ch was giving him all the story in this world. The man now told him to return the 10 million naira and did not bother putting any profit on top.

Yet Chik could not bring out the 10 million naira. It was then the man knew that Chik had just scammed him. The man did not bother exchanging words or threatening Chik on the phone. He kept quiet. He didn’t argue with him. He only told Chry that he will pay him, right? CH said yes. Said no problem. Two of us will see very soon.

And that was the only words he dropped. That week, the retired general himself went to anti-fraud police. He gave them every detail about Chik and instructed them to make Chik a very good example to people that like scamming others because Chick had been using Amar’s name in almost every deal. Amar’s name was also on the list of the people that will be dealt with.

Unfortunately for her, that same week, it was Amara’s 35th birthday. The house was full of friends, music, and all the enjoyment that was going on. She had prepared that birthday as the best birthday of her life. She got one of the best designer clothes and her makeup was perfect from head to toe.

She was so happy. Not until the siren came at the celebration ground. Before anyone could talk or act anything, four police van stopped in front of their house. The policemen marched into the compound shouting, “Who is Amar? Who is Mrs. Amarach?” And they instructed the DJ to turn down the music. All eyes turned to Amara.

Amara came forward. Yes, I am. I am Amara. Before Amara could finish saying her name, one officer stepped forward. You are under arrest for aiding and betting fraud and money launder. Amara was confused. She then turned to Chik. With the way Chik was frozen and his hand was shaking, she knew it was her husband.

Then another officer grabbed Chik. You two you are under arrest for multiple counts of fraud. Guest shattered. Ha. Some of them brought out phone and started videoing. People started gossiping. Ah, I knew something was off about them. So this is where all the money they have been lavishing came from. E. As they dragged Amara to the van, she saw neighbor peeping from the window. Her gold dress no longer shine.

It felt heavy. In fact, e it was as if Amara was wearing shame all over her. She did not in her life think that she will be embarrassed in such a manner. As she got to the police station that day. She could not reach any of her family members. Because of that, Amara had to spend time in the police cell.

As they locked her up in one of the cell, Amara could not believe that someone like her could be inside the prison sitting on a cold floor and a dirty environment. Her mind was just spinning. How did I get here? Ah, my parents warned me about chick but I couldn’t listen. One of my best friend even told me that this guy is too smooth.

This kind of people they are too smooth. They are con artist but I did not listen. Now I’ve been doing everything to hide my husband’s shame. I never knew that this shame will bring me to this kind of embarrassment. Public embarrassment. Ah chicken. It will not be well with you. Amara had to spend one whole week in the police cell before she was able to get to her family.

That was how the father and the mother rushed and released her. When she was released, her parents had to take her home because the house she built with her own money was taken over by the general. All because of the 10 million naira she was owing. They told her until the loan is paid off with interest, that is the only time the house will be released to her.

Amara was not even on the right frame of mind to fight anybody. She had to go to her parents’ house. And when she got there, two nights after, she received a call from an unknown number. And the person told her that she has an information about her husband. She should meet her up in a restaurant. Amara thought maybe Chick again is trying to play prank.

Or better still, one of the persons that he’s owing is trying to come and arrest her again, she refused going. But when her mother told her that she would accompany her, that was when Amara agreed to go and meet the person since it’s something related to the husband. When Amara and her mother got the restaurant, they met a very pretty young lady.

As they sat to talk, the lady told them, “I am here to tell you things maybe you do not know about your husband, but I think it’s the right time for you to know. Are you aware that your husband Ch is married to my sister too?” Amir was confused. Married to your sister as in how is that possible? Well, I want you to know that my sister is married to your husband and they have two children.

But the thing is that my sister does not stay in Nigeria. She lives in Ghana. And your husband comes there frequently, maybe once in a month, I’m sorry, or sometimes twice in a month. He visits and I’ve always seen him because I stay with them. When the news of your husband’s arrest got all through the whole social media and your name was mentioned, my sister was shocked because she doesn’t even know that the man she got married to also has a wife, which turns out to be you.

So instead of her having this information, I decided to come back all the way from Ghana to come and tell you myself that your husband is also married to my sister. So you should know your stand that your husband also has mistress because from the look of things you seems to be the first wife and my sister seems to be the mistress.

The house in Ghana it was your husband that built it. He pays my sister monthly salary. Please do I don’t know whether this will cause a rift or your marriage have ended. My sister said I should make sure I come here and tell you everything. She did not know so that it will not be as if she’s tearing another man’s marriage and cost will be placed on her own children.

It was then Mara’s head went blank. She thought of all the loans, the endless debt she kept on paying the lie. I am traveling for work. I’ll be back in the next 3 days. So it was the second wife that Chick was always going to see the late nights the the the call that he will be making and be whispering.

Ah Amara shed hot tears that day inside the restaurant. God what have I done to deserve this? King a good wife. Is he a bad thing these days? Amara just stood up from that restaurant and walked away with her mother. She didn’t even say anything else to the woman. One month after Amara was released, she received a call and the call came from CH’s lawyer and he told Amara that he wants to see her.

Amara refused to see her, but the man insisted that it was urgent and important they do so. If not, she might lose her husband. Amara decided to give the man a listening ear and invited him over to her parents’ house because that is where she’s still staying. She had not been able to pay off over 20 million naira loan that was on her head so that she could claim her house back.

She still stayed in her parents house and that was where the lawyer came. When the lawyer arrived, Amara asked him what he wanted to talk about. And the lawyer started, “Your husband need your help. He needs to be bailed out.” They said that the only money they will use to bail him out is 5 million naira and after that he will have to pay over 20 million naira so that you two can claim your house back and go back to the way life used to be.

The 5 million naira your husband could not come up with it. So he sent me to you so that he will help out and clear the money so that he will be released. Your husband is suffering in jail. If you see him now, he has really slimmed down and he’s asking why you have not come to visit him after he left. He know he messed up but he’s sorry right now.

What we need to be fighting is his life and how we can be able to, you know, get him out of that place since the the the man that locked him up wants to drop the case. Please, let’s get him out before it will turn to another thing. Amara started to laugh e and she get who out in man that made me sleep in that dirty environment for a whole one week.

I should do what? I should bail him out with 5 million. 5 million from where? Let me even know where would the 5 million come from. My house is being locked up. That house is under my name. I built it with my hard work. That same man that you said I should come and bail ruined my reputation. It will take a while before my reputation will come back.

People have stopped patronizing my brand. All because of a silly mistake. He ruined my own life, not the other way around. If he does not have 5 million to bail himself or as a lawyer, you can run around and get the money for him. After all, he knows how to borrow. Let him call the people that is borrowing so that they will help him and clear the money because me, I will not bring a dime.

And even if my parents want to help out, I will never allow them do so. CK is a betrayal. And you see that prison, that is where he will stay and die. Tell him to get ready. I am divorcing his ass off. He’s a very wicked, manipulative and very very selfish human being. He ruined me, married another woman behind my back and had children.

He told me he doesn’t bother. He’s not even bother whether we have children or not. Oh, that was the reason why I Oh, go and tell him I have woken up from the sleep, that slumber. I have woken up and this thing we call marriage is over. I am no longer interested. The bride price he paid will be returned and I will serve him divorce papers inside that jail.

He will sign them by fire by force. As far as I’m concerned, this marriage is over. Please, Mr. Baristera or be lawyer waiting is your name. Sign up and leave. The lawyer was shocked. Amara walked him out angrily and told him to make sure he gives Chik all the information that she just dropped. Few days later after the lawyer came, Amira heard that miraculously Chik came out of prison.

Immediately she heard that she knew that her husband still have money which means Ch would have to pay the 20 million naira fine that is placed on her house before she could get her house back. Amara had to contact her lawyer and afterwards Chik was arrested again. Amara charged him to court that he used his name in a devious way and use it to scam people.

with that she has a case. When Ch finally met Amara at the police station, he was begging, “Why would you arrest me? My love, please. Now, this is not how we wanted.” Amara did not even allow him to finish talking. GK, if you don’t want to spend the rest of your days in this police station because it’s like this sale is your calling, you will have to pay off the 20 million naira fine on my house.

That is the only way I would let you go off. That is the only way I will drop the charges that was placed on you. After so many back and forths for almost 1 month, Chuccumb and somehow somehow 20 million naira came out of this man pocket and immediately Amara received the money. She used it and clear off the general, the military general’s son, and took back her house.

And afterwards, she divorced Chick and made sure that he left with nothing, not even a pin. Amar made sure that she stripped him of everything she bought, the car, the clothes, in fact, down to the boxers that Chick was wearing. and Mara made sure she collected everything. She told him that the favor that she’s doing to him is for him to go to his wife in Ghana and continue his life there.

After all, he had the mind to use her hard earned money to go and build house for someone else. Unfortunately for Chik, nothing was left with him. The 20 million NRA he used to bail himself out of the police station was the last money left in his bank account and his freedom was better than being in the police station. When he returned to Ghana where his second family is.

Unfortunately for him too, they have also moved out of the house he built and the woman sold the house and moved out. Chica does not know where the woman is. He has tried so hard to contact her but no way. With this he was stranded and was forced to face the reality of life. Chica had to start living on the street just to feed himself.

Ordinary feed himself. He could not afford. He was reduced to nothing. Amara moved on with her life, got married to another man, and started making babies as she’s supposed to. I hope Chik got what he deserved. The camera, was he really worth it, or does he deserve a real prison time? What do you guys think, besties?
