Found this very interesting and intriguing story
on The Sun UK . Biko, follow me read below...:-)
When her hubby of ten years had to spend
Christmas with his relatives in Nigeria, Tracy
Akingbogun hoped he’d return with a special
gift to make up for their time apart. David,
43, had sorted out a present — for himself.
He had secretly married another woman in
Nigeria on Boxing Day.
Mum-of-four Tracy only discovered the
shocking news through a friend months later
— and kicked him out. Heartbroken Tracy,
also 43, says: “While I was at home with the
kids missing him at Christmas, his present
to himself was a new bride. “I still can’t
believe he did that to us after more than ten
years together. “I did some research and
saw that the ceremony was a religious one
and not a legal one. So he hadn’t committed
bigamy. “His dad had five wives during his
lifetime, so I suppose David thought he
could do that too. “But not when he was
living in the UK and not when he was
married to me.”
Tracy, from Gravesend, Kent, adds: “This
Christmas it will be just me and the children again,
just like it was last year. But this time I’ll be over
the moon that David isn’t with us.”
Tracy was a single mum to Cameron and Alysia —
now 17 and 13 — when she met David in a
nightclub while she was on a rare night out in
March 2004.
She recalls: “I was watching a group of lads on the
pull, but one of them wasn’t. He was just leaning
against the bar enjoying himself. He saw me
watching him and came over to chat.
“His name was David and he was really kind and
gentle. He’d only arrived from Nigeria three
months before.”
David moved into Tracy’s home just six weeks
later and Tracy was delighted to discover she was
pregnant.
Their son Kayodo, now 11, was born in December
2004 and they married two months later.
Tracy says: “It was a small ceremony with a few
family and friends. David read out a poem and told
me he really believed in me and our future
together.
“From then on he called me ‘Wifey,’ his pet name
for me.”
The next year the happy family went to Nigeria to
meet David’s relatives.
Tracy says: “They were lovely to us and even went
through the traditional ceremony of washing our
feet when we arrived.”
Their second son Olalekan, now four, was born in
December 2011.
Tracy busied herself bringing up her brood while
David turned his hand to various businesses from
buying and selling cars to running a market-stall.
He also tried to set up an internet cafe.
But two years later she found messages between
David and a Nigerian woman.
Tracy says: “One read: ‘When you were last here I
wish I’d kissed you.’ I shouted at him, and wanted
him to explain himself.
“He said she was someone he used to date before
he came to the UK. He said it was nothing, they
were just friends.
“I told David it was her or me. He said it was me, I
was his wifey and that was that.
“Over the next few months he tried hard to show
he meant it and we got back to normal.”
Then David announced he would have to go to
Nigeria over the 2014 festive period. Tracy says: “I
was furious. I told him he should be here for his
sons — for our family. He kept insisting he had
important family business.”
David flew out the day before Christmas Eve and
Tracy was upset the family would be apart.
She says: “I was so angry with him, but I wasn’t
going to let the children know that.
“It was Christmas so I was going to make it a
good one.”
She messaged David, reminding him to call their
boys on Christmas morning.
Tracy says: “David finally called at 9pm. I gave him
an earful but let him speak to the children. I was
so angry with him.
“On Boxing Day I didn’t hear from him, but I spoke
to him and his family the next day and they were
all friendly and normal.”
But, on David’s return, Tracy felt something had
changed.
She says: “When he wasn’t away working he was
on his laptop. He was hardly speaking to me or
the boys. I would encourage him to spend time
with them, but he’d snap at me and say he was
busy.”
Tracytried to make her family life as happy as
possible but in May came a bolt out of the blue.
She got a message on Facebook from the partner
of one of David’s friends in Nigeria, a woman Tracy
had met when she visited.
She says: “The message read that he’d got
married to another woman on Boxing Day —
everyone knew apart from me. She didn’t think
that was right.
“The world I loved had been whipped from beneath
my feet. Tears streamed down my face. I’d known
something was up.
“I confronted David but he denied it. He seemed
so cool and calm. So I messaged her and said
there must be a mistake.”
What came next wiped away any trace of doubt
Tracy had.
Tearfully, she recalls: “She ended up sending me
photos of the wedding ceremony via WhatsApp and
confirmed it to me. There was no denying that.”
Shaking, Tracy managed to guess his Facebook
password and logged in. There, she read messages
between him and his new wife, the woman she’d
caught him messaging two years before, who was
also his ex-girlfriend.
Tracy says: “I was so angry I couldn’t speak. He
couldn’t get married — he was my husband!
“I confronted him and he tried to deny it again but
this time I told him I’d seen the photos and read
the messages. I told him to pack his bags and get
out.
“I don’t take calls from his family, as they were in
on this and went to his wedding last Boxing Day
while lying to me.
“He abandoned his children and me to get married
to another woman. He’s made his choice and now
he’s stuck with it.”
David said: “I can do what I want. It’s nobody’s
business. What do you want me to do?”
