‘African culture makes it so that the Woman must take it all in’ – Blossom Chukwujekwu’s ex-wife, Maureen

In 2019, the two separated and then announced the end of their marriage and rumours started to circulate that Maureen, also known as Redvigor on Instagram, had allegedly cheated on her husband.

In her note on Instagram, she said that women are expected to take in a lot of disrespect but men, on the other hand, cannot.

She also stressed the fact that she was never a perfect wife, however, she was the best wife she could be to him. She wrote:

“Worst day today. Work Sucked Greatly. My Heart Sank too…

“Weird thing is…. by this time last year.. [laughing], exactly same date and same time, my Old man broke to me the news of my marriage being over… I remember laughing for a long time, standing up from where I sat listening to him as he tried to find the best words to convey the message to me… i put both hands in my pocket and paced the room silently as he looked at me waiting on me to say something. I pondered in my head about what I had just heard, why I was the last person to know it and how in the world we got there… [laughing]

“African culture makes it so that the Woman must take it all in, she must understand no matter what, she must be subdued, she must never complain, she must learn to live with whatever, she must forgive even when she can’t, she must show happiness even when she is depressed, she must show strength even when she is weak…. and more

“But the Man, He is allowed to NOT take s--t (even the tiniest of it) He would even be Praised for it.

“Life!!!![laughing]

“September 11th in View; I will be 33

“I am Happier
I am at Peace
I’m stronger
I’m Richer
I’m sexier
I’m Single
I’m Free

“I wasn’t Perfect, I will NEVER be… But I was His Best! Someday, I will Tell this Story… 33 in a Bit (Exactly 1month Away)”
