A Nigerian woman, Umeozor Chinwe Stephanie, has opened up about the physical and emotional abuse she says she suffered during her marriage.
Stephanie shared her story in a Facebook post on August 20, 2026, where she recalled an incident in which she alleged that her husband repeatedly punched her about six weeks after she gave birth.
She also shared photos from the alleged incident and said years of keeping painful emotions inside can affect a woman’s appearance, health and overall well-being.
According to Stephanie, she was also accused of using charms to make her former husband marry her before she was allegedly thrown out of the home.
She explained that speaking publicly about her experience is part of her healing process.
Stephanie said she cannot currently afford to see a therapist, so sharing her story has become one of the ways she is dealing with the pain from her past.
