She cried when she left her parents’ home back to Abuja. Picture of Nigerian masquerades  The episodes of violence, verbal abuses, psychological abuses and all the attendant drama  continued but she endured, she had gotten to a point where she didn't care what he did anymore, who he had an affair with, where he spent the night he did not sleep at home.
