Heeehehe....To an average Nigerian, N20m is a lot of
amount that could change the lives of many couples for the better.
However, what if, unexpectedly, you win this huge sum in a lottery but
then, your spouse is being sentenced to imprisonment with an option of
fine of N19m, would you easily let go of your prize money in order to
bail your spouse out? Nigerians share views with Fidelis Chidi blog....hehehe see
I can’t abandon my wife in time of trouble
Olayide Oyelowo
What is money if I don’t have my wife
beside me? How would I enjoy the money? Would it replace my wife?
Naturally, if my wife was in that kind of trouble, I should be seeking
for ways of raising money to bail her out, but now that I won some
money, if I were a responsible man, I would not even think twice before I
do what I am supposed to do. Of course, my wife’s freedom should be of
paramount importance.
It’s important to cherish my husband
Taiwo Adegoke
No matter what, my husband will always
come first. He is my lover and if he is in a mess, the responsible thing
that I should do is to fight for his release. I cannot eat, drink,
sleep or think if my husband is behind bars and I am still walking up
and down the streets as if nothing is happening. Without hesitation, I
would release the money. My husband’s freedom and wellbeing is of more
importance than the N20m.
My wife comes first
Peter Nganga
Common sense demands that I bail my wife
out. Of course, I agree that the money could go a long way in boosting
my family’s finances, but do I have a family when my wife is about
spending some years in the prison? Family comes first in this instance
and I would ordinarily do everything possible to obtain freedom for my
wife.
If I love him, I’ll bail him out
Betiku Folashade
I wouldn’t even think it twice before I
release the money. Let them even collect the whole N20m, my husband’s
presence in the home is much more important. If he’s free, we can make
more than that in the long run. How much is even N20m we are talking
about here? It could go same way it came. It’s not even money I worked
for. It’s a winning. So why should it pain me to release such money for
my husband to walk free again?
What if I didn’t win the money?
Tayo Richard
I would bail my wife out and we would
spend the remaining N1m, that’s how it is supposed to be. I should not
allow greed to set in here. I would ask myself what would happen if I
didn’t win the money. Maybe she would have gone to jail. And if she goes
to jail, will I have peace to spend the money without thinking of her
freedom? It is just not possible for me to abandon my wife in such a
situation.
Love is more important to me than money
Fadipe Lola
Money is not primarily the source of
happiness in the home, but love. As a responsible woman, I would gladly
give out the money so that I could see my husband by my side each day I
wake up. Nothing is of more value to me in life than love and care and
respect from my husband. So if I would have to sacrifice the money to
get all these back again, I would do that without hesitation. I believe
this gesture would go a long way in making my husband cherish me for
life.
I may not give the money
Chikwado Ikah
Releasing the money to secure her release
depends on so many factors. I may have to consider her faithfulness to
me in times past. If she were someone I didn’t really trust – maybe she
had even cheated on me because I didn’t have money or she once used to
compare me with other men because of money, I wouldn’t bail her out. In
fact, I wouldn’t mind her going to prison; at least, it human beings are
in prison there, not animals. She would learn so many lessons while
there and become a better person by the time she’s out.
If he never valued me, I won’t bail him out
Joy Opobio
Some men are not worth sacrificing for.
God forbid, but assuming he’s one kind of a man who never valued me and
who never showed me love and respect, I may not release the money for
his freedom. If he’s someone who abuses me and has never thought of me
as a wife, do you think I will release the money? This is not about me
loving money more than family, but it’s about wanting to get out of an
abusive relationship. With the money, maybe I could do some things on my
own and move on with my life.
This is temptation
Nasko Egei
This scenario is a tough one, especially
if I had been hoping for a financial breakthrough like that before. Now
I’m caught between the devil and the deep blue sea – releasing almost
everything I won to get my wife out would be difficult, but I guess I
would just close my eyes and release the money. I would assume luck
smiled on me because of my wife. God didn’t want my wife to go to
prison, so He made me win the money.
I’ll be depressed without my husband
Jannitta Scott
My husband’s absence in the home could
have a negative effect on me. If my husband is in such a situation, I
would not be happy. I would be depressed all the time; and now that God
has provided the means for my husband to be bailed out, I would surely
release the money. My thinking would be that the money came so I could
solve the problem. I should not be greedy and value money more than my
spouse.
