NP’s Family Dynamics with Eesher: The shocking truth I discovered too late
In this week’s episode of NP’s Family Dynamics with Eesher, a sister shares a heartbreaking story of deception and the devastating consequences of marrying without truly knowing her spouse’s real work. Her experience is a powerful lesson about trust, vigilance, and the importance of due diligence before marriage.
“Dear Sis Eesher,
I have a painful lesson in my marriage to share with you and your readers. Perhaps they would learn a lesson or two.
I got married in 2020, believing I had found a partner for life. My husband told me he worked as a personal assistant under someone, and I had no reason to doubt him. We met in Abuja, but after our wedding, we lived in separate states. He would visit from time to time, and I accepted this as part of our reality.
After giving birth to our first son, he returned home for Eid, and afterwards, we travelled together to the state where he resided. Since my parents lived in the same state, I went to visit them as well. For a while, we lived together, and everything seemed normal—until that unforgettable night.
At exactly 1:30 AM, I was jolted awake by the sound of men barging into our home. When I opened my eyes properly, I saw them—armed men with “NDLEA” boldly written on their jackets. They took my husband away along with several items. I was in shock. Was this a nightmare or a reality?
A few minutes later, a message from my husband popped up on my phone:
“Check very well. There are some goods they didn’t see. Take them to your parents’ house. They might come back again and take you along.”
Fear gripped me. I had no idea what was happening, but I didn’t want to suffer for something I knew nothing about. In a panic, I took the remaining “goods” to my parents’ house. At first, they refused, but I begged them until they reluctantly agreed.
That was the moment I realized the painful truth—I had married a drug dealer.
My husband spent a month in NDLEA custody before being released. I returned to my own state, trying to move past the nightmare, but it wasn’t over. He continued to store his goods at my parents’ house. My parents were uncomfortable with it, but once again, I kept begging them because my husband insisted. This went on for years, from 2021 until early this year.
Finally, my father put his foot down and said he could no longer allow it. That was my crime in my husband’s eyes. His response? He vowed that I would suffer for it.

He stopped providing for me, withdrawing his support. Now, as Eid approaches, he has bought new clothes for himself and our two sons but refused to buy anything for me or our little baby girl. This is just one of the many hardships I have endured in this marriage—one filled with lies, domestic violence, and endless pain.
Through it all, I hold onto my faith. I keep praying that Allah will see me out of this marriage and into a better life.
I may not have new clothes for Eid, but Alhamdulillah—I have life, and that alone is a blessing.
To my sisters, please know who you are marrying. I have learned my lesson the hard way.”
Dear Anonymous,
Your story is truly heartbreaking, and I admire your strength in enduring such a difficult situation. You have shown remarkable patience, but no one deserves to live in fear or be forced into wrongdoing. Your husband’s actions are not only unfair but also dangerous for you and your children.
Please prioritize your safety and well-being. If you can, seek legal or religious guidance to explore your options. Lean on your parents and trusted loved ones for support. Most importantly, never feel guilty for standing up for yourself. May Allah ease your burdens and guide you to a peaceful and secure future.
Stay strong, and know that you deserve better.
With love… Sis Eesher
