Amongst other things that she has bottom-owner …. that she knows how to twist a man round her little fingers – that she discards stale boy-friends as callously and with as little a remorse as you would have squashing a menacing cockroach.

Madam Jane didn’t know what she was getting herself into when she allowed her ex-boyfriend spend the night in her home without the consent of her husband.

But sometimes, the truth is usually more complicated. As a result, many women who find themselves the ‘other woman’ are caught in situations they never bargained for.
Ngozi, an unmarried teenage mother had her first baby three years ago. To her dismay today, she is pregnant for her second baby. How could this have happened and how is she going to cope? The single mother remembered the heart break, severe pains and agony that trailed her first pregnancy following the refusal of her boyfriend, Charles, to accept responsibility of the child.
WHY does a seemingly happily married woman go off the rail? “Well, ’seemingly’ is the right word if you’re thinking of Labake’s marriage,”snorted Benny, a friend who dropped by to discuss the break-up of Labake’s 24 odd years of marriage.
