Widom with 5 kids says life has been hellish
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a widow with 5 kids had lamented that life is hellish for them.
Speaking with Legit TV, Blessing Adesuoye said she used to work as a maid before she lost her husband but she couldn't continue with it due to lack of money.
Blessing who now works as an office assistant in a hospital said she doesn't want to remarry. The Igbo woman said she earns over 20,000 naira monthly.
According to the widow, she incurs debt before her salary comes in and offsets it when she receives her pay. She said there is no help from anywhere.
