A whopping 60% of Pulse Nigeria Poll voters have advised Lois never to allow her husband's secret wife into her home.
Lois has been married for 16 years with four children and just when she thought everything in her world was settled, another woman came to tell her she is her husband's second wife.
It turned out that her husband Dennis had a secret wife and family he had been keeping away from her and now wants her to accept the woman and her children into their home.
Read her story here:
"My name is Lois, a 36-year-old woman. I have been married for 16 years with four children but just some months ago, I discovered a nasty secret that is now threatening to tear my marriage apart.
You won't believe that I found out that my husband, Dennis, has been running two homes for the last seven years without my knowledge.
I got to know that Dennis has a secret wife with two children who are six and four years old respectively and he kept the secret perfectly away from me.
I keep wondering how he could keep such secret from me for seven years and I now know that you can live with a man for years without really knowing who he is.
The day the truth was revealed, I was at home as I was not feeling too well and could not go to my shop. The children had all gone to school and I was resting in the sitting room when I there was a knock on the door.
I called for the person to come in only for a woman to come inside with two children in tow. I had never met the woman before, so I was surprised to see her. But one thing that was striking was that the two boys looked quite like Dennis.
My initial thought was that they were children of a relation of his, so I welcomed them in. After they had settled in, the woman narrated that she was Dennis' wife and that the two children were his.
She said the reason she came was to let me know that he had another family so we could relate as one. She said she was tired of living in hiding and her children denied the joy of being with their father as Dennis only saw them once in a while.
I was thrown into a kind of shock I had never experienced in my life but unlike me, I was not angry at the woman for whatever reason. I just told her to wait for Dennis to get back home as I had nothing to say. I gave them food and made them comfortable while we waited.
When Dennis came in the evening and saw the woman and the kids, he was also surprised, more so at the calm way I handled the situation.
He took me to the bedroom and confessed that he was having an affair with the woman when she got pregnant and he had to marry her at a registry. When I queried him on why he did not tell me, he said he was afraid of what my reaction would be.
Now the problem is that he wants the woman and the children to move into our house, a house I contributed a lot to build. This has been giving us problems and I don't know how to solve it.
Some friends I told about my situation say I should divorce Dennis while others say I should never allow the woman to move into our house.
What should I do?
Lois."
The teaser for the day was:
