WHAT DO I SAY: I CHEATED ON HIM AND I GOT DITCHED WITH A DOUBLE CASE

I CHEATED ON HIM AND I GOT DITCHED WITH A DOUBLE CASE.
WHAT DO I DO, SAY AND SEE? MY LIFE IS NOT MY OWN

The story you are yet to read is a real life story from one of our audience, pls do well to share your comment .* Names of persons have been changed.

Is it stupid on my part to have dated two guys for my own financial benefits? 

I thought cheating was unfair if played against me but little did I know that I would be doing same to hurt others.

I was playing smart with Duncan by having Twum as my spare tire, with whom I would demand all I want should Duncan disappoint me. As for Duncan he was great and cool and always made me feel like I was the perfect choice every man man could desire until I realized he was slacking in meeting my extravagant demands.

Hmm…  I just couldn’t understand him anymore. He was growing dumb as the weeks progressed. I just couldn’t water myself anymore with his name anytime I wanted to brag among my girlfriends. Along the way he started wailing about his financial crisis, and that was when I saw the green light.
I used the back door for a short quickie; I started engaging Twum with the few seduction tips I knew until he took the bait. You can say it was an infatuation but he was serious with me wai. … haaahaaahaa.

After a few weeks we were laid and poor Duncan still believed, I was an angel because I played my cards well.

You know gals talk as usual I was with my girlfriends in the salon for a fierce hairstyle for church when I disclosed to them that I was dating my spare tire. Yh the gairls got curious and I told them that Twum had only done me once, and we all laughed about it. Silly me i forgot walls had ears.

Adjoba who had known Duncan far enough broke my secret to him during working hours at the office they work. Ahh I mean what is really wrong with this 'Okoro'  ahha. 

 As for me I didn’t know about what had happened when I picked up Duncan’s call in my office:

Duncan: hello babe

May: hi dear

Duncan: I hope you’re doing well babe

May: yh , abi you know that am still fresh as always 

Duncan: can we go far a walk tonight?

May: ohh dear hmmm can we do it tomorrow?

  We reached a decision and talk for a long time on the telephone. At midnight he called me back and asked me if I knew a guy called Twum and I said yes. You don’t wanna know the questions that followed next hmm. I admitted to Duncan that I had sex with Twum just once and we he used a condom. He asked when the event took place and I told him 3 weeks ago and screamed babe you cheated!

  I wasn’t in tears because I loved him but I was stupid for cheating on him when he had shared all he had with me without flinching. What is love when you love me for money? He kept asking until the line went dead.
 I was so arrogant to him on the phone.

I just got to move on with my life aaaahh. I mean if you couldn’t provide and someone did what is the bid deal in it. Mtchewww.
 I just dosed off till it was morning.

The weeks that followed made me sick only to find out at the hospital that I was pregnant. Eiii who is responsible hmmm, I arrived home and called Duncan and he told me to cut him out of my sneaky games, ahh Duncan you’re responsible for the pregnancy oooo. I told you that Twum and I had a one night incidence and besides he used a condom so he couldn’t possibly be the father. He said calmly the sooner you awake from your dreams the better it would be for you.

  Hmm and Dr. says am carrying twins, and neither Duncan nor Twum wants them eiii today dei I’ve finally gotten into the ditch.

 Hmm in my couch I sat as I sobbed bitterly as I replayed all the scenes in my mind.

I kept asking myself  me y3 okay anaaa ! What was I playing with? Hmm is it fire oh then I got burnt paaaaa!

OOO my people what now? hmmm......

Girl accuses Reggie of 'Reggie N Bollie' fame of cheating

Reggie, a member of the music duo Reggie n Bollie who made it to last year’s X-Factor UK finals has been accused of cheating on his wife, Edith with Marie Asemota, 36.

This according to UK’s daily star was done through text messaging. Read full report below:

Read the account.

“Being a good husband and dad is Reggie N Bollie’s brand but in Reggie’s case it’s a fake.

“He is living a double life.

“I thought he liked me but he just used me and then dropped me.”

Marie told how she and Reggie – real name Reginald Kojo Ainooson – exchanged more than 500 texts as he shot to fame on The X Factor.

He even called her from the toilets at Wembley as he waited to go on stage and sent her suggestive messages on the way to a concert in Farnborough, Hants.

In stark contrast to his family man image, Reggie, 31, pestered Marie for explicit pictures and asked her to perform a sex act on video for him as his wife was back home looking after their children Ikhon, seven, Nolan, five, and Dior, one.

Marie, from Canterbury, Kent, initially contacted Reggie on Instagram in October.She left a message telling him she was enjoying his performances – and was shocked when he replied. Marie said: “I didn’t expect to get a reply. He thanked me for the compliment.

“I said ‘oh if you want, add me on WhatsApp’ but I wasn’t expecting him to.“Then out of the blue he just messaged me and said ‘I’ll call you tomorrow’.”Reggie rang on November 27 and then added her on the free messaging service. Soon his messages became seriously fruity.Marie said: “He said I was beautiful and that he loved my shape. It was intense.

“He was saying he could spend hours feasting his eyes on my body.“He wanted video, pictures, the lot. Fortunately I never sent anything like that.”Reggie’s raciest messages to Marie came as he was preparing for the X Factor final.He said she “stirred” his manhood and told her: “You need to be punished hard and long” before adding “I just want to bend you over.”Reggie even said he had thought about her on stage in front of judges Rita Ora, Nick Grimshaw, Simon and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

But after 30 phone calls and hundreds of texts – many too explicit to print – Reggie started to go cool on Marie. By this time Reggie N Bollie had landed the runners-up spot behind student Louisa Johnson, 17, and looked set for the big time.

On December 28, Marie rang him but a woman answered the call.Moments later, she received a text saying: “Hahaha I know everything.” Marie added: “He blocked me on WhatsApp and changed his number. He had his fun then dropped me.”

A spokesman for Reggie confirmed he was in communication with Marie but is no longer in contact with her.He added: “Reggie never met this woman – and is not in communication with her.”

Hike in transport fares “betrayal, shocking” – NPA

Moses Asaga

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) is in a state of shock following an increment in transport fares in Ghana by the GPRTU and the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council.

The transport operators have announced a 15% increment in transport fares effective today, February 1, 2016. The surge in fares was as a result of the increase in the prices of petroleum products on January 4, 2016 while the operators also took into consideration “cost of spare parts and maintenance, licensing, levies, charges and tolls and the almighty fuel.”

The Chief Executive of the NPA Moses Asaga said he feels betrayed by the posturing of the transport operators because a meeting has been scheduled at the Flagstaff House today between the government and the other stakeholders over the issue.

“The GPRTU and the acting chairman of the Council have been unfair to the negotiating parties which was the Government, Ministry of Petroleum and the NPA on one side and the Ministry of Transport. We have all agreed that this is not the time for them to increase prices because we do know that fuel prices are going to go down,” Asaga told Citi FM, Sunday.

He added: “We also know that in the last seven months when fuel prices went down almost by 35% the GPRTU did not lower prices in tandem with reducing fuel prices in the country… and we are supposed to be meeting [today] at the Flagstaff House. So we are rather shocked at what has happened.

“They didn’t need to increase transport fares based on the model we have. We have a model and why should they keep changing it. For me, I feel it’s a betrayal, especially when we knew it is coinciding with diesel price going down by 4-5%.”

Reduction in fuel prices
Meanwhile, prices of fuel have been reduced at the pumps with petrol going down two per cent effective February 1, 2016, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has confirmed.

There is also a 4% reduction in diesel with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) users enjoying the most as the commodity records a 9% decrease.

Per the reduction petrol will be selling at Gh¢3.393 per litre from Gh¢3.465 while diesel goes for Gh¢3.151 from Gh¢3.281 at some filling stations.

Gospel singer and producer, Nacee out with new love song, ‘Minewaa ‘

Multiple award-winning gospel singer, Nana Osei, popularly known in showbiz as Nacee has released his first love song, “Meniwaa”.

The song tells an emotional story of how some men mistreat the women they started life with; women who toiled with them in their journey to success and who supported them when they had nothing. The ace musician, member of No Tribe Group through the new song is embarking on a counselor campaign to reach out to the public and to teach them to practice love in the manner in which the Bible teaches us. 

His counselor approach is his way of appealing to his fans and all listeners to realize the true values of love. Nacee strongly believes if the pastors can preach about sex in church, he is equally eligible to sing about love and touch on sex related topics because these are everyday human-related topics of grave concern. 

The song “Minewaa” which has a touch of highlife, blended with a classic African rhythm was produced by Nacee himself and Oshobo. This is one of many such songs to be expected from Nacee on his “Counselor” album which will be released later this year.
