Identified on Facebook by Chukwudi Somack Mmesoma, the lady said that she took the decision seven years ago, as she looked forward to her 31st birthday.
Her Facebook post read:
“Deciding to leave my marriage at the time I did was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been seven years now, and I am extremely grateful to God.
“I left while still young and full of life. I did not wait until my children grew up, thereby wasting my youthful years in an unfulfilling and loveless marriage. Instead, I utilized my youth to improve my life while I still could.
“It is easier to leave at a younger age rather than when you are older. Waiting for children to grow up is often another excuse women use to justify remaining in a marriage that is clearly not working.
“I am officially becoming a 30 plus woman, I am turning 31, and I am ready to embrace this new chapter in my life. The date is November 15th.”

“Were you told that you will get tired and run back? Mbanu, not a 24years young, beautiful Woman, that still has enough time to rewrite her wrongs! It’s been 7years, and we are 2weeks to 31. November 15th, and we officially become a 30-plus Woman.”
