-
Sheila Courage, the estranged wife of singer, Davido’s Logistics Manager, Israel Afeare, popularly known as Israel DMW, has said she has no regret ending her marriage.
Naija News recalls that Israel and Sheila tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony that was held in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

However, the couple got separated barely eight months after their lavish wedding over allegations of domestic violence and infidelity from both parties.

In a recent podcast interview with her friend, Ginika, Shiela admitted that she was hurt after her ex-husband involved her friend and her mother in their divorce saga.


She said, “I did not regret any decision I have taken because it was all bound to happen. I believe strongly that God is in charge of all that happens in our lives, whether positive or negative, there’s a master planner behind everything.

“But I’ve had my moments of sadness. I feel so bad about the whole thing especially the way my friend and my mum were dragged into it [our divorce]. That has hurt me. But generally, I have zero regrets.”

In Nigeria's vibrant market, following up with customers is more than just a sales tactic; it's an opportunity to foster meaningful relationships and drive growth. I recall a personal experience that highlights the power of persistence and emotional intelligence in sales. A few months ago, I had a client on the Island in Admiralty Lekki, one of the more affluent areas in Lagos. Initially, she was quite challenging—her demands were high, and she seemed skeptical about making a purchase. Despite several follow-ups, it felt like I was hitting a wall. However, I remained patient and empathetic, focusing on understanding her specific needs and addressing her concerns. Through consistent and thoughtful follow-ups, I gradually built a rapport with her. I made sure to listen actively, understand her preferences, and demonstrate how my product could meet her needs.

I met Tunde when I was 26. He was my first love, the man who made me believe in forever. We spent 11 years together, sharing dreams, laughter, and countless secrets. He disvirgined me, and I believed in our love so deeply that I sacrificed everything for him, even enduring the pain of aborting pregnancies six times because he wasn't ready to be a father. But now, at 37, I face the harsh truth my body can no longer carry a child. Tunde, ever the sweet talker, promised marriage, insisting that I had been the foundation of his success. I supported him through thick and thin, helping him rise in his career. But on the day of our traditional engagement, everything fell apart. His parents revealed in court that another woman was pregnant with his child, and they were already planning a wedding for him and this new woman.

The Impact on Children Children are often taught to respect and obey their elders, which can make them especially sensitive to the dynamics between their parents. When conflicts arise, children may feel torn between loyalty to their parents and fear of the unknown. This emotional strain can affect their academic performance, mental health, and social interactions.
