‘Why I Killed My Husband’: An interplay of guilt and blurred lines of love and revenge

‘Why I Killed My Husband’ tells the story of a woman, Omolade, who is sitting and mourning at her husband’s funeral, but hiding the fact that she may have had a hand in his death. Through her memories and a shocking discovery about her husband’s secret child, we can see how betrayal, infertility, and unresolved friendships can push someone to the edge.

What is the twist? Her old friend Angela, who also had ties to the same man, resurfaces with her side of the story.

This story is told from both women’s perspectives. It plays with guilt, pain, and blurred lines of love and revenge.

It will leave you wondering — who really killed her husband?

Being published in the maiden edition of Naira Stories honestly feels surreal. It’s not just a win for this story; it’s a win for all the stories I’ve kept to myself for years. It means my voice matters, and that’s a beautiful thing.
