MY name is Veronica Bolaji Wiwoloku; I am based in Italy with my husband, Sola Wiwoloku, but as we speak, I am in our family house in Ondo; my husband is also in Nigeria; but we’re not together.
He came to Nigeria to get married to me on August 3, 1988, and I joined him in 1989. He had bought a land before we got married but when he was planning to come home to develop the land in 1994, we were told that it had been taken over. That was despite the money we had been sending home. This angered my husband but his parents placated him that they were helping him save the money. We eventually came home with $7,000. Of that $7,000, $5,000 was mine. I then told him, since we are married and I was contributing so much, if you are buying a new land, it must be registered in both our names.
However, when he came back to Palermo, Italy, where we are based, I discovered he registered it in his name. I was not happy that he reneged on our agreement. Besides, he only came with the photocopy, having kept the original with his mother in Nigeria. He however calmed me down that he would not marry another woman.

“In 1996, we came home together; this time with $15,000. $11,000 of that money was my money. A friend of his, Mr Toyin Akinlosotu told us Government was selling some land and if we were interested. First, we decked our house; and then we bought 12 acres of industrial land, which we agreed would be registered in our children’s name, while another five plots would be registered as Mr and Mrs Wiwoloku. The reason I was able to raise so much money was because I was doing three jobs: I was working in Immigration office as translator to new arrivals; I was doing cleaning job and also working at a dentist’s because I studied dentistry.
Again, the documents to the new acquisitions were done in his name. This time, I kicked vehemently, insisting I could not stomach the deception. Clearly, it was deliberate. He pleaded with me to sign as next of kin, which I did reluctantly; but I told him we would still change it. Again, he kept the originals with his mum and only came to show me the photocopies.
“At about this time, he convened a family meeting, even invited my mother. I didn’t know he had concluded plans with his family. He also wrote a long letter, where he listed allegations against me, including that I normally came back home late and how I broke the dishes in the kitchen in a fit of anger. He however did not explain the circumstances leading to that action.

At that point I stood up; first to explain the reason I came home late. I told them I ran three jobs; I ran an African store, the first in Palemo, where I sold African stuff- cosmetics and co; and the first Africa-owned restaurant. I explained that that was how I raised the money with which we acquire the properties we had. I had to explain so that they would not think I was into prostitution, since Italy is like the capital of prostitution in Europe.
About the dishes, my first son developed asthma because he refused to help me man the children while I go to my evening job; as a result, I had to be taking them round in the cold. One day, he got an attack and was put on admission for ten whole days and I had to be with him. All through, my husband did not think of bringing us food, even when he knew that the food in the hospital was poor. After I complained bitterly, he brought food on the eighth day, but as I opened the plate, cockroaches were all over the plates. So I rejected the food. On the tenth day, I discharged myself. When I got home, I was hungry, weak and tired and fell asleep on the couch. To my surprise, my husband came and pulled me up to go and wash the dishes he had used for the ten days I was away. As I was washing, I slipped with my nine months pregnancy and almost died. It was in that annoyance that I broke the dishes and held one of the pieces, daring him to touch me.
“Two men at the meeting however saved the day. His friend, Mr Akinlosotu reminded him that he told him to register the documents in both our names; he also asked if he could try that mess with an Ondo girl? My husband is from Ondo while I am from Ekiti.

Then Mr Akinfolarin, his elder sister’s husband, challenged him to prove that I was bad luck, reminding him that it was after he married me that he bought a property and started developing it, bought a car and started sending money home; even have lovely children.
“I had to lie to his mum, she is late now, that I needed the original papers of the Ondo house to determine where to place the gate. That was when I was able to change the name on the documents to Mr and Mrs Veronica Bolaji Wiwoloku. If I should quantify his contribution to the money used in building that house, it’s not up to 10 percent.
I also heard that his mother buried some juju in the house; that perhaps is why he has never slept in the house till date.

Meanwhile, the African restaurant I started continued to grow and because we delved into rescuing Nigerian prostitutes, Shola now suggested that we register it as an association. We named it Pellegrino delatera; even Methodist Church bought into it. It is in that association that my husband works till date. At the last count, the association had rescued more than 5,000 prostitutes of African, especially Nigerian descent. At a point, I opted to face my African shop business. I don’t want to go into too many details, but my husband is into several falsehoods, including faking an NGO in Nigeria through which he was swindling the church of lots of money, lying that he was rehabilitating returnee prostitutes in Nigeria. He called the NGO Pilgrim on the Earth. That was another reason I distanced myself from that NGO; I see it as stealing from God. He made loads of money from that deception, with which he bought 200 acres of palm plantation.
In 2006, some of the prostitutes that we took off the streets by hiring in them in the restaurant told me he was harassing them sexually.
He frittered away N8million of sales made in my African shop when I travelled to Nigeria. Even his niece, Ebun, whom be brought to live with us in Italy, accused him of sexually harassing her in 2007. I came back to Italy from Nigeria one day to find that the girl had run away from home. Ebun’s mum told my aunt she ran away from home because of me; I said how? It was later that I heard the true story. When I asked my husband what the matter was, he told me Ebun went to report to the police that we were trying to introduce her to prostitution. I said that could not be true, because she knew we were in the forefront of taking prostitutes off the street. I said I would look for her and hear her story, but my husband opposed the move. He said the police said we should stay away from her. The whole thing left me confused.

Eventually, I met Ebun and she told me he had been sleeping with her anytime I was away from home until she got tired and ran away.
“In 2007, my husband went to form a company with three other men of the same family, with which they went to bid for a N130million solar contract in Ado with Ekiti State Government. From the beginning, I told him it was a wrong move because the three of them could easily gang up against him, even vote him out. Meanwhile, I financed all his travelling and other expenses as they bided for that contract to the tune of N7million. Because of my past experience with him, I made him sign an MOU that I must get something for my investment once the proceeds came out. My husband was made Chairman, while one of the other three, Mr Ilesanmi Ola was MD.
My fear was confirmed when Mr Ilesanmi Ola collected part payment of the money, N104million and did not inform my husband. We only got to know because some of the white men who delivered the job told him they had received part of their money. He did not give my husband a kobo. That was in 2007. The balance of N26million has not been paid until today.
However, it has grown in interest and is now worth N170million, due to the effort of our long time lawyer, Iluyemi.
