I went to INEC office in Surulere to collect my PVC. I took number 14. I waited 47 minutes.
The officer scanned my NIN slip. He looked at the screen. He looked at me. He called his supervisor.
The supervisor pointed at the monitor. The screen said: VOTER STATUS: DECEASED. NAME: CHINWE ADEBAYO. DATE MARKED: 03/08/2026.
I told him there is a mistake. I am standing here. I am breathing.
He printed the record. It showed my date of death as 15/03/2025. Cause: cardiac arrest. Place of death: LUTH. Informant: MR. CHUKWUDI ADEBAYO (HUSBAND). The record was updated at the National Population Commission on 22/03/2025.
My husband Chukwudi and I have been married for six years. He cooks for me every Sunday. He was with me on March 15, 2025. We went to his cousin's wedding in Festac. I have pictures. I wore peach lace.
The INEC officer said he cannot give me a PVC because dead people do not vote. He advised me to go to NPC to correct the record.
I drove to NPC office at Yaba. I paid N5,000 for a certified true copy of the death certificate. The certificate is real. It has a stamp. It has my name, my date of birth, my NIN. It has Chukwudi's signature as the person who reported the death. It has a doctor's name I do not know.
The clerk at NPC said, "Madam, this certificate was used to process benefits. See the stamp here." There was a stamp from my teachers' cooperative society, dated 10/04/2025. "CLAIM PROCESSED – NEXT OF KIN PAID."
I am a member of the Lagos State Teachers Cooperative. We contribute N5,000 monthly for life insurance. The benefit for death is N2.5 million to next of kin.
I called the cooperative secretary from the NPC car park. I asked if a claim was paid for me. She was quiet. Then she said, "Aunty Chinwe, sorry o. Your husband brought the death certificate last year April. He cried. We paid him N2.5 million. He said he needed it for the children's school fees."
We do not have children.
I drove home. Chukwudi was in the sitting room watching football. He saw my face and muted the TV.
I placed the death certificate on the center table. I placed the NPC printout next to it. I placed my PVC collection slip next to that.
He did not pick them up. He rubbed his palms together.
He said, "Chinwe, I can explain."
He explained.
In March 2025, his mother pressured him to marry a second wife from the village because I had not given him a child after five years. The girl's family asked for N2 million bride price. He did not have it. He remembered my cooperative insurance. He went to a hospital in Mushin with a friend who works in records. They created a death certificate. He took it to the cooperative. They paid him in April.
He used N1.8 million for the bride price. He used N700,000 to rent a small flat in Mowe for the new wife. Her name is Ifeoma. She is 23. She is currently pregnant.
He said he did not mean to kill me on paper permanently. He said he planned to "resurrect" me later after he had settled. He said the INEC record updated automatically from NPC, he did not know.
I asked him, "Chukwudi, for 18 months I have been dead, and you have been collecting my salary?"
He said no. He said only the insurance.
I logged into my pension portal from my phone. My next of kin is still him. My status is active. I logged into my cooperative portal. My status is "DECEASED – ACCOUNT CLOSED."
I have been contributing N5,000 every month since April 2025 to a cooperative that thinks I am dead. The deductions still leave my salary. Where is the money going?
He did not answer.
My phone rang. It was an unknown number. A woman's voice. "Good afternoon, is this Mrs. Adebayo? This is Ifeoma, your co-wife. Chukwudi said you know now. Please, I am begging you, don't report him. I am seven months pregnant."
Co-wife.
I am sitting in my car outside our house now. It is 4:22 PM. Chukwudi is inside packing a small bag. He says he will go to the village to "correct the mistake." Ifeoma is still on the phone, crying.
📆 On this day, in 1996, George Weah scored that famous 'coast-to-coast' goal picking the ball up in his own box, running the length of the pitch and scoring.
He was the reigning Ballon d’Or winner at the time but this was surely his career highlight.

Michael Jordan reportedly explained why he chose his youngest daughter as his only heir:
“I’ve watched all my children closely, and she’s the only one who has shown real ambition and a desire to follow her father’s path. The others grew up knowing their dad is a billionaire, so they never felt the need to work hard or build something for themselves.”
At first, you’d think it was her nude photo that got leaked. No… it wasn’t. 😳
She went viral because she and her husband had been living in a house for five years. Throughout that period, the husband faithfully paid the rent—without ever knowing that his own wife was the landlady. 😢😱
May we never unknowingly marry our enemy.
🚨🚨 Declan Rice on what William Saliba told him after England’s game against France 😂🇫🇷🏴
“Saliba was just making fun of me, asking why we didn’t show the same energy we showed against France when we played Argentina.” 😅
“That’s football and that’s what teammates do. We laughed about it, but of course those jokes sting a little when you’ve just been knocked out.” 😂

🚨 Leandro Trossard on his emotional Arsenal departure. ❤️
“I feel so sad about leaving because this club has been everything to me.”
“This is probably the hardest decision I’ve made in my career. It wasn’t easy to say yes, but I also feel it’s the right time to begin a new chapter.”
“One of the reasons I chose Beşiktaş over some clubs in England is because I didn’t want to be playing against Arsenal. This club means too much to me, and I didn’t want to find myself on the opposite side.”
“No matter where my career takes me, a part of me will always belong to Arsenal. I’ll always be grateful to the fans, my teammates, the manager and everyone at the club.”
“The thing I’m most proud of is that I was able to win the Premier League with Arsenal. That’s a memory I’ll carry with me forever, and nobody can ever take it away.” ❤️🤍
