On Thursday, a 31-year-old businesswoman, Mrs Francisca Obeji, told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve her seven-years-old marriage to her husband, Ezekiel Obeji, who impregnated a woman he introduced to her as his `sister’ in their matrimonial home.
She also alleged that her husband turned her into a punching bag, almost beating her to the point of death within the few months of their living together, Vanguard reports.
She, therefore, urged the court to dissolve the union, saying she was no longer in love and that she would like to move on with her life.
“My husband, impregnated his `sister’ in our matrimonial home.
“My husband, who married me as a virgin, stopped making love to me three-months after our wedding. Four-months into our wedding, he brought a young woman home and introduced her to me as his `sister’.
“He told me that she would be living with us and I accepted, because I didn’t know all his siblings. “After some months, this his ‘sister’ got pregnant and my husband ran away with her to an unknown destination and sublet our apartment to another tenant without my knowledge.
“I had to vacate the apartment that day as the new tenant moved in immediately my husband absconded.
“When I heard that my husband did the traditional wedding with his so-called ‘sister,’ I traveled to his hometown to confirm from his parents.
“His parents told me they could only accept a fertile woman as their wife, while they advised me to go and look for another man to marry.
“I do not know where to trace my husband as he had relocated elsewhere from the shop I established for him and had also changed his cell phone numbers,” she said.
She accused and called her husband, who had failed to appear in court after being summoned severally, an ingrate.
“Ezekiel is ungrateful and I now know that he never truly loved me; he was only after my money. When he approached me for marriage, he was jobless, but when he pleaded with me to allow him join me in my business, I accepted.
“After our wedding, he took over the business from me,” she said.
The court president, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, ordered the petitioner to submit an affidavit of service that would enable the court to continue with the matter despite the respondent’s absence.
Omilola, however, adjourned the case to Aug. 30 for further hearing.
Useless man! I hope this serves a lesson to all those babes who like to invest their life’s savings on men in the name of love, if a man says he’s ready for marriage let him also be prepared financially, and if for any reason he doesn’t have a job or runs a business of his own then let him stay at home and cook, clean, do laundry, go to market, etc while looking out for a job, then when he finds one the woman can take up part of the daily home chores, and life goes on, but for a woman to provide for the family from her job/business, run errands, do all house chores, ‘service” her hubby in bed and still bring out money to get him established in one business or the other, that’s a huge NO for me.. Mbano!! I no gree at all!
Good for you woman, go and look for another idiot to establish.
What is wrong with some families? How can you determine her fertility in just 4 months? Some women sef don’t know what they want to use their money for they will start investing in a woman because of desperation and wanting to answer Mrs somebody mtschew.
Next time wise up
chaiiii…
