A housewife, Oluseyi Mark, has sought the dissolution of her five-year-old marriage to her estranged husband, Jonathan Mark, a pastor, over alleged violence and longtime separation.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Oluseyi, a resident of Osola Street, Ifako in Agege, Lagos State, urged an Agege customary court to terminate the union on grounds of violence, lack of love and longtime separation.
The petitioner alleged that her husband, a pastor with the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), was fond of beating her constantly over minor issues.
“When I was pregnant with our only child, my husband beat and punched me in my stomach.
“This made our son to have a scar on his mouth from birth.
“Since my husband is a pastor, I reported him to his church so that the elders there could caution him and had a change of attitude.
“But, he has refused to change from his violent act,” Oluseyi said
She alleged that her husband was also envious of her and would turn violent whenever he saw people around her or trying to hug her.
“My husband lies a lot and keeps a dagger at home which he uses to threaten my life,” she said.
The petitioner said that she had been living separately from her husband since December 2014.
“He has stopped providing for me and our child; I am the one responsible for the education and the upkeep of our only child,” Oluseyi said.
The respondent, Jonathan Mark, however, denied all the allegations levelled against him.
Jonathan said that his wife was a ‘party freak’.
“My wife cannot do without attending parties at the expense of taking proper care of our four-year-old child.
“She was, unnecessarily, demanding from me and liked giving me conditions.
“Whenever l wanted to have sexual intercourse with my wife, she would give me conditions that were unimaginable and this used to lead to a series of misunderstandings between us,” Jonathan said.
He further said that, “whenever we had any quarrel, my wife and our son will pack out of the house.”
The respondent urged the court to grand the dissolution of the marriage as filed by his wife.
He, however, asked the court to order his wife to allow him access to his son.
The magistrate adjourned the case till September 20 for mediation.
Tribune cullage.
*Na wah...some people run into Marriage and run out...Why can a pastor not know how this works?
Poverty na the causer ooo!!!

ReplyDeleteJust kidding, cant sleep so I feel like being Nautie.
Put wife when you re-edit the title.
Not every marriage is meant to work.If yours isn't working call it quit.short and simple
ReplyDeleteNne, that's a big lie. Your bible never stated that not every marriage is supposed to work. Actually every marriage is supposed to work, I think that was the divine idea. Meaning it is serious business that one must be very sure of, before venturing into. Its cos these days people marry for all the wrong reasons, without checking compatibility and various factors, so marriages don't last anymore.
DeletePoverty in the land is another "causer" of failed marriages.
Best comment so far!
DeleteThe institution called marriage,may God help us, the whole thing is now beginning to get scary, nevertheless, we will still give it a try, it is well.

ReplyDeleteEnd time foolish pastor
ReplyDeleteStella never ever judge women, I won't anymore because a woman's happiness is in her own hands. Men are unreliable and extremely wicked. Nigerian men have this sense of entitlement that I don't understand, even when I see women cheating, its fine as long as it makes them happy, never sit in your comfort zone and judge anybody. I suffered in my husband's hands and everything I thought I knew about my husband and marriage went down the drain. There is nothing like love and certainly nothing like a good man. Bash me all you like but pray you never have to swallow your words like I had to.

Sometimes I wonder why men tend to lay their hands on women irrespective of what they do...
ReplyDeleteMarriage was meant to be enjoyed and also be endured, if you can't handle the absence of any these, just work out.
You cannot come and go and kill sombori's shild cus you married her thinking you did her a favour by marrying her meanwhile, you both did each other a favour.
Self control is very Paramount in Relationships

ReplyDeleteWahala everywhere. God please take control of marraiges. Enough is enough
ReplyDeleteWhen people forget the author of marriage and dangled into it like a business, it become a mere ceremony and two people sharing each others space.
ReplyDeleteA pastor beating his wife, a pastor's wife partying like there is no tomorrow and giving conditions before allowing her husband have sexual intercourse with her; is all shades of wrong.
That marriage was not built on a solid foundation (Christ)
Wise one dear,thanks.
DeleteHmmmmmmm! Just passing
