“My wife physically abuses and harasses me. She slaps me at the slightest chance. She abuses me mentally,” he said.
Mr. Chima told the court that his wife was disrespectful to his parents.
The petitioner also told the court that his wife has long abandoned their child to him, as he has been the only one caring for the child without the help of his wife.
He therefore, asked the court to grant him the custody of the only child of the marriage and dissolve the marriage between him and his wife.
The respondent, Joy denied the allegations.
In his judgment, the presiding judge, Dada Oluwaseyi, advised the couple to explore reconciliation.
Oluwaseyi adjourned the matter until 27 July, for report of settlement or hearing.

*Most Judges dont like to grant divorces.....
Things dey occur oo.
ReplyDeleteThat was how a man came to my office yesterday seeking for employment or anything to do to earn daily pay..he said his wife drove him out of the house yesterday and threatened that he should not come back home except with money. The man has 8 children from 6 different women. As I was trying to counsel him on how to go about his problem..I could sense the fear in him...
Delete@Sincere, good for him. When he was breeding kids anyhow, he didn't know his responsibility has multiplied? Imagine 8 kids from 6 women
DeleteThe man has 8 children from 6 different women.
DeleteAnd he is looking for rest???
Omo I have been at a divorce hearing one day, me and mom, that day eh laugh wan kill us for inside court, the man say the wife na ahewo say he dey abandon the children, the wife no gree, she dey talk say the man na stupid man say na him abandon them.
ReplyDeleteSee drama o, we jus dey laugh that day,
The kids who were 11 and 14yrs old were on their mother's side, finally judge said they should try to reconcile and if after 6months they are unable to settle then they will dissolve the marriage cos that was their 2nd hearing. That's how it was adjoined.
I feel bad for this man up here, no one deserves any form of abuse. That thing is a wicked thing to do
Women should do this often. Go to court if you have an irresponsible horseband. See what this man did? That is how it should be done, don't sit there and cry.
ReplyDeleteIsi gini?😳. Abi Stellz post another one on top this one wey I dey read ni? Anon, no be so o. Be kamiindan😁🤣🤣
DeleteHe can't defend himself or what?
ReplyDeleteYou never meet some women wey be one man mopol? The man is scared for his life like this o.
DeleteThis goes to show not only women experience domestic violence.
ReplyDeleteStella, most people don't like to wade in couple's fights. They will settle the case within themselves and makes the person seems like the asunder that wants to separate them. I think this logic is what the judge are always careful of going against.
ReplyDeleteBut then, no one deserves an abusive partner. I like that man stood for himself and go the legal way instead of acting on self-defence. If he defended himself, the woman will make herself the victim of the domestic violence she started. Horrible people. I hope he get the freedom he seeks.
This can never be me.
ReplyDeleteThey no born you well as my wife to talk back at me not to talk of you beating me.
The day she talks back at me is the day the marriage will end.
As a man, your wife needs to respect and have fear of you.
Before she opens her mouth to talk, she will think it thrice before voicing it out.
Okay. As long as you think thrice before talking to her too. You cannot speak to her rudely and expect respect in return. What you sow, you reap. But I agree that once your relationship or marriage gets to the point where you both constantly abuse each other verbally/mentally/emotionally, argue or fight, maybe it's time to reevaluate or take a break to avoid horrific news headlines.
DeleteOluwa ooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteWetin be this again bayii oooo
Court normally give room for reconciliation in some cases, before they finally grant divorce.
ReplyDeleteThey always give room for reconciliation hence the constant adjournment.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to all good men suffering different forms of abuse from their wives.
If you're married to a witch, divorce her!
