  • Divorce us or I’ll jump into river, man tells court after 40 years of marriage

    A retired civil servant, Mr. Isiaka Azeez, on Wednesday petitioned a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve his 40-year marriage to Mujidat.

    He threatened to jump into the river if the court rejects his request, citing his wife’s “constant provocation.”

    Narrating his ordeal before the President of the court, Mr. Ademola Odunade, the elderly man said he was fed up with his wife’s “troubles and frequent threat to his life.”

    Azeez, who is believed to be in his 70s, said he had never enjoyed any rest of mind during his 40-year union to Mujidat. Rather, he said, it had been tales of “sorrow and trauma.”

    “For over 20 years now, my cohabitation with Mujidat has been that of cat and rat because she is highly disobedient and an example of a mistaken wife.

    “Her attitude suddenly changed towards me the moment she realised that things had gone bad with me financially and she started treating me with disregard.

    “Then I developed diabetes and other systemic problems, but she did not take care of me.

    “Worse still, Mujidat told our three children to also take me as a nonentity because they neither greet me nor show me any form of respect.

    “For the past one year, Mujidat had, in fact, moved away from my home,” Azeez said.

    “If this court refuses to put an end to our union today, I prefer to go and jump into Dandaru River,” he added.

    The plaintiff’s younger brother and sister who testified in the matter confirmed his deposition.

    However, the respondent opposed the suit and also denied some of the allegations leveled against her, adding that her husband had, in fact, neglected her for his second wife.

    Mujidat submitted that she had never misguided the children against their father and that they only did what they wished.

    “The real reason why my husband filed this suit against me is because I no longer allows him to sleep with me and this is due to my age and his ailment.

    “Please, for the sake of our children, don’t separate us,” Mujidat pleaded.

    In his judgment, Odunade dissolved the union, noting that the relationship has been irreparably damaged due to the respondent’s misbehaviour.

    He, however, ordered the plaintiff to pay N5,000 to Mujidat to enable her move her things out of the house she shares with Azeez.

    I had no money in my account when I got married at 22- Yul Edochie

    Acclaimed Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has revealed that he had no money in his account when he got married at the age of 22.

     

    The father of four made this known while replying a fan who made a remark about a family photo he shared on Instagram.

     

    In an interview, Edochie stated that he got married at 22 because he didn’t want someone else to get married to his wife.

    “I got married in every way a man does. Traditional, church, every every. That was in 2004, I was quite young though.

    I think my parents helped me because I have known my wife for a long
    time. Just about when we got into school that was when I met her. Even before I finished school my mother knew I was going to get married to my wife; she really likes her a lot.

    So, by the time I finished university at the age of 22, I really wanted to get married to her but I had nothing and she had nothing. We
    just finished school were still doing our youth service then. I was
    talking with my mother and she asked me if I wanted to get married and I
    said yes and my mother told me I shouldn’t worry that she was going to
    talk to my father and she did.

    “My mum also warned me that if I hope to marry her when I have enough money, someone else might take her away. She told me my father wasn’t rich when they got married but today he is the person he is. So,
    you see you can really plan this things, the most important thing is
    finding that person who understands you and who wants to be with you
    when you are nothing. And if I hadn’t done that then, it would be such a
    problem for me now to find the right person to marry.

     

    “Everybody wants to come in then you won’t know who is real. I would say I was lucky to have someone who said I am going to be with you, even when I
    had nothing.” he said.
