The only way to avoid things like this is to pray not to marry a wrong wife or wrong husband. A Lagos business woman, Bose Ayinde, has revealed to the Igando Customary Court in Lagos that she had not set her eyes on the man who married her for the past 10 years.
39-year-old Bose told the court that her runaway husband, Nureni, with whom she had three lovely children in their 18-year-old marriage abandoned her without looking back for 10 years now.
“My husband abandoned me and the children, he got a job in Owerri 12 years ago and stopped calling me two years later, about 10 years now. All efforts to reach him proved abortive.
“I always travel to Abeokuta in Ogun to see his parents and informed them that their son was no longer calling me.
“They always tell me that I should be patience that he will call me that he used to communicate with them.
“I used to beg them to give me his new phone number so that I can call him but they refused,’’ she said.
The mother of three accused her husband who was not in court of lack of care.
“I have been the one paying the house rent and paying the children school fees, he did not call to ask for the children wellbeing nor visit home for once.
“His parent never call nor ask for the children. Anytime I go to them for their assistance in their granddaughters school fees, they always tell me to wait that my husband will soon come.’’
Bose pleaded with the court to dissolve the 18-year-old marriage because she was no longer in love and wanted to move on with her life.
“I am no longer in love with him and besides, I want to move on with my life”, she said.
The President of the court, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case till Novermber 9, 2015 for ruling.
