Lagos – A middle-aged-man, Collins Nduka, on Thursday pleaded with an Ojo Customary Court in Lagos State to order his wife, Sefinat Nduka, to refund N1.4 million he spent in marrying her.
Collins told the court that his wife, whom he married three years ago, had decided to abandon her matrimonial home for more than a year.
“I would want a refund of the amount that I spent as marriage and dowry expenses because she has become unfaithful.
“My wife is not faithful to the marriage because she has other relationships apart from me and I no more love her. After all, she has not given birth to any child for me.
“The most painful thing is that she has parked all my belongings in my house to an unknown place in addition to her emptying my shop which I stocked with over N750,000,” he said.
According to him, the three-year-old marriage is being threatened and every bit of her action portrays her as someone no longer interested in the union.
“I invited my friends from outside the country to make the marriage an expensive one and after it, she wants to leave me for another man, I need my dowry so she can be free,” Nduka said.
He pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage and order Sefinat to return his belongings which she allegedly parked away and money to him so that he could continue with his life.
Sefinat, who was absent in court, had earlier told the court that she did not cart away her husband’s property as he had alleged.
She, however, said that she was ready for the divorce.
The President, Chief Joseph Ogunmola, while advising the husband on the dangers of divorce, instructed that the respondent be invited to the court.
“The court does not dissolve any marriage except in extreme cases, we need the consent of both parties before judgment so she must be invited, “he said.
Ogunmola, therefore, adjourned the case to May19 for further hearing. (NAN)

Igbo and their expensive marriage ceremony.....
Now the lady don waka after you have spent such a huge amount of money

cococandy:
Lol. Return ko.
The only money they owe him is the bride price and his property if she really carted them away.

Was the wedding feast for her alone?
So she should refund him the money he spent on entertaining his friends from abroad?

Funny guy.

This thread is invalid becos only yoruba men are commenting on them.

The igbo men seem fine with the Bride Price arrangement.

For igbos marriage is a very serious affair and not childs play.

Yorubas want to use marriage as pretence to date igbo girls and then later move on. That is the only way for them.

The Bride Price means they cannot divorce their wife and go after another igbo family becos the thing will get expensive.


Igbo guys are not complaining becos they don't have this agenda and intend to marry only one, so no expenses as every body spend on their wedding.

My advice to the yoruba tribe is to stop planning evil for the igbos tribe, u have ur women to marry and divorce as u like be happy and content with that and leave evil.


U are trying to degrade igbos and avoid a cost, that wont happen as it will be costly to u.

Igbo girls only became ashawo wen a select few started accepting marriage proposal from very rich yoruba familyl, before that they were not ashawo.


I can tell u that the real ashawo of Nigeria are yoruba women, they have the highest rate of baby mama and divorce rate in the country.

I know too many yoruba baby mama.]

sniperr007:


Sefinat doesn't sound like an ibo name?

ijustdey:


yep.... but the guy is Igbo and believes that spending such a money means he has married a good wife...


that's why I said Igbo and their expensive wedding

yhusiee:

I think Sefinat is an Hausa name. If what I think is true, then I have to say that I am not suprised; how on earth did an Igbo man decide to marry an Hausa woman in the first place?

sniperr007:


Doesnt justify ur comment. Most Ibo guys I've met complain abt d bride price and if possible, try to reduce it to d lowest minimum.

ijustdey:


but I always thought the the higher the price..... the more responsible the lady will be.....



I did made the comment after reading the words from a moniker (stolen)
