“My wife, Mary, encourages my son to drink and smoke Indian hemp,’’ a 66-year-old pastor, Vincent Omojeya, told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State on Thursday.
Omojeya, the petitioner, begged the court to dissolve his 36-year-old marriage to his wife, Mary, 58, saying that he was no longer in love with her.
The pastor said that he did not want to live under the same roof with them as they might kill him.
He told the court that his wife whom he married 36 years ago, was the one that destroyed his son’s life by not cautioning him anytime he erred.
“My wife always ignores my son whenever he does wrong things; my son does not sleep in the house, he drinks a lot and smokes Indian hemp heavily in my house.
“And anytime I try to scold him, my wife will not allow me,’’ he said.
The pastor said that Mary was also fond of instigating his children against him, especially his only son to disrespect him.
“Anytime my wife and I are fighting, she will call my son and order him to beat me up in her presence.
“There was a day my son threatened to kill me, he brought out a knife with which he attempted to stab me in the stomach.
“My son also grabbed my neck but I had to prevent him from stabbing me and in the process the knife cut my hand.
“We were taken to the police station where the officers advised me to pack out of the house for my dear life or else my family members will kill me.
“I have packed out of the house for two years now and rented a room thus denying myself the comfort of the house I built with my money,’’ he told the court.
Omojeya also alleged that his son broke the wind screen of a car he had just bought on hire-purchase while his wife was there watching him.
However, the 58-year-old Mary Omojeya, in her defence, alleged that her husband was always cursing his family members anytime they offended him using the Holy Bible.
“My husband never prays for either the children or myself, rather he cursed us using the bible and assaulted us over any slight provocation,’’the mother of five said.
“My husband has a wire which he always uses to flog me and the children; he always fights with his friends, tenants and church members also.
“These always lead us to the police station for settlement,’’ she said Mary said that Vincent was an ingrate who had forgot that her mother and uncle sponsored the education of their children up to the university level.
Then, my husband was always complaining that he did not have money to sponsor our children’s education, she said.
Mary said that her husband removed the roof on their flat and
disconnected the wire that was supplying electricity to their flat thus throwing them into darkness.
She also accused her husband of disconnecting the pipes that supplied potable water to their apartment.
The development, she added, left the family to buy water for domestic purposes from unknown sources and fetching rain water anytime it rained.
She denied the accusation that their son was always fighting his father on her prompting.
Mary said that rather, their son was always protecting her from his father whenever my husband was beating me.
The respondent, however, begged the court not to grant her husband’s wish for the dissolution of their marriage, saying that she was still in love with her husband.
The President, Mr Hakeem Oyekan, adjourned the case to May 27 for further hearing.

Marriage of 36 years



Who should we believe between the husband and wife now


The husband want divorce and the wife says he still love her husband that the marriage shouldn't be dissolved.

But, in my own honest opinion, if indeed the husband has been living alone for two solid years, i think the woman is punishing the man seriously and intends to continue suffering the man, hence, her refusal for the divorce.

So whoz lying na?cuz the two stories from both parties carry weight

I don't think anyone should be forced to stay in a union they don't want to. Dissolve the marriage already

FLAWLES:
So whoz lying na?cuz the two stories from both parties carry weight

I tell you!
Heavy weight sef!

I wonder why it took them this long!
I also wonder why the woman refuse the divorce with all those heavy accusation against the man. I think she should be happier to live without the man with the way she narated how the man has been treating her and the children.


However, it seems the man has so much maltreated the woman to the extent that she wants a "return match" for the man by refusing the divorce, knowing fully well that the man can not legally remarry if the 1st marriage is not legally dissolved.

He told the court that his wife whom he married 36 years ago, was the one that destroyed his son’s life by not cautioning him anytime he erred

Is it after 36years that the pastor is just seeing the fault of his wife.....

I just stated my own opinion, why don't you state your own without any attack?

Marriage of 36yrs and they still can't resolve their differences.smh

A pastor's fold is first his family.If he can't manage his family,how will he manage a church?

I thought Igbos dont respect elders This plebs even go as far as knacking their parents akpako

Married life.....don't go in thinking it would be easy.

Women! When a woman is scorned just expect the worst.

Mtcheeew....


@66 years old, what else is chasing him around.


No responsible child ll raise up his hand against his father except the father deserves it by not training the child and that makes it the fathers fault.




Dey better pack dem dirty linen go inside go wash.


And to think some stupid ladies go carry them boifrnd name go meet the man now say make him help them pray. Man wey never pray for himself.

And a son would beat his own father because his mum told him to?
This is serious.

Catch you there.

Pastor, you should be ashamed of saying this. Didn't the holy book ask you to stay at the ceiling (in this case, another abode) instead of staying with a nagging woman? Why did it take you 36 years to dissolve the marriage? I doubt your pastorship anyway.

.. Things r happenin in this world..
