Adenike, who testified in court on Friday, said she cried every day because of the kind of life her husband was living.
She said her husband was a drunk and always came home late, adding that
the plaintiff did not care about her welfare and the only child of the marriage.
She described the husband as “a stubborn and irresponsible family head who preferred spending his money on alcohol.
“I regret marrying him because my parents warned me not to marry him but I did not obey them due to the blind love I had for him.
“I pleaded with him on many occasions to be going to Church, with the aim of repenting from his bad ways of life but he refused.
“My Lord, separate us, I can no longer stay with a man who does not know God but live a sinful lifestyle.”
The defendant, who agreed to divorce the wife, however, accused her of abandoning him when he became broke.
He said “the court should grant her request but she did not seek for divorce when I had money and things were going on smoothly for me.
“It is now that she wants divorce because I hardly feed her and cater for her needs and our kid because I dont have the means.”
The president of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, dissolved the marriage, saying evidence of both parties proved that they both agreed to the separation.
Balogun also gave the custody of the only child of the marriage to the plaintiff and ordered the defendant to be paying N3,000 monthly for the upkeep of the child.

Lol...
People should know that going to church does not necessarily mean knowing God...

I believe the man. Women are mostly after the money and nothing else. If he had money, going to church will never be the problem

Don't mind the stupid woman. Church was her main reason for the dissolution of her marriage...when she was marring him, was she not aware he wasn't the church type?.

I don't understand why in this day and age, an able-bodied woman would choose to be a housewife. A grown ass woman will be complaining that her husband does not cater to her needs! What does she do the whole day that she can't get a job or start a business? Also @op, she listed other grievances so why did you stress on the fact that she wasn't happy over her husband's refusal to attend church?

that was a news article in the newspaper. I did not edit anything from it. but I think that is her strongest point. may be the man is having financial problems and think drinking is the way out but the wife is looking at it as a spiritual problem and his refusal not to seek spiritual help means the man doesn't want the problem solved.
