A battleline has been drawn
between a Lebanese and a Briton
resident in Nigeria. Their quarrel
is over a Nigerian lady, Juliet and
her two children, who the
Lebanese is laying claims to. The
Romeos are really at war with
each other over Juliet. The angry
Lebanese, Walid Yatim, is alleging
that the Briton, Mike Wood,
snatched his wife and took
custody of his two children.
He has even threatened a showdown, with
the ‘intruder’ if he fails to hands off and let
his family be. According to Yatim, he
married Juliet on March 24, 2005, at Apapa
Marriage Registry, Lagos. The marriage is
said to have been blessed with two girls,
Serina, four, and Sonia, two.
The aggrieved Lebanese said he was ready
to call it quits with the marriage but vowed
not to allow another man to adopt or claim
his children while he is still alive. He
narrated how his estranged wife, on two
occasions, attempted to use scissors and
razor blade to kill him.
“I was sleeping one day and woke up to see
her holding a razor blade, which she
wanted to use to attack me. I managed to
collect it from her. She used a plank to hit
me on the head. Another problem I had with
her was as a result of the children. She was
not taking care of them. One day, she told
me how people were making jest of her,
saying she married a white man and had
nothing to show for it. So, I gave her N50,
000 to buy things for herself.
“ That was when she was pregnant of my
first daughter. I had to rent a flat for them. I
even assisted her brothers and sisters,
when they needed some money. She fought
me everyday and threatened to kill me. But I
must say that I had both good and bad
times with her.
“Our problem began when Juliet failed to
treat me as her husband. Strange visitors,
both men and women, usually filled her
room. “I go to work at 1 pm and returned at
about 4 am. I tried to stop them from
visiting her but she told them not to listen
to me, saying I was a stupid man. I took her
to Lebanon and we spent about N1.5
million. I need my children. She made the
children to bear another surname. They can
bear Walid or Yatim but not Vincent. Vincent
is my wife ’s surname. I don’ t understand
the meaning of that,” Yatim fumed.
The marriage certificate with registration
number 103262 made available to Daily Sun
showed that it was actually contracted at
Apapa Local Government, Apapa, Lagos on
March 24, 2005. Juliet, who is playing the
cupid, has, however, debunked the
allegation of attempted murder against her.
Daily Sun also went to Apapa police station
to inquire if Yatim reported any case of
attempted murder or threat to his life
against Juliet. The Divisional Police Officer
(DPO) Mr. Mohammed Ali, a Chief
Superintendent, who identified the couple,
explained that it took him time to make
peace between the couple.
Narrating what transpired between them,
Juliet told Daily Sun on phone that Yatim
abandoned her and the children and
travelled to Lebanon where he stayed for
about two years. According to her, during
that period, he never cared to know
whether the children were feeding or going
to school. But Yatim denied the allegation,
saying he was always giving her a monthly
allowance of $700, which he claimed to
have sent through the Western Union
Money Transfer.
But when she was asked how she spent the
money. Juliet screamed: “Yeeeh! Jesus Christ
o! Which dollars? It’s a lie (laughs). Why did
he treat me like that? Is it because I’m a
Nigerian woman that made him think he
could do anything and go scot-free ?”
She continued: “When people come to
Nigeria, they treat our women the way they
like. I ’ve not even seen him (Yatim) for four
months now. Any way, if God says I will
marry Mike Wood, why not? I will go ahead
and marry him, he ’s a good man.”
Meanwhile, Yatim has written a petition
through his lawyer, George Ohioma
Chambers, Apapa, to the office of the Special
Adviser, Ministry of Youths, Sports and
Social Development, Ikeja, dated November
26, 2010.
The letter, entitled: “Act capable of moral
destruction of minor”, signed by the
principal counsel of the chambers, George
Ohioma, reads in parts:
“Our client informed us that the marriage
which is blessed with two (2) children,
namely, Serina and Sonia that has hitherto,
been blissful suddenly got dramatic turn,
when Mrs. Juliet Walid began to have extra –
marital affairs with Mike Wood. Our client
verily informed us that against his advice
and or counsel, Mrs. Juliet Walid with other
young girls, she termed sisters and or
relations …smoking cigarette …doing other
things and or act (s) in the presence of
these minor is beginning to affect them
negatively. ”
When Daily Sun approached Mike Wood, a
fleet manager in a company located on
Wharf Road, Apapa, Lagos, he claimed that
Juliet and her kids were abandoned by
Yatim, when he travelled to Lebanon. He
berated Yatim for allegedly abandoning his
wife and two children. According to him, he
only assisted Juliet and her children and
prevented them from further sufferings. He
claimed to have paid the children ’s school
fees, fed them and their mother, as well as
provided a comfortable house for them to
live in.
The Briton also disclosed that he bought
one Honda CRV for Juliet. “I’ve been
working here for the past 17 years. It’s very
sad that he is making such allegation
against me. We even discussed him at
home. I ’ve not even met him. The woman is
very nice. She’s faithful and truthful to me.
I’ve rented a house for her and the children.
I ’m a good person.
They were married before and lived
together but the man abandoned her and
stayed in his country, Lebanon, without
caring for his wife and children. The woman
has found someone else. I did not know her
until they parted ways for close to two
years now. The woman has been taking
good care of the children as far as I ’m
concerned. I’m helping her. I will continue to
assist her. I love her. We will get married
after she must have divorced the Lebanese.
The most important thing for the children is
to get good education. That man couldn ’t
even pay their school fees. I’m a divorcee. I
married in England. I’ve three children, two
females and a male. They are all happily
married, ” he said. The Lebanese claimed to
have arrived Nigeria six months ago, only
to hear what he described as ‘rubbish’. And
he said it was as a result of that, that he
stopped giving his wife money. He has,
however, vowed not to allow anybody
claim his children in form of adoption as he
has enough money to send them to school
and feed them.

From www.sunnewsonline.com

I dont trust Lebanese, I really dont know why

Some women are terrible. See how she's playing 2 oyibos. Kai

I admire the british man's gesture, indeed a good man.I can't blame the woman falling in love with him despite of her married status.This lebanese guy is irresponsible.This woman must show some evidence that shows his irresponsibility and incapacity of being a husband and a father to her 2 children.So,divorce will be approved.Anyone deserves to be happy.

Let the girl help end the fight.
