A 73-year-old pensioner, Mr. Moses Ogunboshi, shocked an Ikorodu Customary Court when he pleaded with the court to prevail on his wife, Mrs. Adejoke Ogunboshi, to partition their bedroom and allow him to live there if she does not want to marry him any longer.

He said, “I am a pensioner and an old man. Though I also contributed money when the house was being built, the house belongs to Adejoke and I have been living there. I have no other place to live if she divorces me. I appeal to the court to please appease Adejoke so that she does not divorce me.

“However, if she does not want me anymore, she should partition our master bedroom so that I will live in one part of the room. All I want is for Adejoke to let me live in peace in the matrimonial home, which belongs to her though I also contributed as well.”

He said his son abroad regularly sent money for his upkeep, adding that Adejoke rejected the money sent to her by his step son under the pretext that the money was meant to charm her.

Adejoke had dragged Moses to the court seeking the dissolution of their 28-year- old marriage, which had produced four children.

Adejoke, a 48-year-old trader, who lives in New Town, Ikorodu, Lagos, had at the commencement of the hearing accused Moses of frequently beating her and threatening her life.

She said, “Eight days before this year’s Eid-el Kabir, he threatened and swore to kill me with a cutlass. I was lucky to escape with my daughter, Funmilayo. Also in 2008, Moses threatened me with a knife without any provocation. He repeated the same act in 2009.

“I had to abandon my house for three weeks to live outside. When family members intervened, I respected them and returned to the house, but Moses’s attitude did not change. My life is in danger, so I have no more interest in the marriage.”

However, Moses denied threatening Adejoke’s life with a cutlass, saying that the five cutlasses in his possession belonged to his stepson, who is a land speculator.

The cutlass was shown to the court as an exhibit.

The Acting President of the court, Mr. Nosiru Isiaka, on Monday dissolved the marriage after parties failed to reconcile.

I vote to partition the room and give Adejoke three of the cutlasses, power must be shared equally!

Yes, but a cutlass in the hands of an angry man is an instrument of power and control, it must be shared too, Where is the love?

A cutlass in the hands of angry woman nko?.

lmao . . .are we so weak(women) that a 73 year old man can and wud still threaten physically a 48 yr old woman?
@Topic,Regardless of the allegation,man has a son abroad,the son can afford to get him an alternative accommodation.

An insurance policy? A deterrent?

Which kin insurance be that?. If the man hasn't killed her all these years with the cutlass, then he is less likely to do it. I say, lets allow him keep the cutlasses.

I think the cutlasses are more of life insurance for the 73yr old man and might be a weapon of instant-destruction in the hand of the 48yr old woman 


If my maths is still OK, then the man married the lady when she was 20 and he was 45. . . interesting!

I still insist we give Adejoke 3 cutlasses, a sex-starved man at any age is a dangerous man, read Adejoke below

Moses[b] threatened me with a knife without any provocation[/b]. He repeated the same act in 2009.

I can compromise on 2 cutlasses each for both, we can leave the fifth one in court.

funny pple

28 years of marriage, 4 children. . . one master bedlam.

Retirement package=1 raggedly curtain to partition one master bedroom.

God dey sha!

Their miracle is on the way. . . !!!




I don't care how they do it. . . there is domestic violence in this marriage and both are not comfortable with each other.
Divorce or not. . .a separation is necessary, till they can both learn to respect themselves and eachother. . . in love or not!

All these young girls that marry old men kpa kpa!
Of what use are you as a woman if you cannot control your man and vice versa to work together after 28 years?
After 28 years, why should they be sleeping in the same room in the first place?
Something is definitely wrong with this couple.
Geri-kids!
