A 41-year-old man, James Omale, yesterday, told an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, that his wife must go to his village and swear an oath to proof her fidelity.

Omale, a self-employed, told the court while responding to a divorce suit of a two-year-old marriage filed by his wife, Yetunde, said: “My wife knows that she is guilty of adultery, that is why she is afraid to go to my village to swear. “She left her matrimonial home for a month to an unknown destination. In my tradition, when a woman leaves her matrimonial home and wants to come back, she must first go to our village to swear that no man has slept with her.

“My wife left my house without my consent and when she returned, she refused to go to my village instead, she rushed to court to ask for divorce.” He described his wife as “an ingrate,” saying “I sponsored Yetunde from her 100 level to final year. After her graduation, I lost my banking job and she told me she was not interested in the marriage again.”

Wife’s fears

The petitioner, Yetunde, 29, had filed the suit seeking for the dissolution of the marriage over alleged use of force by her husband to make her swear an oath. She told the court that her husband asked her to go to his village to make sacrifice.

According to Yetunde, “my husband tells me to travel to his village in Benue State to make sacrifice and swear to an oath to prove that no other man had slept with me. “He tells me that he always sees a man making love to me in his dream. His elder brother is an herbalist and his wife is currently mad, while his second brother’s wife has been sick for years without solution. “They cast spell on the wife of his other elder brother who is now a prostitute. I will never be a victim of their evil plan.” The mother of one added: “My husband always leaves the house without my knowledge and he will never care to call me. Because of his bad behaviour, I went to stay in my parent’s house.” The petitioner urged the court to dissolve the marriage because she was no longer in love with the husband. President of the court, Mr. Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case to September 6 for judgment.

The man is up to something.
Every sane man will be happy to divorce an adulterer.

useless and adultreous women everywhr in naija.whn they damn broke they don't complain bt d moment u bring them up they suddenly realise that ur elder brother's wife is mad,and ur brother is an herbalist.useless mofos

“My husband always leaves
the house without my knowledge and he will never
care to call me. Because of his bad behaviour, I
went to stay in my parent’s house.” she said.

From what she said her husband is also guilty of leaving the house without mentioning his Where about to his wife. Hence, she left for her parents house. The truth is that she could have cheated while she was away from her matrimonial home but her husband could be guilty of the same crime since both leaves home without informing the other.

My question is, Why single out the wife for some archaic oath swearing when he is also could be unfaithful?

That is so unfair, both of them should do the oath swearing or he let her go in peace.

Mr and Mrs Linus

Hmmm... This is serious!





There is more to this than meets the eyes! From the woman's statement, the man is also guilty of adultery! She shouldn't be the only one to swear the oath... Infact, the marriage should just be dissolved! The fact that he sponsored her University education doesn't give him the permission to cheat on her by commiting adultery!!





Some men sef ehn!!

This one na war,
Why can't the man use other means.....Nigerians

And one foolish african woman wld go and swear o

Lol,

It's only a mugu that doesn't know that corruption has gone deep into the social fabrics of this country.

Even a native doctor can be sorted.

The main thing about Nigerian men is that they have inferiority complex and do not have common sense.
The man is jobless and wants to use the wife for rituals.
The wife should leave the man Asap and never return.
Evil men are everywhere, most men are not qualified for marriage.
