[size=14pt]Nigerian Woman Divorces Husband On Facebook[/size]
Date: Oct 26th, 2010.


A Nigerian, Mrs. Ijeoma Nwabolo, has divorced her husband, Engr. Okezie Godwin Nwabolo, through the Facebook, a popular social networking site.
The husband, a publisher and telecommunications engineer, therefore, approached a Lagos High Court to seek dissolution of his 14-year marriage with Ijeoma.
Nwabolo told the court that a family friend called his attention to the popular social networking site where his wife had gone to change her marital name, Nwabolo, to her maiden name, Onyeka. She also changed her marital status to single.


This prompted him to approach the probate family division of the court to dissolve his marriage to Ijeoma, because all avenues to reconcile with her were rebuffed by her and her family.
The 46-year old engineer informed the court that the marriage which was solemnised on 3 August, 1996 at St. Agnes Catholic Church, Maryland, Lagos, has broken down irreconcilably and his wife could not be traced.

Led in evidence by his counsel, T. O. Taiwo, he told the court that his wife deserted their matrimonial home without any notice or quarrel.
Nwabolo said on 7 August, 2006, he travelled to Abuja for an important meeting with the Belgian Ambassador to Nigeria. When he got to Abuja, all attempts to speak with his wife on phone proved abortive.
“When I arrived in Abuja, I called my wife but all her lines were switched off. Later, I had a call from my driver informing me that my house was empty and my wife was nowhere to be found. I immediately went to the airport and boarded the next available flight to Lagos for verification.
“On getting home, I discovered that she has left our Lagos, residence with all my property and our marriage certificate. I tried all my best possible to locate her but to no avail.

“When I called her uncle, he was not forthcoming. So I got the church that solemnised us involved but she rebuffed all attempts for reconciliation,” he said.
He added that the tribunal of the Catholic Church which includes the Archbishop of Lagos and other bishops sat and advised him that the marriage had become null and void because all efforts for reconciliation were defeated by his wife and her family.
The presiding Judge, Justice Olubunmi Oyewole, subsequently adjourned the matter for further hearing.

Revenge for what?. The juju may also dump him on facebook.

This story does not add up,lots of missing parts.

Is FB aware that you are in any relationship with this your Gf?

Phate07:


^^ ^ [b]My Gf dares not try that kind of stunt on Fb. If there are misunderstandings, then we trash it out in real life. Its a physical something, truss me.
[/b]

And what will you do if she tries it?

---

^^ those things happen o. only in naija.

I remember a woman who disappeared from her matrimonial home just like that too and she refused to honour all invitations for reconciliation

only to find out months later that she ran away with another man after she discovered that she was pregnant for her boyfriend cos she had no child with her husband.

I thought the husband was sterile until he remarried and had 2 kids with his new wife.

OMG. Why was she running then?. Shouldn't she have blackmailed the man into accepting the baby using his impotency or sterility?

Coolabbie:

You mean am lying?

@osama10 exactly we hv bin hearing of people 4rm oda climes divorcing by sms & wat not. Since we want 2 b among d developed countries,we cant afford 2 b left bhind. Again i say digital is d way 2 go

I am even getting sick of Facebook now all kinds of hideous stuff happend on that social network.

There're some loopholes in that story. How can a wife just pack up and leave without notice. There's definitely something the man is not telling.

Now there goes a Nigeria black woman again.

church dey support divorce ? this is new to me ,

Something in this story is very fishy. What did he do to make her leave? Has anyone seen his wife since? I suspect him, Igbo men sabi beat their wives well well, maybe she ran away for fear of her life or something even more sinister happened

bollocks

mobo my brother no allow me bring out my koboko o!

This kind of story is the trademark of PM News. Believe it at your own peril.  I am out of here.

Na dem sabi.

I THOUGHT IBOS DO NOT DIVORCE?!!?

It reminds me of this country song "My wife ran away with my best friend I still miss HIM a lot"
