[size=24pt]Dr. Tunde Soleye's estranged wife,  Funmilayo, begs court to dissolve her marriage, asks Nike Oshinowo to pay her N10m for marrying her husband[/size]



The divorce proceedings between Dr. Tunde Soleye and his estranged wife, Dr. Funmilayo Soleye, which also includes former beauty queen, Nike Oshinowo came up last week at a lagos High Court.

Here's how Tolani Abatti of Encomium mag  reported it. . .

Dr. Funmilayo Soleye, the estranged wife of  Dr. Tunde Soleye, has said that her husband is a serial adulterer who throughout their 28 years of living together had sexual relationships with seven women, including Nike Oshinowo.

Mrs. Soleye in suit N0  LD/280WD/07 , filed at Lagos High Court, Igbosere, Lagos Island, alleged that these illicit relationships between her husband and these women have caused her a lot of embarrassment, humiliation and  emotional distress. In her words "Since the  marriage, he has unscrupulously breached his  marital vows and frequently committed adultery in the most scandalous manner with at least seven women. (She mentioned names, occupations of these women and when the  affairs took place. It's published in Encomium but let's leave that out here). Three of these affairs produced three sons.

She added that she tolerated the affairs  because of the emotional stability of the children of the marriage and in the hope that  her husband would men his ways. But his  affair with Nike Oshinowo was what gave her  the impression that her husband was beyond redemption. It was then she asked for a divorce. Her husband refused to grant her  divorce, instead he brought a nuptial agreement prepared by his lawyer to be signed  by her, Nike and himself. She said she refused to sign the agreement and despite her advise against her husband marrying Nike, and if he must marry her, he must divorce her first, he still went ahead to do the introduction in  January 2007.

Dr. Funmilayo alleged in her petition that while her husband was cavorting with his  numerous mistresses, he completely and  willfully abandoned his conjugal  responsibilities for 10  years, despite the fact that they lived together under the same roof.

Now, because of all these allegations, she's asking the court to dissolve her marriage  which was contracted in 1979 and produced 3  children. She's also asking for a lump sum of 250,000  pounds and N75  million respectively.  She wants the court to order her husband to give her the title documents of the property Mews, London. A flat at Gray's Inn rd for their first daughter. For her son, she wants the court to order her husband to pay a total sum  of $276,000  for his university education and  maintenance. And more money to their second daughter. She also wants Nike Oshinowo to  pay her N10 million as damages for marrying her husband despite knowing full well that he was still married.

Dr Tunde Soleye in response to his wife's allegations of adultery, admitted having affairs with some of the women mentioned by his wife, but said it was at a time when the relationship between him and his wife had  ended. He argued that at the time, it was his  wife herself who stated that she would no longer sleep with him and he was therefore free to sleep with other women. He confirmed asking his wife to sign a tripartite nuptial  agreement between himself and Nike Oshinowo but denied telling anybody that he intended having any wedding at all with Ms  Oshinowo. He said what he told his wife was that he was going to be introduced to Ms  Oshinowo's family and that he intended  marrying her after their divorce. He denied that any introduction carried out by him to Oshinowo's family amount to a customary  marriage. (So they are not married?) While  admitting being very close to Nike, he denied  even having any sexual intimacy with her .  Therefore as far as he was concerned, he had  no committed any adultery with her as being alleged by his wife.

He  agreed with his wife that he had not  performed his conjugal responsibilities towards  her for a very long time (according to him, 20  years) but denied deliberately doing that.  According to him, it was his wife who had willfully refused him despite several attempts and demands from him. He said for this reason  and the fact that he had not lived under the  same roof with her since 1998 , he also wants  the marriage dissolved. He said that aside other reliefs that the court may grant, he is  willing to give her the sum of N30m to enable  her buy a residential property in Lagos and another N20m payment. he also said since all  the children from the marriage were adults,  there was no need to make any arrangement  for them in the divorce settlement. . .

Wo, I don tire to type o jare, the report is too  long. . . but y'all get the gist. . . I know this is gossip, but they made their divorce  public, so I guess it's fair game.

As the topic says: for marrying her husband, knowing fully well they are still married.

Let me tell you a true story,once upon a time a woman sued her husband's mistress for a huge amount of money, as damages for marrying her husband(exactly the same as this case) though it was in the US, but it got worldwide publicity 'cos she won the case. I'm sure that's what this woman is trying to do.

It seems the man has agreed to a nice settlement. Why is the woman even wasting another second of her life trying to drag the ho to court. She needs to face reality.

OK, but she must have what I call a BULLDOG (Barrister) or else it would be thrown out of the court before it begins

the husband made a reasonable divorce settlement offer.

It's called "Alienation of affection" and in America, the aggrieved wife can sue the husband's mistress in court for stealing her husband. Yeah, I know of at least a case where the wife won substantial damages from the mistress.

Only in North Carolina and no other place in America considers that nonsense law and even at that, you have to prove that your husband and you were madly in love before the mistress came in.

This is why I cant stand some women.

If your nasty of a man is cheating, deal with him and leave the other chick alone.

Linda Ikeji, madam gossip! You enjoy it more than the food you eat.

So, you condone adultery?

I agree she should face her husband, hhow can a man be so callous,he even fathered several children outside,it ll be beta for him to be a polygamist so we ll know instead of treating his legal wife badly

first things first this is Nigeria we are talking about, not UK or US. i feel the settlement offer is decent, she should take it and leave. whats done is done. the years unfortunately are long gone and she has to move on with her life. being bitter is a horrible thing. of cos the man wronged her terribly, but when its all said and done, she has to move on.

That's the word 'Alienation of Affection' the phrase sef sounds alien

Her reality check is when she loses the case.
