Akure magistrate court indeed. He is only using the bench whose jurisdiction ends in Ondo for ethnic beef.

Issues of traditional marriage is for customary court.

Moreover ,it is a customary court where a marriage took place that has the jurisdiction.

It is even illegal to call someone "husband" when there is no evidence he legally married a wife by tradition or court, even if they have lived for 1 million years.

The lunatic of a magistrate even calls them "consenting adults"
What is a proof of consent in this case more that bride price?

If you like stay in USA illegally for 100 years, the day you are caught you'll be deported, whatever you have notwithstanding.

The judgement is very dead on arrival.

omooba969:


I hope you consider the woman to be irresponsible as well.

omooba969:


As you don't subscribe to inter-tribal marriage, are we allowed to knack women from other tribe though?

At least for knacking, no bride price is expected.

djon78:


The main issue is that because of the premium attached to bride price

The Man in question behaves himself well because he didn't go to just pick a woman anyhow

He paid a price for the woman he is marrying therefore he behaves well

On the part of the woman
She is trained from young to respect her husband who paid her bride price
Be submissive and take care of there home


That's why Igbo women despite there high place and achievement in society respects there husband's very well
Majority of them though we have the exception
Example: Ngozi okonjo iweala, late Dora Akunyili, Oby Ezekwesili are all well submitted to there husband's

Late Dora Akunyili was said that even as a minister and nafdac DG Personally prepared the soup her husband eats not leaving it to cooks and steward's

They even help build there Men up

Give it to Igbo custom


Although wise women respect there husband
Not just Igbo culture

I have been in a forum live where Mrs alakija personally said that despite her wealth she is submitted to her husband.
Cooks his food etc

Na women wey never reach anywhere or achieved anything in Life that disrespect there husband's


That's why I am raising my daughter's to attain great height but must submit to there husband's and do the normal work a woman is meant to do like cooking good food for your home and running your home perfectly

That's our duty as fathers to raise responsible daughter's that will be good wife to there husband's

ForestHill:
Logically, could this be the reason Igbo women stays married more than 90% of all the tribes combined?

LeopardX:

Provided it is mutual, carry on.

ud4u:
Without bride price there is no marriage in Igbo land, and the woman's family decides what to do with the children

I agree with the judge.

But what kind of man marries a woman for 23 years, without settling with the family?

23 years, and you could not pay bride price?

From the colonial days, the government had been able to put a stop to traditions they deem retrogressive.

During COVID, the government was able to ban churches from services and enforced it.

That's hierarchy of power at work.

Don't call her his wife after all he has. Ot paid the dowry.
Is it not better your women wait for dowry to be paid before they start having children for a man whose tradition is different from yours.

Will it not be better for the children also if the igbo woman does not have to change father.

Be honest with ur self who suffers when a dowry is not paid, is it not the children.

Enlighten your women to stick to their kind or better still confirm the dowry is paid before they start giving birth.


Well sha everything about it o is money money money.

How much you people will make from the dowryis all that matters to you people. It's business for you people as always.

Stop the evil tradition or go to court.

Like I said before,
Are you more knowledgeable than the judge.

Enlighten your women and stop spreading evil.

I hate person's who like evil and I hate a group of people more who like evil.
Your ways are evil and barbaric as stated by the judge.

Wake up and smell the coffee as your ways make people to hate you guys.

Think deep on what we are discussing

Shyboyk:


Omo I argued this with someone o he told me about their Igbo tradition and I was stunned 😧 like this is nonsense ..this can only be accepted if two Igbo people were involved because I cannot train children finish and because u want to divorce u now start telling me that in your tradition this one happen to that one …

But the man should have tried Omo 23 years no be child’s play and again this people bride price is always very high like say them dae sell their pikin in Igbo land this are always wild …how person buy land and when the former owner of the land u bought is dead they would demand that you contributed to his funeral …Igbo amaka

Jennyclay:
The prophetess must have gone through hell for the past 23 years in the hands of her husband reason she has to end that deadly marriage reason she even had to take her kids along.

Nigerian men will beat their wife to coma.
Nigerian men will rape their wife and they would gladly tell you there’s nothing like rape in marriage. Very sick and disgusting men .

Nigerian men won’t even provide and take good care of their wife and children.

Take a look at the case of that gospel singer, Osinachi. Assuming she left that monster of a husband, she would have been alive till now.

That's Igbo custom and it must be respected ..
You can't be staying with someone's child without doing the right thing and you expect them to just be giving birth like pig.
The worst thing is that they are prophet and prophetess

FreeStuffsNG:
O pari.

That Obayan is utterly irresponsible if for 23 years he didn't pay his wife's bride price when he went to marry an Igbo woman. What was he thinking or is he so naive and ignorant? He should have paid the bride price and I hope other men will learn because there are still many out there especially among the non-Yoruba .

For those who are yet to do inter tribal marriages, Learn now o and flee from such entanglements if your mind can't carry the cultural demands you see as strange, babaric and evil.

Before love carries you away, know the culture of the person you want to entangle your life with to avoid this kind of public disgrace to the Obayan family.

However, no culture should give omo oba fun osun. It could even lead to the death of the impostor father. Some men sef, you accept 4 children of another man and you are still talking. Smh. Check my signature for free stuffs!

NAC1666:

The man is stupid. Why marry a woman without bride price?,
All this Lagos and Abuja marriages. He should go and pay the bride price if he needs the children. And the so called magistrate,can he give his\her daughters hand in marriage without bride price Some one should ask the magistrate for me

Bede2u:
Yoruba leaders are so obsessed with Igbos. Look at a sitting judge talking like a tribal bigot, calling a custom they are not part of as barbaric. You will never hear any igbo leader talk about Yorubas as a tribe.
But we have heard oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, tinubu's wife, mc oluomo etc all use derogatory words on igbos

Scarcity234:
He should go and pay the bride price. Was he not aware of the tradition before he supposedly married the lady? Was there even a marriage?

His failure to pay the bride price invalidates the marriage too if there was one
