Litigations has torn him apart and then there's this $15,000 monthly hefty child support, now the killer of it all is not having any shared custody of the kids he is mandated to pay $15,000 for... common father in-law, I think that would eat any man up and more over if he truly wants them all dead he would go through it already but he chose to go alone.. suicide is not easy,, respect to the dead.

Entitlement? Have you consider the medical condition of the child huh Medication bills, feeding huh What of if the mom is unable to work due to the child condition undecided don't forget that a 2nd child is there too.
Welfare support will be made available to her.
I guess the mom will now work now that the man is gone.


Or the Father inlaw will be the one to raise the $15k monthly child support now. undecided

May the deceased RIP

Not withstanding, what transpired in my opinion was unrelated to his suicide. Perhaps other issues such as his ex-wife seeing other men or bad debts may also have been at play. He may have been dealing with other mental health issues.

He could’ve filed for bankruptcy, or moved his assets to a sibling there are ways around this.

We all witnessed Hakimi’s case, even Ludacris filed for bankruptcy at some point even though he was cashing out on fast and furious.

He wouldn’t have been sentenced for money he didn’t have.
I wish he had strong support systems. Suicide is not the answer!

suicide voids life insurance. The insurance money is lost.
Some policies exclude suicide only within the first year or two, after that, suicide doesn’t void insurance

Bad Father in-law. If he had inteveyed properly,it won't have degenerated to this. Now, with this stupid man reaction after the man commited suicide, it's obvious,this stupid man contributed to the frustration of the young man. God will judge this man
Any sane person that read what that ghorielah said would conclude that he contributed to that man's dea.th

if that is the case, I earnestly hope he did not forget to change the beneficiary to someone on his side of the family. It would be a shame if he forgot and left the beneficiary as his wife.

pocohantas:
Na this man be the FIL?
This old man with plenty ex-wife problems.
Same old man that posted pictures of ladies he has been intimate with.


It is nice to read the "full story".
News on marriages/divorce in the abroad is usually over-sensationalized by the Nigerian M community. When I saw he lost all his license and blablabla. I was like, not again.

I still think $15k monthy is much though.
How much does the young man earn? I want to believe he has been paying it before or has the ability to pay it for them to slam him such.
A lot of bs

The guy did not lose any license

Apparently he was paying $1900 per month and according to the dad defaulting

He has been separated from the wife since 2022 domestic violence matter

He was a cardiologist and they can pull 500k a year

His wife was not doing bad either - she is a physician assistant and can pull 120k a year

What happened is pauperised red piller Nigerian males and maybe the doctors friends and family made up a story your would expect and ran with it.

Hungry broke gold digger trophy wife brought from Nigeria

Meanwhile the lady was born and bred in Yankee and had athletic scholarships

The funniest thing is boys cursing out the girls father who is all things considered a polygamous hero. An American Ned Nwoko.

And a man who has his daughters back. Somehow they did not expect that

All of a sudden knacking plenty women is a problem

The dad alleges the doctor came to the wife's place with a gun, held them hostage for 3 hours and then killed himself. Not sure if that is true

In the end everyone has lost

The dude was 36 years old and a successful doctor. He had serious disposable income, was handsome so I can't understand
So maybe the anger management and controlling issues track.

As mymum and dad were medical,my dad has a sister who was also medical with her husband and they moved fully to the US in the 90s. All the kids are successful doctors. My sis was telling me how the first born has a g wagon and his baby mama dey also deal with him. You have money so you roll with it till the pikin is 18. Then you decide what to do

Plenty of threads on reddit where people discuss issues like this like civilised human beings.

The $15000 is likely exaggerated - Diddy was paying $21000 as child support. Yes the doctor is doing well but the court will look at his income the circumstances etc. And he also has lawyers of his own

I think he deserves to be insensitive considering that the Dr. Ikenna held his ex-wife, nanny and his own children at gun point. He shot himself when police showed up
Is this based on a police report, a newspaper report, or the report from his father-in-law?

One day, his own son would face same plight. What hoes around would usually come around.

By then we will know if his son would be brave enough as he claim or stewpeed enough to kpain himself

givedemwotowoto:
I don’t want to speculate on whether $15,000 was outrageous or not because I don’t have all the information, but any man who pays child support should make 100% decision of what school his children go to, and what events and activities they’re enrolled in that cost money. That’s what every provider who is with their children do. That decision should not be made by the woman and forced on the man by the court. If the wife doesn’t agree, she can get a job and augment. The child belongs to the man too and he wants the best for them.

I know litigation costs a lot of money, but he could’ve appealed the decision rather than take the suicide route.

Update: I see some people think the family will be broke because of his exit, but that’s not usually the case, probably most men at his career level have insurance policies worth millions, often facilitated through their workplaces and/or private insurance, so the family should be fine financially.

Also, suicide doesn’t automatically void many life insurance policies, especially after the first year or two. I’m aware most policies exclude coverage for suicide within the first year or two
Life insurances do not cover suicides, the family would be claiming be cashing out a big fat zero insurance check.

Most Life insurance policies in the US cover suicide with something called an exclusion period, usually one or two years immediately after the policy starts.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]The father-in-law continues to justify the family's decision....I do not blame him.I blame the doctor, who remained in the United States after being sentenced. If I were the guy, I would relocate to a better country and continue my life.
Can you imagine paying $15,000 in child support? So him.The wife's contribution to her child is significant because they both own the child. There is no law that states that the father is solely responsible for a child's upbringing; it is the responsibility of both parents.
Because the guy is from Africa, he will not receive a fair trial.Imagine if the judge was a Black man...he or she might have been more considerate.

Mental health is a serious issue in other countries, and judges fail to consider all of these factors....I can unequivocally state that the in-law, his ex-wife, and the judge murdered the man as a result of the barbaric judgment....

Even with all of the nonsense that this in-law wrote on his Facebook, it is easy to conclude that these people conspired to frustrate the guy, and when the frustration became unbearable, he committed suicide...

Fiscus105:
Devil advocate read the pic attached! If indeed no access to kids, can't he go to same court that, her wife went, when she was looking for child support, to report her? Meanwhile, in Africa where there is no such laws, did they need to tell you before you give ex wife child's Support? If you are a rational human being?( Is that not what is happening mostly in our society zoo, in which father would divorce wife together with his children)


You guys would just sit down in a corner and conjure nonsense to defend ur gender/tribe. Yet you want society to safe from criminals from untrained kids.

NB. Person that carried gun to threaten/ held his own family hostage no matter the situation, can we say such man is a gentleman? Did you even imagine how such man would have be violence and subjected the wife to physical abuse while they were together?
Can we find the newspaper report of such action?

Maybe the police report?

Her father read the comments of Nigerian men slamming her daughter and he had to come out to set the records straight.
Which record has he set straight now? Does that erase the fact that he killed himself because of that huge 15k child support?

Do you know or have access to his life insurance? do you have an idea who the beneficiaries are? Also, Life insurance is not compulsory

The child support was not $15k but $1,900. The guy has mental problem. Good thing he killed himself only.

"He is not a victim but failed his son and daughter, who are now left without their father. I just thank God he did not shoot my daughter and grandchildren in his madness.

Which sane person takes his own life over money he is supposed to use to support his children? He was asked to pay child support, not alimony or spousal support, as my daughter is self-sufficient.”
Its sad this is coming from an in-law, imagine this statement, like are they waiting for the young man to do the unthinkable before he finally started saying his family can take care of the children left behind. So they can also take care of the children and have left all the weights for the man to bear, as he walked his darkest moments alone and later took his life.

The in-law is clearly showing The hatred they had for him all along. It shows in his statements. Then why coming to the public to clear which air. Too bad.

Most cardiologist don't make more than $250k to 400k per year, the deceased is not a veteran cardiologist(Minimum 10 years of practice) so he's probably on the lower end of that scale. Further, when you factor in taxation, the man might not even earn 25k per month, having such a person pay $15k per month as child support is DIABOLICAL! That's 60% or more of his net income!

What's even more diabolical is that he would pay this without having access to his kids....In no world is this fair, if he was truly a danger to his kids there would be a restraining order against him and criminal proceedings, let's stop typing and judging issues without empathy, remmber you could have a son or daughter in similar situation one day, hopefully he or she won't feel helpless to the point of kpaing him or herself!

The reason given is understandable, but I believe both him and his ex wife could've come to an agreeable amount .
You don't know how these exes with the legal system on their side usually make the life of their partners a hell. She would never reason with him. Would they even involve the court if it was possible for them to agree between themselves?
