This man needs a child of his own but his wife has not been able to
conceive, for 12 years. So, he decided to play an "away-match" just to
confirm if his "thing" is really active or it's inactive.
Funny, but it is the situation in the family of Mr & Mrs Onuoha, who
reside in the Alakuko area of Lagos at the moment. From what
Cubaze Mykelz' Blog gathered, the wife is insisting that she can't take it.
40yrs old Mrs. Regina Onuoha, an ex-banker, has pleaded with Alakuko
Customary Court to dissolve her marriage with Mr. Paulinus Onuoha, over
infidelity.
The couple has been married for 12 years without an issue. The wife’s
claim in court was that there was no more love in their marriage as her
husband had become so irresponsible and uncaring.
Regina told the court that since they got married, she had been the one
taking care of the house, her husband had been jobless. She said she
rented the apartment they both live in, but with all that, her husband
was still cheating on her.
She said the worst of all he did was the fact that he impregnated a
woman twice while she (the wife) was still praying for the fruit of the
womb.
“I was hopeful after the marriage that I
was going to have my own child. I spent all my money on the efforts to
have a child, but my husband never cared.
“Four years into our marriage, my husband
impregnated a woman and then four years later, he impregnated her again,
making two children while I was hoping to have one,” she said.
She added that when her father-in-law died, her husband asked her to
give him N300,000, but she told him she didn’t have so much, that she
could only afford N120,000.
“I couldn’t afford the N300,000 my husband asked me to give him but I
gave him N120,000 for his father’s burial, but he asked me not to follow
him to the burial, saying I didn’t need to be there.
“He did this just to prevent me from running into his other wife and
children because he took them to the village for the occasion and he
thought I wouldn’t know, but I gathered the information from someone in
his village,” she said.
She asked the court to tell her husband to come and pack his things
away from her house as she is tired of the marriage because she didn’t
have any love for him again.
Her husband, Onuoha, who claimed to be a trader, told the court that all
that his wife said is true, and that he is very guilty, but he didn’t
mean to hurt her. He prostrated to seek her forgiveness in court.
“
I didn’t mean to impregnate the other
woman, it was just that I needed to have a child with my wife and we
couldn’t produce one, so I went out to test my fertility, to know
whether I was or was not fertile enough to have a child,” he said.
He added that he was ready to change his behaviour and take care of his
wife as he would assist her spiritually, financially and even physically
in her effort to have her own children.
“
I cannot even be sure or say that the
other woman’s children are mine because in my tradition, if a woman is
not married to a man and she has children for him, the children are not
considered his until a proper traditional marriage is done. It is my
wife I love, she’s the one I want to have a child with, please help me
to beg her,” he said.
The court president, Mr. Godwin Awosola, told the man to seek God’s
intervention over his home. He also told them to maintain the peace and
stop abusing each other.
