This man needs a child of his own but his wife has not been able
conceive, for 12 years now. So, he decided to play an "away-match" just
to confirm if his "thing" is active or inactive.
Funny, but it's
current situation in the family of Mr & Mrs Onuoha, who reside in
the Alakuko area of Lagos at the moment. From what HmmNaija.Com
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.
The case has been adjourned till August 17, 2013, for appraisal.
