CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 31-year old housewife, Lydia George Uwaru, has dumped her husband, Mr. Daniel Chinedu Nwaru, for depending on her for the feeding of family in Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the housewife, Lydia, got tired of the marriage, went to the Igando Customary Court for dissolution of the union and it was granted by the Court.

Lydia, a resident of No. 39 Funmi Alaka Street, Egan, Lagos, who works with an oil company said that her husband has abdicated his responsibility of caring for her and her children.
She said, “He is very lazy and he is not ready to do any work. When I complained about his idleness, he turned it to a fight. Thirdly, he does not appreciate all my efforts of providing for the family. Lastly, there is no more love between us”.
She said that the husband, Nwaru, usually assaulted her at the slightest provocation apart from the fact that he had not been living up to his responsibilities.

“Ever since we got married, I have been the one feeding the family, paying the rent, and the child’s school fees” she said.
According to her, she made several efforts to engage her estranged husband but all the monies she raised for him went down the drain.
“I want the Court to dissolve the marriage, so that I can start a new life and take care of myself and our child since my husband is not ready to do any work and I want the Court to grant me the custody of my child” she submitted.
The respondent, the husband, did not appear in Court.
The President of the Court, Barrister Koledoye Festus Adeniyi, granted the prayers of the petitioner and pronounced the marriage dissolved while granting the custody of the only child to the petitioner until she attained the age of maturity.
