‘He now realises I smell after investing fortunes on him’

Firstclass newsline~I got married to my husband when he had nothing. I
fed him, clothed him. I bought two buses for him for commercial use;
he sold one and kept the money from me.
"I always gave him my ATM cards, so he could withdraw my money at
will. I loved him passionately. I leaned on the promises he made to me
not knowing that they were all fake," a 28-year-old woman told an
Orile Agege customary court, adding that she wanted her six-year-old
marriage terminated over desertion and adultery.
Mrs Maria Igbaji, who lives at 10, Oyewole Road, Orile Agege, said,
"all the money he realised from the transport business, he kept it
away from me.
"While I was busy providing for the upkeep of the house, he was busy
saving the money he realised from the business.
"I was so blindly in love that I could not see that this man is a gold
digger and that he was out to ruin me completely."
The mother of one said her husband told her in December 2011 to go to
her village for Christmas not knowing that he had another plan.
"My husband told me to go my village in December 2011 for Christmas.
After the festive period, he called me to say I should not to come to
Lagos yet, because he wanted to pay for another accommodation for us.
"When it was almost a month after he called me and I didn't hear
anything from him again, I came to Lagos without telling him. But to
my amazement, I found another woman in the house.
"My husband told me that he didn't love me anymore and that I was now
stinking. Since then, he abandoned me and our child at home and left
for an unknown place.
"I still love him but I cannot force him on me but before I leave him,
he should settle me for all I went through while trying to please
him." Maria, in tears, said she wished she could draw back the hands
of time, and wished it never happened.
Mr Benjamin Igbaji, 35, a business man who lives at Echura Estate,
Banana Island, B8, told the court that he left the house because his
wife wanted to control him.
"She nags a lot, she does not listen to me, she accuses me wrongly,
she always wants to do what pleases her and not what I want.
"It is true she assisted me in my business and I repaid her by showing
true love to her but she is just too hard for my liking.
"I left the house because of her trouble, I don't love her anymore and
I can't change my mind about that. I want her to leave my house and go
back to her parents house,"he said.
Meanwhile, the court president, Mr Joseph Adewusi, adjourned the case
till May 26 for judgment.
