Former Super Eagles coach Adegboye Onigbinde has finally gotten the freedom he so craves after a Customary Court sitting in Mapo, Ibadan dissolved his 30-year-old marriage.
The former Eagle’s coach had approached the court seeking a divorce over irreconcilable differences also claiming that his wife Anne was a troublemaker.
While Anne had sought for the marriage to continue, Onigbinde had pleased to the court to prevent him from “dying in silence”
He said; “My lord, with my 79 years of age, I cannot continue to die in silence of Anne’s litany of problems. Among many other troubles I have encountered in the hands of Anne, I have also suffered uncountable financial losses during the process of trying to give Anne means of livelihood so that she wouldn’t be idle.
“On three separate occasions, I have established business ventures for her and on each occasion, Anne wrecked the businesses. I can’t continue in such wastage. For many years, Anne has been a thorn in my flesh through ceaseless trouble-making as it is one day, one trouble in my home. Can you imagine that it was not until only one week to the wedding ceremony of the only daughter she had with me that she informed me? In fact, Anne has openly turned her daughter against me because she doesn’t take any instructions from me.”
He added that even when his younger brother died there was no sympathy from Anne or her daughter,
Anne on her part, argued that things changed when he married another wife about a decade ago, saying since then she had been unable to please her husband.
“In the interest of the child between us, I have nowhere to go, please, help save my marriage. I have done everything possible to please my husband, but he is refusing to be pacified. Ever since he got married to another wife 10 years ago, things have changed from bad to worse, as I no longer know how to do things in his presence. My lord, it was never in our agreement to be parting ways in this manner.” she said
