Court Dissolves 30-Year-Old Marriage Of Former Super Eagles Coach, Onigbinde

A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan has dissolved the 30-year-marriage between Chief Adegboye Onigbinde and his wife, Anne. President of the court, Mr. Ademola Odunade, directed Onigbinde to, “pay a cash sum of N5, 000 to enable Anne to move her belongings out of his house.” .

The former Super Eagle Technical Adviser had gone to the court, asking it to dissolve the marriage, saying his wife was, “a wasteful spender and an unrepentant troublemaker. .

Onigbinde told the court, “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 veritable business ventures for her and on each occasion, Anne wrecked the business. 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 that daughter against me because she doesn’t take any instruction from me. .

Anne is now a bad influence on the daughter and she doesn’t even have any good relationship with the rest of my children. The list of her misbehaviour is endless, please terminate our union.” .

Anne had, however, opposed the request for divorce and denied all the allegations leveled against her by Onigbinde. “My lord, 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. In the interest of the child between us, I have nowhere to go, please, help save my marriage,” Anne pleaded to no avail.
