By Ex-Super Eagles Coach, Adeboye Onigbinde’s 30-year Marriage Finally Dissolved
Lack of love, presence of trouble and lavish spending have axed the 30 years of union between former Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde and Mrs Anne, who is now his former wife after Mapo Customary Court confirmed their separation.
It was gathered that Onigbinde approached the Court to dissolve his marriage to Mrs Anne after he alleged that her hunger for trouble and lavish spending lifestyle has brought him more pain that he can no longer endure at this old age.
Mr Ademola Odunade, President of the Customary Court after separating the couple instructed Chief Onigbinde to pay a cash of N5,000 to Mrs Anne to enable her move her belongings out of his house.
“My lord, with my 79 years of age, I cannot continue to die in the 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.
“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 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.
“For instance, when I lost my younger brother, Anne and her daughter refused to be sympathetic by registering any form of condolence. The list of her misbehaviour is endless, please terminate our union.”
In her reaction, Mrs Anne denied all the allegations levelled against her by Onigbinde. She disclosed that his ‘body language’ to her changed 10 years ago after he got married to a new wife. She revealed to the Court that it was not in their agreement to part ways in this manner and pleaded that her marriage be saved.
“My lord, it was never in our agreement to be parting ways in this manner.
“In the interest of the child between us, I have nowhere to go, please, help save my marriage,” Anne pleaded.
