My Husband Refuses To Work Divorce Court Told As Man Says It’s ‘No Money, No Love’

A divorce-seeking trader, Mrs Florence Ideye, on Tuesday told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State that  her husband, Victor, has refused to work in the past 10 years.

The husband, however, countered that his wife’s relationship with him was conditioned on ‘no money, no love.’

Florence also alleged that Victor liked smoking and quarrels.

The  resident of No. 26, Giwa Onilu St., Ijegun, Lagos State, added that there was no love anymore between them.

She alleged that Victor had failed to take up his responsibilities as a husband and father.

Florence said that Victor had  been relying on his younger brother, a footballer, to take care of his family.

“Sadly, his brother has cut us off, saying  he can no longer bear the burden.

“He (Victor)  said he wanted to travel out, and because of that, he sold his equipment then as a mechanic. Till date he is still expecting that he would travel  and  has refused to work.

“He will send our children to buy cigarettes and  sachet hot drinks. Engaging the children to buy those things makes me uncomfortable.

“I am fed up, I have since moved  to my father’s place,” she said.

Responding, Victor said that he had worked as a driver with a primary school for four years and  was paid N15,000 monthly.

He said  that his relationship with his children had been cordial, adding that he spent money sent by his brother on  his family.

“Once, she was robbed and she didn’t work for six months. I was the one doing everything, my brother even sent her N650,000 to assist, yet she is complaining,

“I have opened up to five shops for her and set her up in different businesses. Everything came to a stop when my brother stopped sending money.

“I know what she is trying to say is: `No money, no love.”’ he said.

The Court President, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned until Oct. 11 for judgment. (NAN)
