Lagos
(AFP) - A Nigerian court granted a 57-year-old man a divorce after
hearing that his wife often brought his meals to him too late in the
evening, local media reported on Thursday.
A court in
Lagos heard that Olufade Adekoya was at the end of his tether after
Olusola, his spouse of 25 years, refused to serve him when he demanded,
the Vanguard national daily said.
"My wife had failed in her
matrimonial obligations. She does not prepare my food on time and I have
warned her several times, but she would not listen to me," he was
quoted as saying."There is no point in harbouring a wife that makes me hungry. I am totally fed up," Adekoya told the hearing, for which the paper gave no date.
His wife denied the alleged dereliction, accusing her husband of plotting to take another wife.
But court president Olu Adebiyi reportedly dissolved the unhappy union, concluding: "The court had tried several times to reconcile their differences, but all efforts proved abortive."
