The wife, whose name was given as Joke, is seeking the divorce over alleged lack of love, laziness and acts of irresponsibility on the part of her husband.
Joke, a civil servant, in her petition for divorce, said that her unemployed husband had refused to seek new employment since he lost his job years ago.

Her husband’s joblessness has made him insensitive to the family welfare.
“My husband does not beat me, but l go through psychological and verbal abuse in his hands every day. He is not appreciative of all my endeavours, embarrasses me at will and `talks down at me even in the public.”
“The emotional stress is unbearable; l pray the court to separate us so that I can live comfortably. He is lazy and frustrated, thereby transferring his aggression to everybody around him,” she added.
Joke’s husband did not object to the divorce. He also did not deny the allegations levelled against him by his wife.

He told the court that he stopped contributing to the welfare of the children’s upkeep three years ago because he had no job, adding that the petitioner was free to re-marry.
The court’s President, Mrs Ibironke Elabor, who advised the estranged couple to keep the peace, adjourned the suit until Feb. 20, for alternative dispute resolution.
