Wash Her Clothes, Carry Out Other House Chores, But She Still Denies Me Sex —Husband
•He calls himself breadwinner but gets mad when I ask him for money for bread
“All he knows to do is to brag that he’s head of the home and breadwinner. As a breadwinner he has never for once fed the home with bread. Ask him for just a dime and he gets mad and loses control of himself, swearing and cursing under his breath.”
“She denies me sex despite washing her clothes and assisting her with other house chores. My lord, despite all these, I still love her.”
These were some of the hot exchanges between a couple, Roimotu Omole and Kehinde Omole, at the Oja Oba/Mapo Court C Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Roimotu, who dragged her husband to court, alleged that he had turned her into a drum he beats every moment. She added that he had totally failed as the breadwinner while she now played the role of both father and mother to their only child.
The plaintiff further in her suit told the court that she can’t bear the hardship any longer and therefore prayed the court to end their marriage so that she can move on with her life.
Kehinde, who although admitted to a part of the allegation against him, told the court he still loves his wife and wanted their differences ironed out.
The court president, Chief Ademola Odunade, giving his judgment ended their union.
He handed over the only child in their marriage, a five-year-old, to the plaintiff for adequate care and instructed the defendant to be responsible for his feeding by giving a stipulated amount of N5,000 per month through the court.
He was also to be in charge of his education and welfare.
“My lord, all my husband knows to do is to beat me. He has turned me into a drum he beats every moment.
“He’s the most irresponsible man I have ever come across. He brags that he’s the head of the home but dodges all responsibilities tied to the position.
“My lord, as a breadwinner he has not for once fed the home with bread. I have continuously bore the burden of his responsibilities like a cross.
“Our marriage is blessed with only just a child but he still finds it a herculean task looking after his welfare. He has never contributed a dime towards his wellbeing. Whenever I make a request from him with regards to our child’s upkeep, he complains, swears and curses under his breath.
“As of today, I’m both father and mother to our child because he is not just there. In addition to sourcing food for my family, I see to it that our son is not sent out of school by striving to pay his school fees.
“Being a stubborn fellow he has refused to see reason or change from his irresponsible ways.
“My lord, I’m no longer interested in continuing with my husband in our marriage. My mind is made up, I’m opting out today,” she stated.
Reacting to the allegations, Kehinde said: “My lord, though more than half of what my wife said are lies, I admit that I’m stubborn.
“I, hereby, state before the court that I’m a responsible and reliable man.
“I do what most men will never do in their homes. I assist my wife in washing her clothes and likewise carry out other house chores.
“But she gets me mad by constantly returning home late from work. I have warned her against this but she keeps giving me excuses.
“After helping out with her duties at home, one would expect that she would express her gratitude by treating me to rounds of sex at night but unfortunately that is not the case. My lord, she will turn her back to me in bed and lay like a log of wood. She had regularly denied me sex which is the major reason we fight.
“But my lord, despite her short comings, I still love her and pray that our differences be settled.”
Dem two yah deserve each odda.
