In other news, A Nigerian pastor, identified as Iniobong Obot, advised men without a stable source of income or a job not to get married.

The clergyman took to Facebook to dish out this advice to single men, stating that an unemployed man should focus on getting a sustainable job instead of marriage.

According to him, financial stability is very crucial in marriages because a man who can’t provide for his family is worse than an infidel.

He wrote;

“As a man if you don’t have something that is giving you daily or monthly income, At this point what you are looking for is not wife but work. Leave spiritual aside, understand what is priority in life, because a man who can’t provide for his own house is worst than infidel.”

He narrated that the Herbalist died on top of the respondent while having sexual intercourse in a hotel at Ikere-Ekiti on 2nd January 2023, which led to a commotion and made thugs to destroy his house and his church at Ikere.

Separation Of Family With Broken House On Reflective Background

He lamented that her action led to his suspension by his Church authority and because of this, he is no longer interested in the union and pleaded with the Court to dissolve the union and give him custody of his children.

Mrs. Ajagunigbala, in response, admitted having sexual relationship with the late herbalist. She stated that her relationship with the Herbalist was because of lack of care from the petitioner. She said that she had been the one responsible for the feeding of the children and their school fees. She claimed that she had incurred so much debt, which the late Ejiogbe helped her to offset.

Pastor Ajagunigbala, the petitioner, was directed by the Court to assume complete responsibility for the well-being and schooling of the two youngest children resulting from the union, as they are still minors.

The President of the Court, Mr. Joseph Oyedele, while declaring judgment on the matter, held that there was no legal customary marriage between the two of them, adding that they are free to go their separate ways.

“Having gone through all the oral evidence presented before this Court, it was discovered that there was no legal customary marriage between parties herein and there is no marriage available between parties to dissolve.

The Court hereby order that the parties are now free to go on their own without disturbing the peace of each other.

On the issue of the custody of the children, the Court can only order on the last two children of the marriage because they are yet to reach the age of majority. The first two children are free to decide under whose care they can live between the two parties because they are no longer minors.”

However, the Court order that the last two children of the association (Olarewaju and Victoria Ajagunigbala) are to be with the petitioner and the petitioner is to be responsible for their welfare and education,”

“All men cheat, but the answer is not to cheat back” – Rapper, Blueface advises women (Video)

American rapper Johnathan Jamall Porter, professionally known as Blueface, has asserted that all men cheat.

The rapper made this assertion on Wednesday, April during an interview on Rap TV, where he spoke about his career, relationships, and discussed infidelity in relationships.

According to him, every man has at one point or another cheated on his significant other.

“Let me break it down for you, every man you’ve ever been with has cheated on you. Whether they are going to tell you, whether you find out after, before, whenever. They have stepped out of the relationship.

Even the guy you are with now. He’s cheating on you. I guarantee it. It’s just a manly thing. Men are hunters. We go hunt. We’re not going to tell you everything we’ve knocked down, everything we’ve hunted. Be realistic.” He said.

He added that a man can cheat and still be loyal to his woman as long as he is providing.

His words,

“I don’t think cheating and loyalty are in the same bracket. It’s a moment of vulnerability. I think loyalty is more of, ‘I’m always going to make sure you’re straight, mentally, financially. I could be with a woman right now. If I make sure you’re straight, I consider that loyalty.”

After his interview went viral, he took to Twitter to advise women on how to make their cheating partners change. He noted that although all men cheat, it’s a woman’s responsibility to make her partner realize that it’s not worth it.

“The answer is not to cheat back, ladies. The answer is to be as solid as possible to THE man that’s WORTH compromising for which will win him over emotionally. You can get a man to stop cheating by making him FEEL/realize it’s not worth it, but once upon a time he has cheated 100%.” He wrote in part.
