queensmith: It's funny you should say that, but it's actually the low to middle income guys that have the most to worry about. Imagine a low income guy having to pay two sets of rent/mortgage (one for the family house which he has been kicked out of and the other for his own accommodation). The rich guy just suffers a bruised ego from having to forfeit some of his £millions. The poor guy on the other hand is just sent deeper into poverty. |

^^ then you shouldnt be arguing against this womans case- it makes no sense for a rich man to pay the same alimony as a poor one. Simples! I agree someone shouldnt be thrown into poverty as a result of divorce, thats tough ,but someone has to bare the cost and better the man than the public, |

queensmith: This is where the argument starts getting mixed up. Denying her the benefit of half his assets is not the same as saying he should pay her the same alimony as a poor man! |

Sagamite:seriously o. . If she aint signing a pre-nup then let her take a long walk to oblivion, most of these women are facking hustlers and you blame jigger for those immortal lines that aptly captures the mentality of majority of the women that hang around them: Big Pimping "Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs Divorce him and split his bucks Just because you got good head, I'ma break bread so you can be livin it up? Shit I, parts with nothin, y'all be frontin Me give my heart to a woman? Not for nothin, never happen I'll be forever mackin" little wonder he got Beyonce to sign a prenup with very moderate compensations and pre-conditions to protect himself. At least nobody is talking about splitting his Bucks. Tiger woods, Michael Jordan, Kobe and co are pu$$ies. Rappers know how to protect their money way better than ballers and movie stars. |

^^^ To show you how completely foolish and useless the laws are, Jay Z still had to get a pre-nup with Beyonce, a woman who is already a millionaire. Why does a man have to be put in that position? So even if you marry a rich woman, as long as you are richer than she is, she is still entitled to your money in a divorce? Na wa o! |

A girl shared the story of her brother with me Her brother was a Nigerian immigrant into America, Got married to an African American woman The man worked his asss out and lived the American dream bought a very big house in Olympia field Chicago Where the rich and mighty lived, They had a daughter. After a while the wife who was a low earner got bored and filed for divorce. She was awarded the house under the pretext that she was used to such luxury and she brought her fellow Akata boyfriend into the house who was a barber and the man had to go rent a condo or live with friends while still paying mortagage on his big house The court told him he can only visit his daughter like twice a month. The house is in a gated community Sometime after calling the wife that he is coming to visit, He would be outside the gate community for 1 hour waiting before the new boyfriend would drive his range rover with his wife to bring the girl to him. At a time the man said he felt like killing both of them and going to jail, it was his mom who restrained him and told him that if theres life, theres hope. Because of his earning as a big Investment banker in Chicago, He was paying almost 10k in Child supprt which the wife and new Boyfriend would take vacations on. It was the mans boss a white man who was privy to all of these that told him to resign instead of paying all you work for to the woman and her boyfriend to live on He resigned, relocated to another state got a lesser job. This is a man who strived hard in his twenties and 30's to live his dream, While his mates were partying he was busting his asss at the best Business school in the World - UChicago just to live his dream and retire rich. Now he is in his mid 40's and lost everything just because he married. |

dayokanu: If I was the one, this one is easy. I would get an investment banking job in Nigeria, Amsterdam, Paris, Hong Kong, London, Dubai or whatever. Many of my contemporaries in IB or from Booth should be able to hook me up. Leave the country, stop paying the mortgage. Let the house be repossessed, the ex would get the change left over when the bank take their principal and interest. I would not send any money, let her use that significant change to raise the child. I would not see the child until the child is 18. I would only try and keep in touch with the child on the net when they are of age. Fact: Even if a parent abandons the child, the child will always want to know the parent and would seek the parent. They will seek the love and will be willing to forget anything just to get to know who they came from. She WOULD come and look for me, and I will accept her with open arms and reconnect, explaining the dilemma. By that time I would have the money I have been putting aside for her college fund ready. Maybe even money to send her to an academic boot camp. Believe me, it is the mother that would lose. When you are stewpid (not signing a pre-nup after being an IBer from Booth), you have to know when you have lost. Just limit your loss instead of keep losing. |

Such a sad story Dayokanu. i wouldn't care abt someone's money. if i'm leaving you, i will take my kids with me and good raddiance. if you are stinking rich like the man in the OP intro, then i prefer we settle amicable. Foreign court are mostly on a woman's side. Nigerian men should play safe all the time and settle with their women. gra gra no dey for oyinbo court, it goes by the law book. |

Claus: your the one that started it, the payments still have to be relative- a man being kicked out of his home and paying double mortgages is paying more than a millionaire thats just trying to be smart. sha sha- 2 million, 20million 2 very different amounts, it's not right. He should pay up immediately. |

Sagamite: Don't think so. Since the advent of "no-fault" divorce, you don't have to have a reason and there is no concept of a "faultee" so to speak. So whatever the cause, whoever the initiator, the rulings are pretty much the same. You all know how the story goes. |

pro01:Pro, Jigga is still Jigga, homeboy still has his street smarts intact. He made Bey sign a prenup whose benefits are all conditional and little far-fetched for a self-obsessed star like Bey. For a millionaire of Jigga's standing, the prenup does not give Bey up to $30million in the worst case scenerio of their divorce. The guy smart die jare. And you wonder why rappers in particular call these females Biatches?? And rarely stay trapped in any marriage no matter how pretty you are. They will rather make a babymomma outta your a$s. . .lol Go and tell sombori like fiddy to split his buck in half for you na. . .lol |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Nobody: 10:47am On Feb 29, 2012 |
rhymz: Lol. Seems Jay-Z is only role-playing then, with all the lovey-dovey media circus with Bey. I never knew he even signed a pre-nup cos I assumed that with Bey's fabulous personal wealth, she'd never even attempt to grab a chunk of Jigga's fortune If only fools like Kobe Bryant were wise enough to know that common sense outlasts the fickle emotion called 'love', there'd have been no need for Drake to drop the following empathetic line on Rick Ross's 'Stay Schemin' track: “Kobe bout to lose 150 M’s. Kobe my nigga. I hate it had to be him. B*tch, you wasn’t wit me shootin in the gym" |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Sagamite(m): 11:33am On Feb 29, 2012 |
I am sorry, this is a DAFT prenup: "The prenup calls for Jay Z to pay Beyonce $10 million if the marriage ends after 2 years, and $1 million a year for each further year she remains in the marriage, up to 15 years , He promised to pay her an additional $5 million for each child she bears for him - for her loss of income during the pregnancy and child rearing years , And Beyonce would be granted access to their private jet and fleet of cars, which includes a $1 million 1959 Rolls-Royce convertible." $10m for what? $25m max for what? Why does she not pay him that for him marrying her? She has more than enough money to live large on, I would not pay her a DIME! We leave with what we came with and earned. Giving money in prenup is only for a situation where I feel the ex-wife might be impoverished after divorce or being an extended housewife hence not making money/has a damaged career, not when she is working and making her own significant sums. This prenup just shows he is saying he is taking the fault for any marriage failure before the marriage even begins. $5m for the child is shaky to me. I understand the loss of income but I am not too sure about child rearing. If he is contributing lets say $2m a year per child to child rearing, what is her contribution to the child rearing? Abi no be dem pikins? Surely they are not his alone, that would be confirmed when the courts award her custody. The only thing there is that maybe she makes more than $5m a year. |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Claus(m): 12:11pm On Feb 29, 2012 |
^^^ There's no greater indictment of the divorce laws than the fact that a woman worth $100m can still claim a substantial amount from an ex-husband over and above his share of child rearing costs and compensation for her lost earnings. |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Sagamite(m): 12:38pm On Feb 29, 2012 |
Claus: That is the fact I have been arguing and it takes some sagacity to pin point such. Then you have obese skank saying some men whose combined intelligence is not up the level of intelligence on my pinky fingernails. These are daft laws. It is not in the best interest of the child, it is merely the state's political-tool & thuggery of robbing one party on behalf of another. |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by rhymz(m): 12:50pm On Feb 29, 2012 |
Sagamite:well, you have a point but it appears in this case it is Jay that just wants to do it, perhaps to show his love for Bey but in a way that does not leave him like a ravaged kitten. |
Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by Sagamite(m): 1:25pm On Feb 29, 2012 |
rhymz: True! But I think it is just evidence of the subliminal effect of such laws on men in the West. When they have been bashed and brainwash in divorces they start thinking I should do this and that because I am or would be at fault. Rubbish rants like this add to that effect: "She gave him the best years of her life". "She had kids for him". "It is wealth made due to and during the union". "She is entitled to half". "He would not be successful if not for her contribution to his life and a stable home". "In the best interest of the child". "She is used to the lifestyle". Each is utter cretinous tosh! |

You know Marvin Gaye has a statement from a song of his-When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You, the statement goes:''You say you loved me with all of your heart/But if you ever loved me with all of your heart/You'd never take $1m to part, All of those promises was nothing but lies''. |

Re: Nigerian Billionaire Battles British Wife Over $21million Divorce Payout by TV01(m): 6:12pm On Feb 29, 2012 |
Marriage as a proposition has changed significantly in recent times. One of the downsides for the “wealthier party” – typically men – can be serious financial loss, possibly leading to severe hardship for all but the quite well off. With the introduction of “no-fault” divorce and laws designed to “ensure the best interest of any children” – which invariably benefits the “primary carer”, a role for the most part presumptuously awarded to the mother – men are also in danger of losing out on a significant role in raising their children. Many on this thread are looking at “Nups” as the solution, be that pre or post. And doubtless, with a little creativity, I’m sure we could well see nups evolve into a fully-fledged (and tradable?) financial instrument. The primary driver behind this approach being to limit the financial downside of divorce. I beg to differ. And for a whole host of reasons; 1. Even if nups were perfectly legal and enforceable, they’d still have to be agreed by the parties. What woman in this day and age would not insist on minimum and potentially scaled (if Daddy hits pay dirt at any point) financial payments for “her kids”. Is anyone left in doubt as to the position the “law” will take on this? 2. It doesn’t speak to a potentially more costly issue – emotionally and financially – of access to the children 3. It doesn’t address or challenge the true motivation behind some of the weird political and legal maneuvering. In fact, it plays right into it’s hands per 1. above 4. An even greater reason – and without touching on 4. above - it doesn’t address root issues, such as the nature, benefits and understanding of marriage. Rebalancing and reclaiming it for the key, most basic and ultimately most important societal building block it is. The family. 5. Marriage is not a business transaction Let me start form point 5. First. Many of the discussions here typically focus on rich (celeb) type situations, which to be honest are far from the typical “garden variety” divorce. As has been rightly pointed out, how many – if any – of the discussants here are any better than comfortably well off? And even if you are, a messy and acrimonious divorce can make road-kill of even the most comfortable lifestyle. Not to mention the physical and emotional costs. Anyone reading will have heard of the “broken men” and the “estranged and wayward children”. Very real possibilities for your ordinary Joe in the event of divorce. To treat marriage or any part of it “transactionally” is to divorce - excuse the pun - it from its true worth and meaning and strip it of much of it’s value. In fact, it would be more honest to treat it as a “transaction” end-to-end, which to be honest is what a lot of people do anyway. Merely adding some spiritual and social content at the front-end, then using the courts to reap the profit at close. Honest end-game here would be a situation (and if I recall there has been one, involving a rich celeb no less) where having kids and providing for their upkeep were based on a pre-agreed legal contract. Is that really what we want? More later if time permits, but I welcome comment on the little I’ve posted. Best TV |
