All the facts are not stated. Like the judge said he has higher earnings potential. More than likely married a trophy wife and hooked her up to the good life, they were living in 7 million pound mansion. You really want us to believe he is worth just 3million? Someone that hasn't worked since 2004 yet maintaining the lavish lifestyle. The guy is a crook and sharper than he is trying to appear. As harsh as it is, he probably has more money than he is revealing to the court. 2 Likes |

Hahaha, I dey laugh o, like Baba Sege. A fool and his money is easily parted. What did he expect before venturing into the state sanctioned legal enslavement christened marriage, even moreso without acceding to a pre-nup. The institution called marriage is nothing but a humbug designed to tyrannize, enthral and limit human's unflinched right to freedom, independence and social liberty. It's scripted to be lopsided on both sides and financially advantageous to women. What is more depressing is the fact that Western liberal left politicians keeps pandering to women's demand for higher alimony defrayals. The idea that one party has to forfeit a huge chunk of their hard earned wealth to another, is obdurate, cruel and despicable in all ramifications. For fvck sake a man's acquisition is theirs and shouldn't be tempered with even after a divorce. This is a clear act of banditry and must be condemned by not only the male folk but by everyone who believes in justice and fair play. After a split everyone should move on with their individual assets and the only hinged interest should be the welfare of the kids. For humanity sake, no be me born you. Whoever enacted alimony legislation must have been mentally imbalanced and a p*ssy. What a sick world we dwell in. 5 Likes 1 Share |

baby124: Thats what I thought Meanwhile the 7 million property wasn't mentioned in the settlement. Who got the property? Him or her? I am almost sure that he tried to pull a fast one on her and she went and got the best lawyers in town to fight her case and she got more than she initially asked for. Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned BTW this happened in 2009 and Ive read more on the story thanks to google He actually resigned from his job in 2004 . . claiming he was fed up of the lavish lifestyle and wanted to downsize Who does that? He probably deliberately resigned so that he wont have to pay a big divorce settlement . . who knows ![]() The man is not straight forward sha and he met his match. 4 Likes |

Sagamite: Before or during the marriage? If most of the money made was after the marriage, does she still walk away with nothing? meanwhile the majority of women marry broke and up and coming men and most of the money is made during the marriage So if I marry a young struggling graduate and I come with my suitcase to his studio flat and I am a housewife looking after the home on agreement by us both while he goes to work and he climbs to the top of his career if we divorce after 10 years do I only leave with my suitcase? 3 Likes |

babygirlfl: just checked Halle Berry and it wasn't mentioned that she paid spousal support, which is is more expensive. Abrahimovic, Chelsea owner paid half is fortune to his wife when they got divorced. that's billions of dollar. Mel Gibson and the rest of them paid huge sums not only in child support, but also in spousal support. Halle Berry wasn't even asked to pay spousal support, she was asked to pay child support which is just about 20,000 dollar compared to her 4.7m dollar a year income. and she already complained she already feels like she is paying enough money that can fund NASA. she can't do a tenth of what men have always done. this is the equality you guys want, so face it. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Sagamite:it doesnt require a high school certificate to know that if you want to do as you please you simply go back to where you came from where rules in society are close to non-existent. I do not know why people relocate to civilised countries and expect them to operate in an uncivilised manner they have always been used to. Its as simple as this; 1. If you are not the type to be loyal, stay away from marriage. The world will not stop because you are unmarried. 2. When you get married you have a choice to marry in community of property or out of community of property. You also have a choice to have a post-nuptial contract. Its by choice not by force. 3. You can stick to being single, have bastards and only stick to child support if you feel spousal support will be a nightmare. No one will die because you do not have a wife. Stop acting like people do not have choices. These choices will have consequences favourable and unfavourable. Its as simple as that. 7 Likes |

Sagamite, please drop this topic now. You parsing of it is incomplete and irretrievably biased. And why the fixation on divorce? At best, divorce is a bad end to a good thing – why not focus on making the good thing better? Moreso when you are not actually married? Why ponder on the out before you actually get in. It’s like a na.ked man planning how to un.dress, or a homeless one planning colour schemes ![]() Your reductionist approach to marriage – making it a mere contract/transactional arrangement totally misses the point. As does your totally legalistic perspective. The fact that marriage is these days, legally codified, does not make it a legal construct in the first instance, nor place ownership within the gift of State. Many traditional/religious marriages are more akin to covenant relationships. A joining at the spiritual, physical and material levels – especially with the single most important imprimatur of marriage in mind – children. Even in modern times; here is an excerpt from the wedding of HRH William and Kate Middleton; Prince William takes the ring and places it upon the fourth finger of Catherine's left hand Prince William says after the Archbishop: With this ring I thee wed; with my body I thee honour; and all my worldly goods with thee I share: in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Such vows and the unions they enjoin are far removed from the anaemic, legalistic, transactional based arrangement that pre-occupies you. In truth, you simply don’t get it. And that is the whole point - entry should be with the utmost sobriety, with the thought of anything other than a natural conclusion to the union being anathema. And remember, marriage is not forced; you can opt for living apart with no legal codification (boyfie/girlfie), co-habbing, a civil union, or civil marriage in a jurisdiction that allows pre-nups. Your railing against marriage – or pain at divorce - is utterly pointless. Re-frame and focus on the point of entry, and who you enter with, as opposed to the particulars of a tragic exit. Or simply refrain. Yes, it does appear in this case that a crusty old feminist judge went to town on him, but that is not about marriage. I wonder what he was actually marrying her for ![]() Now, sorry to bother you, but how far? The rice crop is in, and I’m hungry and ready to party. No one throws down like the Ijebu. Please stop denying some young lady the chance to realise her dreams – hopefully of marriage, not of divorce ![]() TV mindfulness, see, I distubute refrain equally - in fact, moreso to men ![]() 4 Likes 1 Share |

tearoses: Both. She gets what she brings into the marriage and what she made in the marriage. If most of the money is made during the marriage, she gets what she puts in as one portion. The other portion is she gets compensation for the agreement which would be based on range calculation based on her true earning potential after considering what she has done and achieved before the agreement. So if you are an air hostess, you will be compensated by Dangote based on the earning lost by giving up on your hostess career, not compensated as a cement magnate. Pure common sense. If I have an accident with my car and can't work, I am compensated by my Income Insurance based on my true potential earning loss, not by the market value of my insurance company. |

There is some utility they are benefiting from marriage, so if that happens to them it is okay. If they sign it, then if that happens, then that is their fault and we should accept it that way.

tearoses:Yes he is not straightforward. I think most judges factor in the fact that these men have hidden away more than half their net worth in offshore accounts. They go through their history of income when determining these issues and one can easily figure out when some information is missing. So they decide to give the women half of what is visible. Women also are too emotional. They can like to give warning ahead of divorce. Then the man has time to rearrange himself. We need to look at where that man is now, since 2009. I am sure he is more than ok. He let her have what he wanted to give her.
