And these news keep making marriage less desirable to some of us— to think that you wake up oneday and call it over with someone have loved, lived with for fourteen good years with four children is painstaking if you ask me.

Nollywood veteran actor, Emeka Ike and wife has officially divorced after the latter Emma in 2015 asked the court to dissolve her marriage on grounds of physical abuse. 

Emeka is said to have asked for dissolution of the  marriage at the back of he not believing in divorces. Awos Awosola, president of the court however granted request yesterday, March 2, 2017.

Delivering judgement, the president of the court said:

“Emeka, who has been begging to be reconciled with his wife, has not made any effort towards the reconciliation. The marriage is hereby dissolved with effect from March 2, in accordance with the Lagos State Customary Court Law, 2011; Order 3 Rule 7 as amended.

Any party that is not satisfied with the judgement has the right to appeal to any court of higher jurisdiction within 30 days from today’’.
