Mr Caleb Oluwafisibe, a 70-year old pastor appealed with an Ojo Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 41-year old marriage with his wife, Titilayo, because he was sex starved.
He made a statement saying:
He made a statement saying:
“Since I married my wife in June 1975, it’s been marriage and separation in two phases because any situation was determined by what I could offer. “We were living well until 1998 when things became tough with me. We separated from 1998 to 2006, when my church transferred me out to the East,’’He also said that his wife had a negative influence on his children as they had divergent views on their welfare and training. They always clashed because of them.He said that his wife refused him sex from 2006 till date and that forced him to practice a life of celibacy, in order to keep his vows as a man of God. “I even had a special prayer for my wife for three years to see if God would intervene in the difficult situation and change her personality,’’ he said. Oluwafisibe, therefore, pleaded with the court to separate their union, so he could move on with his life.
Finally, the Court president, Mrs Veronica Willoughby, in her opinion urged the pastor to consider his status as a man of God. she said:
“As a pastor, you should seek peace and not separation. I will give you a second chance to go back and reconsider your intention. “You have both failed in the training of your children by using them as a point of disagreement. Your children are your collective responsibilities,’’
