Maria Adoga's marriage to Moses has been a tumultuous one, marked by his alleged abuse and abandonment. The housewife, who is seeking a divorce, claims that her husband's behavior has left her and their three children in a precarious situation. According to Adoga, Moses's love for alcohol has led to violent outbursts, causing her to sustain multiple injuries. She also alleges that he has abandoned their home for weeks at a time, leaving her to care for their children alone.
Adoga's decision to seek a divorce has been a long time coming, as she claims that Moses's behavior has worsened over the years. She has asked the court to grant her custody of their children and to provide her with a monthly allowance for their upkeep. The case has been adjourned, with Moses's response that he and Adoga are working to resolve their differences out of court.
Moses's alleged abuse of his wife and children is a stark reminder of the darker side of Nigerian marriage. The fact that Adoga has been left to care for their children alone, while Moses indulges in his drinking habits, raises questions about the societal pressures that contribute to such situations. As Afrobeats icon, Tiwa Savage, once sang, "somebody baby, you dey do me like say I be your slave," but in this case, it's the wife who is trapped in a cycle of abuse.
