The news making the rounds is that Prince Odiase Okojie has formally divorced Lovely Okojie, his estranged wife to wed Mercy Johnson tomorrow.
The said divorce we learnt took place in Edo State on Tuesday August 23 but when Linda Ikeji spoke with Lovely Okojie, below were her exact words on the matter.
“Odi and I are divorced? (laughs). I never signed any divorce papers. No member of my family signed any divorce papers. In fact there was no court hearing on Tuesday August 23. There was a hearing last week Wednesday where my father, sister, and lawyer represented me, but the case was postponed to Monday August 22. My family members didn't show up on that day. So who signed the divorce papers? Also how can a court in Edo State divorce us when we got married in Italy? The only way Odi can divorce me is to go to the courts in Italy after a 3-year official separation or ask Italy to transfer the case to Nigeria, which I have told him to do, but he would rather bribe a court in Nigeria to dissolve the marriage, which is not legally binding. If we are truly divorced, tell him to produce the divorce certificate...
Is it not this same Odi who denied ever being married to me? Now all of a sudden we are divorced? The same Odi who said the photographs I sent to you were of him signing our child's birth certificate? Do you exchange rings at child birth certificate signing? (laughs) Linda, I can give you my lawyer's number, please call him and ask him if he signed any divorce papers or if he was in court on Tuesday. I'm still legally married to Prince Odi Okojie, I have not returned any bride price and if Mercy Johnson wants to marry him, let her go ahead. She should just know that she's a second wife. Odi and Mercy Johnson can deceive Nigerians but they can't deceive God.
This whole thing seems like a dream to me, I am beyond confused. I can't believe how a man can suddenly turn against his own family, his own children. I'm beginning to think Odi is not doing all this with clear eyes.
Uhmmm, what is the desperation all about? Mercy Johnson should steer clear of the marriage if she still have any modicum of integrity or decency. She should remember that the wipe used on the first wife is waiting somewhere for the younger one.
