Ex-chief of Naval staff sue ex-wife, former minister Diezani for using his name
A former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Alison Madueke, has filed a petition in the Lagos State High Court, seeking a legal declaration to end his marriage to Diezani and requesting that she stop using his last name.
He is asking the court to order the former Minister of Petroleum Resources to revert to her maiden name, Agama.
This was contained in Madueke’s petition for jactitation of marriage (declaration that a marital union has ended).
The ex-Chief of Naval Staff argues that Diezani’s ongoing use of his name despite their marriage being legally over is damaging to his reputation and could lead to unintended consequences, including mistaken liability, particularly given the corruption allegations against her.
Madueke is a former military governor of Anambra and Imo states. He married Diezani on June 30, 1999, under the Marriage Act.
The petitioner, Madueke, noted that Diezani had previously filed for divorce at the Nassarawa State High Court in Mararaba Gurku in November 2021, citing an irreconcilable breakdown of their marriage, seeking to end their union formally.
He said he did not oppose the suit, resulting in the court’s dissolution of the marriage, yet Diezani persists in using his surname, despite the formal termination of their marital union.
He stated, “On the 13th day of April 2022, judgment was delivered in Suit No. NSD/MG345/2021 by Hon. Justice A.A. Ozegya dissolving the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent on the ground that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
“The said dissolution of marriage has now become absolute by the operation of law.
“Even though the marriage has been dissolved and is now legally finalised, the respondent continues to use the petitioner’s first name (Alison) and surname (Madueke) as her own without any justification or consent from the petitioner.

“It is now more than two-years that the respondent continues to use the name of the petitioner to his embarrassment.”
Madueke revealed that he directed his legal representatives to serve Diezani a formal request on December 14, 2023, demanding that she cease using his surname and revert to her maiden name, Agama.
However, despite this legal notice, Diezani has failed to respond and continues to use his name.
The petition further read, “The respondent has continued to hold out herself as the wife of the petitioner even when the marriage has been dissolved.
“The respondent is undergoing criminal trials in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The charge in Nigeria is Suit No. FUC/ABI/CR/208/2010.
“The respondent faces public allegations of corruption and financial misconduct, for which trials are ongoing for both.
“The persistent portrayal of the respondent as the spouse of the petitioner is creating embarrassment, a misleading impression and tarnishing the reputation, integrity, and public image of the petitioner.
“The respondent’s continued use of the petitioner’s first and surname falsely suggests to the public a continuing relationship between the parties though same has since legally ended.
“The respondent’s continued use of the petitioner’s first and family names poses a significant risk of legal and financial harm to the petitioner.
“The petitioner seeks the intervention of this Honourable Court to prevent the respondent from further using his first name and surname, thereby safeguarding his image, personality, and reputation.”
Madueke sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining Diezani from further using his names following the dissolution of their marriage.
He also prayed for a perpetual injunction restraining the respondent from further asserting, by words or conduct, the existence of marriage between them.
He is seeking a court order that compels Diezani to revert to her maiden name and to publicly announce in a national newspaper, both in Nigeria and the UK, that she has ceased using his surname.
Diezani has held several significant positions in the Nigerian government, including Minister of Transportation, Minister of Mines and Steel Development, and Minister of Petroleum Resources.
She was also the first female President of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, elected in November 2014.
Diezani was accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of embezzling $2.5bn from the Nigerian government during her tenure from 2010 to 2015 under President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
Corruption allegations have led to her arrest and legal proceedings in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.









Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at glassmeadowcommercegallery added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at sharesignal closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at huejuly suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at lanternmeadowcommercegallery kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at cloverharborcommercegallery kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at dahbrood kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je postavilo na svoje mesto. Govorim o ambulantnem zdravljenju alkoholizma pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati. Veste, odvisnost od alkohola ni sramota. In kar je najpomembneje – ni treba v bolnišnico. Več o tem in o izkušnjah pacientov si lahko preberete neposredno na uradnem viru: odvajanje od alkohola [url=www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvajanje od alkohola[/url]. Po prvem tednu sem začutil razliko.
Če kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi potrebuje pomoč – resnično priporočam. Srečno!
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at opalrivergoodsgallery continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after sageharborcraftcollective those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.
A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at opalrivercraftcollective continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.
Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at sorreltavern extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at trophysofa confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at uppersharp continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at silvercovecraftcollective suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at kettleharborcommercegallery added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.
Zdravo, ljudje. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je pokazal en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Preverite sami na povezavi: odvisnost od alkohol [url=www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url] Po nekaj tednih sem začutil razliko. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — upanje se vrne. Vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki se spopadajo s to težavo. Srečno na tej poti!
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at slackvista confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to pearlharborvendorparlor maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil skeptičen. Ampak ko sem videl rezultate — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato vam želim pokazati vse tehnične podrobnosti in uradne informacije, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: Dr Vorobjev [url=www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Na tej povezavi so odgovori na vsa vprašanja.
Po dolgih letih sem končno našel rešitev. Če se soočate s podobno težavo — vzemite si čas in preberite. Srečno vsem na tej poti!
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at isebrook added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at hazelharbormerchantgallery extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at huijax kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at velourudon earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at salutesyrup maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at buytrailshop kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je začelo obračati na bolje. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri Dr Vorobjevu. Veste, odvisnost od alkohola ni sramota. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Vse informacije in izkušnje drugih sem podrobno pregledal na spletni strani, posodobljene podatke pa si lahko ogledate tukaj: alkoholizem [url=https://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]alkoholizem[/url].

Če vi ali kdo od vaših bližnjih potrebuje pomoč – resnično priporočam. Držim pesti!
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at hullgale cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on jewbush I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.
Now placing this in the same category as a few other sites I have come to trust, and a look at wildharborcommercegallery continued the placement decision, the small category of fully trusted sites is one I extend rarely and only after multiple positive reading sessions and this site has earned the category placement methodically over time.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at walnutharborvendorparlor prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at spectrasolo cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at dailyneedsstore confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at seacovecraftcollective confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.
Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at florabrookvendorfoundry continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at cottongrovecommercegallery similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Živjo vsem. Dolgo časa nisem vedel, kam naprej. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je svetoval en center, kjer ne obetajo nemogočega. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Vse podrobnosti in izkušnje drugih ljudi najdete tukaj: Dr Vorobjev [url=alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Meni so res pomagali. Ni lahko priznati si, da imaš težavo. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — upanje se vrne. Vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki se spopadajo s to težavo. Vsak nov dan je priložnost.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at deoblob maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at rainharbormarketgallery continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at tapetoken maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at futurecartcorner continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at coralharborvendorloft extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at honeycovemerchantgallery only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at ivebump kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at lanternorchardmerchantgallery produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at velvetbrooktradegallery added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je spremenilo. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati.

Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at aroarch only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at tidalurchin held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at huiyam did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at steamsaunter provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.
