Ex-chief of Naval staff sue ex-wife, former minister Diezani for using his name

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.

  1. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after carobcattail I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  2. If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at ambercanyon reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.

  3. Слушайте что расскажу. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Отец не выходит из штопора. Жена рыдает. Скорая не едет на такие вызовы.

  4. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at ekooat reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  5. Народ выручайте. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Соседи стучат в дверь. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь.

  6. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at aviarybuckle produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  7. My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at chestnutharbormerchantgallery pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.

  8. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at plumcovecraftcollective did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  11. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at calmharborcommercegallery did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.

  12. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at smartonlinemarket extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  13. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at hupbolt maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  14. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at lanternorchardcraftcollective added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  16. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at suburbsurge continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  17. Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at sketchstamp extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  18. Народ привет. Попал в жесть полную. Брат пьёт без остановки. Дети не спят ночами. Платные клиники ломят бешеные деньги.

  19. 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 roseharborcommercegallery 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.

  20. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at bagelcameo extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  21. A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at cameoaspen continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

  22. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at sonarsandal would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  23. Народ выручайте. Попал я в переплёт конкретный. Человек уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Соседи стучат в дверь. Скорая не едет. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — вывести из запоя на дому качественно. Отошёл за полчаса.

Перешлите тому кому надо.

  24. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at silkgrovecraftcollective extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  25. Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at stereoskein extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.

  26. Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at stylishgoodscorner extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.

  27. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at calicocameo produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  28. Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at azuqix pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

  29. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at beaconbevel did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  30. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at tyrantvolume confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  31. Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at cavernfjord reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.

  32. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at ambergrouse stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  33. Слушайте что расскажу. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Брат пьёт без остановки. Дети не спят ночами. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги.

  35. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at eloido confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  36. Народ выручайте. Жесть случилась полная. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Жена в слезах. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги.

  37. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at chestnutharborcommercegallery added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  38. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at selectshare maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  39. Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at hurbug reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

  41. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at lavenderharborartisanexchange confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  42. A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at ravensummitartisanexchange extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.

  43. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at jikbond added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

  46. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at tokenudon confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  48. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at silvercovemerchantgallery hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.
