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. Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at plivoxcapital suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.

  2. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at navirobonding produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  3. Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at discoverstrategicoptions continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  4. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at qorivocore earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  5. Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at jonathanfinngamino gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.

  6. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at torivomarket kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  7. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at morixotrust showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  8. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at plavextrustco extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  9. A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at mdcantaffordjealous maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.

  10. Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at thermonuclearwar adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.

  11. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at zavirobond added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  12. Also ich spiele jetzt seit gut vier Monaten und muss ehrlich sagen, am Anfang war ich echt skeptisch, ob so ein Laden mit Krypto uberhaupt was taugt. Uber nen Kumpel drauf gekommen, der schon langer bitcoin online poker spielt, und was soll ich sagen – hangen geblieben bin ich trotzdem. Als Spieler aus Deutschland ist das ohnehin ne halbe Wissenschaft, was Ein- und Auszahlungen angeht, dazu spater.

    Beim Angebot wird einem nicht langweilig – wurde sagen irgendwas um die 2000 Titel, wenn man alles zusammenzahlt. Die bekannten Studios sind am Start: Pragmatic Play mit Gates of Olympus und Sweet Bonanza, plus Betsoft und Yggdrasil, ruckelt nichts. Der Live-Kram kommt von Evolution, echte Dealer und den Gameshows, da versacke ich abends schon zu oft. Und klar, das eigentliche Ding ist fur mich halt der Pokertisch – Poker in Bitcoin eben, deswegen bin ich hier.

    Zum Bonus: es gab bei mir einen 100%-Bonus bis 500€ plus rund 200 Free Spins, nicht alle auf einmal. Die Umsatzbedingung liegt bei 35x, was ok ist fur die Branche, schaut euch das Kleingedruckte durch. Immer wieder gibts Freeroll-Turniere und mal nen No-Deposit-Kracher, so kann man antesten risikofrei das Ganze. Die neuesten Angebote schaut euch am besten uber [url=https://onlinebitcoin-poker.de/de-de]bitcoin for poker[/url] bevor ihr einzahlt, ist meist aktueller als der Support.

    Kommen wir zum Kritikpunkt – Withdrawals. Uber Bitcoin lief es fix, top. Als ich einmal Neteller probierte, dauerte es langer und die Verifizierung zog sich. Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller sind alle da, aber ganz ehrlich der Vorteil von Bitcoin beim Poker ist ja, dass es eben schneller und anonymer geht. Mindesteinzahlung waren 20 Euro, Anmeldung war in Minuten durch.

    Unterwegs laufts sauber – es gibt ne App fur beide Systeme, sonst uber die Seite geht auch alles. Der Kundendienst zu jeder Zeit per Chat, Deutsch ging ok, aber nicht perfekt, auf Englisch lief es rund. Was die Regulierung angeht passt es, das war mir wichtig. Fur alle hier aus Deutschland, die mal Poker mit Bitcoin reinschnuppern wollen – fur mich passts gerade, kann sich ja noch andern.

  13. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at zorivounion held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  14. Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at xaneroline reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.

  15. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at mivarotrustgroup 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.

  16. Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at ulvarotrust continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  17. Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at xelivobond was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.

  18. Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at qerly 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.

  19. يعني أنا بقالي تقريبًا نص سنة بشتغل على الموقع ده وحبيت أشارك اللي شفته بدل ما الناس تسأل في الخاص. أكتر حاجة عجبتني إن المكتبة ضخم — حوالي 8 آلاف لعبة بالتقريب، والجودة مش وحشة زي مواقع تانية. براجماتيك موجودة بقوة وكمان NetEnt وYggdrasil.

    أنا بقعد أطحن في Gates of Olympus، وواحد صاحبي مش بيسيب Book of Dead. اللي جربته الفترة اللي فاتت كان حاجات Microgaming وكانت حلوة. إنما الحاجة الوحيدة المزعجة إن البحث جوه التطبيق بيهنج أحيانًا لما تفتح كل الأقسام.

    الـlive أحسن حاجة عندهم — إيفوليوشن مشغلاه، كروبيهات حقيقيين والستريم مستقر حتى لما النت بيبوظ شوية. كريزي تايم تحديدًا مسلية جدًا، ووموجود روليت وبلاك جاك عربي ودي نقطة كويسة. بخصوص بونص أول إيداع بيكون مضاعفة أول شحن بالإضافة لـ شوية فري سبينز بتيجي على دفعات، وشرط التدوير 35x وده مش سيء مقارنة بغيرهم. ممكن تراجع الشروط بالظبط من [url=https://888starz-apk19.com]888starz تنزيل[/url] قبل ما تسجل لأن الأرقام بتتبدل كل فترة.

    فتح الحساب أخد مني دقيقتين، وأقل إيداع صغير — مبلغ رمزي. طرق الشحن فيه Visa وMastercard، Skrill وNeteller، وعملات رقمية وأنا بفضلها صراحة. السحبة اللي فاتت خرج بعد 3 ساعات بالـUSDT، لكن بالتحويل البنكي أخد يومين تلاتة.

    من التليفون الوضع كويس — تحميل 888starz للاندرويد بيتم من موقعهم مباشرة وده طبيعي في مواقع الرهان. 888starz تحديث بيجيلك إشعار وده مريح. الدعم شغال طول الوقت وأحيانًا الرد الأول بيكون قالب جاهز. الترخيص من كوراساو وده اللي متعارف عليه في المنطقة، يعني خليك واعي وحط ليمت لنفسك.

  20. Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at brixelcapital only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  21. بصراحة أنا بقالي تقريبًا نص سنة بلعب على الموقع ده وفكرت أقول رأيي لأن ناس كتير بتسأل. الحاجة اللي لفتت نظري إن المكتبة كبير بشكل مش طبيعي — حوالي 8 آلاف لعبة على ما أظن، والجودة مش وحشة زي مواقع تانية. Pragmatic Play مسيطرة شوية ووطبعًا NetEnt وPlay’n GO.

    أنا بحب سويت بونانزا، وزميلي عايش على Book of Dead. الجديد اللي جربته كان سلوتس Betsoft وكانت حلوة. إنما اللي بيضايقني إن فلترة الألعاب مش دقيق لما تدور على لعبة بالاسم.

    قسم الـlive هو اللي مخليني فاضل — Evolution شغالة عليه، كروبيهات حقيقيين والستريم مستقر حتى على النت المصري. Crazy Time تحديدًا إدمان بصراحة، ووموجود ديلرز بيتكلموا عربي وده فرق معايا. بالنسبة لـ بونص أول إيداع هو مضاعفة أول شحن و 150 لفة مجانية مش كلها مرة واحدة، وشرط التدوير 35x وده معقول. ممكن تراجع آخر العروض والأكواد على [url=https://888starz-apk13.com]تحميل 888starz اخر إصدار[/url] لو ناوي تبدأ لأنها بتتغير.

    التسجيل أخد مني دقيقتين، والحد الأدنى للإيداع في المتناول — مبلغ رمزي. الدفع بيدعم Visa وMastercard، سكريل ونتلر، وكريبتو وهي الأسرع. آخر مرة سحبت وصل في ساعتين بالـUSDT، إنما بالتحويل البنكي استنيت يومين.

    من التليفون مفيش مشاكل — تثبيت الـapk مش من جوجل بلاي وده طبيعي في مواقع الرهان. 888starz تحديث بينزل تلقائي ومفيش لخبطة. الدعم شات مباشر 24 ساعة بس ساعات بيردوا بإنجليزي الأول. الرخصة من كوراساو وده مش أفضل ترخيص في الدنيا بس مقبول، فمتحمسش وتحط أكتر من قدرتك.

  22. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at ravioncore produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

  23. A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at korla extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

  24. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at morixotrustee continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  25. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at rixaroline earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  26. Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at zavirocore reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.

  27. Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at businessrelationshipplatform extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.

  28. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at clicktofindstrategicoptions continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  29. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at tahwla extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  30. I am typically to running a blog and i really admire your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I am going to bookmark your web site and maintain checking for brand new information.

  31. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at zexarocore did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  32. يعني بقالي كام شهر بجرب على الموقع ده وحبيت أشارك اللي شفته بدل ما الناس تسأل في الخاص. أكتر حاجة عجبتني إن كتالوج السلوتس مرعب فعلًا — أكتر من 6000 لعبة تقريبًا، ومش كلها زبالة زي بعض المواقع. Pragmatic Play مسيطرة شوية وكمان NetEnt وYggdrasil.

    بالنسبالي مدمن Gates of Olympus، وزميلي مش بيسيب Book of Dead. الجديد اللي جربته كانت حاجات Microgaming ومش بطالة. إنما اللي مش عاجبني إن فلترة الألعاب مش دقيق لما تفتح كل الأقسام.

    قسم الـlive اللي بيشد فعلًا — إيفوليوشن مشغلاه، كروبيهات حقيقيين والجودة عالية حتى لما النت بيبوظ شوية. كريزي تايم تحديدًا مسلية جدًا، وفيه روليت وبلاك جاك عربي ودي نقطة كويسة. بالنسبة لـ عرض الترحيب بيكون مضاعفة أول شحن و 150 سبين بتيجي على دفعات، وشرط التدوير حوالي 35 مرة وأنا شايفه عادل نسبيًا. تقدر تشوف الشروط بالظبط على [url=https://apaarid.in]8888 تنزيل[/url] قبل ما تسجل لأنها بتتغير.

    إنشاء الحساب أخد مني دقيقتين، وأقل مبلغ تشحنه في المتناول — حوالي 50 جنيه. الدفع متاح بـ كروت البنوك، سكريل ونتلر، وبيتكوين وUSDT وهي الأسرع. السحبة اللي فاتت خرج بعد 3 ساعات بالـبيتكوين، إنما بالفيزا استنيت يومين.

    من التليفون مفيش مشاكل — تنزيل التطبيق من الموقع الرسمي وده طبيعي في مواقع الرهان. التحديث بيتحدث لوحده والحمد لله. الدعم شات مباشر 24 ساعة بس ساعات بيردوا بإنجليزي الأول. الترخيص كوراساو وده اللي متعارف عليه في المنطقة، فاعتبرها نصيحة: العب بفلوس تقدر تخسرها.

  33. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at savennkga continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  34. Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at cavarounion reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.

  35. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at ravionbondgroup kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  36. Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at themacallenbuilding extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.

  37. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at kaviontrustco rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  38. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at momoanmashop adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  39. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at qorivobond extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  40. Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at quvexabond confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.

  41. Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to pelixocapital confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.

  42. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at zexarotrustco 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.

  43. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at nevironline confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.

  44. Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at jestraproperties similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.

  45. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at nixaroline 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.

  46. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at axivo held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  47. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at xelariocapital pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

    Современные новостройки Москвы — это не только квартиры, но и целая среда для комфортного проживания. Во многих жилых комплексах предусмотрены дворы без машин, детские площадки, зоны отдыха, паркинги, магазины и удобный доступ к транспорту, что особенно важно для городской жизни https://sezor.ru/

  49. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at kryvoxalloy confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
