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.









Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at Beauty-Optical-Salon 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.
Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at justvotenoon2 continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.
Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at apkcontainer confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at nevirortrust produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through rosetemplates I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at discovermodernstrategies confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at morixobond extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at qelarobonding 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.
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at Relevant-Gaming added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at Pier45AtTheport continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at TheMacAllenBuilding reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at goldmetalshop confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at xevirobonding kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at southbyfreenoms continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at korivotrustco maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at regina4congress kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at madeleinemtbc 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.
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at PeaceLandWorld reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at nycbhm continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at georgetowndowntownmasterplan 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.
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at 28darlingstreet maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at newlywedstour extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at nixaropact continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at spiritoftheaerodrome confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at trustedonlineshoppingcenter produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at 4countiesrecovery expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at theberserkeriscoming suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
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 korivocapital 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.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at opensky-inc confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at electamandamurphy continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at toddstarnesbooktour kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at quvexatrustgroup kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at emeryflowers kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at licsupport continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.
Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at ygavexaudition2024 continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at mdcantaffordjealous kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at saveshelterpets continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at tabitoshigoto extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at PapaMasque carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at knightstablefoodpantry was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at dearsparrows continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at 34crooke also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to ShopWhatTheFreak confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
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 discoveractionableideas I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.
Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at neviroroot 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.
Ya llevo casi medio ano con 888starz y sinceramente no esperaba gran cosa, ya que por aqui te cansas de paginas que venden humo. Abrir la cuenta me llevo tres minutos, los datos basicos y fuera, y el minimo para depositar es de 1 euro, cosa que agradezco para tantear.
De slots tienen un catalogo enorme — creo que pasan de 8.000 titulos entre Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Betsoft y Yggdrasil. Mis habituales son Book of Dead y Gates of Olympus, aunque de vez en cuando pruebo los Megaways. La pega es que encontrar un juego concreto es un lio cuando tienes 8.000 cosas delante.
La zona en vivo es de Evolution, basicamente y ahi no hay queja: mesas con crupier en espanol, los game shows tipo Crazy Time si te va el rollo espectaculo. El paquete de bienvenida ronda el 100% y unas 150 giros, hay que apostarlo unas 35 veces, que no es regalado pero tampoco un robo. Tambien hay algun free spin sin deposito, puedes mirar lo que hay vigente en [url=https://888starz-es2.com/mobile]888starz mobi[/url] antes de registrarte.
Los cobros es lo que mas me ha sorprendido. Cobre el otro dia via e-wallet y lo tuve en 40 minutos. Con tarjeta tarda mas, como en todos lados. Van con Neteller, Bitcoin y ahi es donde vuela de verdad.
El movil cumple, la app de Android existe pero yo uso el navegador y me sobra. El chat de ayuda te contesta en castellano, no fue instantaneo pero tampoco eterno la vez que tuve un lio con la verificacion. Operan con licencia de Curazao, que no es la DGOJ y hay que saberlo antes de entrar. Por ahora no me ha fallado, pero ojo con el rollover de las promos.
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at muralspotting was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at quvexaline continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at christmasintheparkuk extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
