Nigerian Doctor Shares Heartbreaking Story as Marriage Crumbles Months After Relocating to Canada

A Nigerian doctor has publicly shared his heartbreak after his marriage fell apart just months after he and his family relocated to Canada. The devastated man, who is of Yoruba descent, recounted his painful ordeal in a conversation with relationship adviser Adeolatalks, revealing how his wife, who hails from Edo, allegedly manipulated the Canadian justice system against him.

“I swear my wife ruined me in this country, and we just landed o,” he lamented, igniting mixed reactions across social media.

According to his detailed account, their marriage started to fall apart roughly four months after they arrived in Canada. He alleged that his wife accused him of domestic abuse, leading to serious legal consequences that have since upended his life in the new country.

“We ended up separating when we arrived in Canada about four months later. She even went as far as to involve me in the criminal justice system here, which is not sympathetic to claims of domestic abuse,” he stated.

Reflecting on his actions, the embattled doctor admitted that he may have exhibited controlling tendencies due to his seniority in age but insisted that he never physically harmed his wife.

“I admit we had arguments, and I accept that because I am older than her, I may have lorded some authority over her. My controlling behavior was wrong, and I apologize. But I never for once hit her. It felt to me like a setup,” he added.

Beyond the legal woes, he accused his estranged wife of financial irresponsibility, disclosing that she mismanaged a sum of approximately ₦10 million in Nigeria before their relocation. He explained that the funds were intended for her contribution to their proof of funds for permanent residency, but she allegedly squandered the money on personal expenses.

“She became entangled in a loan cycle of approximately ₦10 million, which she used for self-care over eight months. This money was meant for her personal contribution to the proof of funds for permanent residency, but she squandered it with nothing to show for it,” he lamented.

The doctor further claimed that his wife used their immigration process as leverage to demand more financial support, allegedly threatening not to travel with him and their children unless he covered the required proof of funds.

Their separation took a drastic turn when she reportedly secured a restraining order against him, barring him from any contact with her or their children.

“As I speak to you, I do not know where she lives, and I cannot talk to her because she issued a restraining order against me in this country, which she refused to lift even when asked by the government,” he said.

Expressing deep concern for his two young daughters, he revealed that his attempts at reconciliation have been fruitless and that his in-laws have chosen not to intervene.

“We have two little girls, and I am concerned about them. I have done my best to get her back, but she got the police to put a no-contact order on me from the very first day. Her family won’t get involved.”

He further alleged that his wife has since moved on and is now living with another man.

The heartbreaking revelation has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many expressing opinions on relationships, financial responsibility, and the challenges couples face after relocating abroad. While some sympathized with the doctor’s plight, others argued that there may be more to the story than he has shared.

Nigeria Labour Congress Issues Ultimatum: Mass Action Looms Over Telecom Tariff Hike and Electricity Tariff Increases

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a strong warning to the Federal Government, directing its affiliates to prepare for mass action if the government proceeds with the implementation of a 35% telecommunication services charge, contrary to agreements made by the 10-man committee.

The decision was taken during the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Yola, Adamawa State, where the congress also inaugurated its Compressed Natural Gas-driven Mass Transit Buses for the North East Zone and deliberated on the escalating economic crisis facing Nigerian workers. The statement, released on Sunday, underscored the NLC’s firm stance against further financial burdens on citizens.

Telecom Tariff Hike: A Breach of Agreement?

The NLC expressed dissatisfaction with the Federal Government’s handling of the telecommunication tariff hike, recalling that a February 21, 2025 agreement between both parties had reduced the proposed increase from 50% to 35%. However, the congress remains skeptical about the government’s commitment to honoring this agreement.

“NEC categorically warns that should the implementation of the agreement on March 1, 2025, not be as agreed, the National Administrative Council is mandated to immediately deploy all necessary instruments to enforce compliance in line with the February 10th, 2025 Central Working Committee directive,” the statement read.

Electricity Tariff: Mass Resistance on the Horizon

The NLC also took a firm stand against the reclassification of electricity consumers by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), labeling it a deceptive scheme to force customers into Band A under the pretext of improved service while imposing higher costs.

“This systematic exploitation, sanctioned by the Ministry of Power, is nothing short of economic violence against the working class and the broader Nigerian populace,” the communiqué stated.

The congress warned that any attempt to increase electricity tariffs further would trigger nationwide resistance. “The ruling elite continues to transfer the burden of their fiscal irresponsibility onto the already impoverished working masses. NEC-in-session warns that any attempt to announce further electricity tariff increases will be met with mass resistance,” the statement emphasized.

Call for Nationwide Mobilization Against Economic Hardship

The NLC has called on all industrial unions, affiliates, and progressive allies to remain vigilant and ready to engage in decisive mass action. “No society can sustainably develop under a regime of corporate plunder and neoliberal enslavement. The Nigerian working people must, therefore, remain resolute, organised, and uncompromising in the collective struggle for a fair and equitable Nigeria,” the congress declared.

Labour Party Crisis: NLC Moves to Reclaim Control

The NEC also addressed the ongoing crisis within the Labour Party, asserting that the party, which was created by the Nigeria Labour Congress, must remain true to its ideological roots.

“NEC-in-session directed the National Administrative Council to take immediate steps which may include rebranding, merger, or forming coalitions to defend the interests of the NLC and Nigerian workers within the party,” the statement noted.

The congress warned that it would not allow the Labour Party to be hijacked by external forces that do not align with the aspirations of Nigerian workers and the masses. “The NLC remains committed to ensuring that the party remains a true vehicle for the emancipation of Nigerian workers and the oppressed masses,” the communiqué concluded.

Conclusion: Tensions Mount as NLC Sets the Stage for Action

With economic hardship worsening and workers bearing the brunt of government policies, the NLC’s ultimatum signals a potential showdown. As the Federal Government moves forward with policies perceived as exploitative, the coming days could see large-scale mobilizations, protests, and a heightened struggle for economic justice in Nigeria.
