A Benue State man has taken to Facebook to call out his second wife after she allegedly abandoned their marriage to wed another man — and he wants the whole world to know he is done with her.

Levi Aondohemba Orhii is not taking his situation lying down. The Benue State indigene recently made a shocking announcement on Facebook, revealing that his second wife — a woman he had married traditionally — had allegedly packed her bags, left their home, and gone ahead to marry another man entirely.
For Levi, this was not just a personal betrayal. It was a matter of public record, and he wanted everyone to know about it.
The Full Gist
According to Levi’s post, he had gone the traditional marriage route with the woman in question, completing all the necessary rites and paying whatever was required under customary law. In his eyes, she was his wife — fully and legitimately.
But somewhere along the line, things went south. The woman allegedly left the marriage and, rather than going through a proper separation, reportedly went ahead to marry yet another man — without formally dissolving her union with Levi.
Feeling disrespected and publicly humiliated, Levi decided to do what many Nigerians do best when life gives them pepper — he went online.
The Public Renouncement
In his Facebook post, Levi made it crystal clear: he no longer recognises the woman as his wife. He declared the marriage over, calling out her actions for all his friends, family, and followers to see.
The post, as expected, stirred serious reactions online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the matter — some sympathising with Levi, others raising eyebrows at the drama of it all.
Nigerians React
This kind of story is, unfortunately, not entirely new in Nigeria. Disputes over traditional marriages — especially involving questions of who is truly “married” under customary law — are a recurring issue across many communities.
Many Nigerians online questioned the legal and traditional implications of the woman’s actions. Under most Nigerian customary laws, a woman cannot simply walk out of a traditionally conducted marriage and enter another without the first marriage being properly dissolved. If the allegations are true, this could spell serious legal and traditional consequences for all parties involved.
Others, however, urged Levi to handle the matter through the appropriate traditional and legal channels rather than letting social media be his courtroom.
The Big Takeaway
This story raises important conversations about marriage, commitment, and the weight of traditional unions in Nigeria today. It is a reminder that whether you do court marriage, church wedding, or traditional rites — marriage is a serious covenant that should not be entered into lightly or exited without proper process.
As for Levi? He has said his piece publicly. Whether the matter ends on Facebook or moves to a family meeting or court, only time will tell.
