45 year old Mercy Ogbedo has been told by a London court that she must pay her Nigerian billionaire ex-husband's £100,000 legal costs after she failed in court to get financial support from him...
From UK Daily Mail
A scorned woman who claims she was 'duped' into marrying a billionaire with a secret wife has been told she must pay the tycoon £100,000 by the divorce courts.
Mercy Ogbedo, 45, thought her dreams had come true in 2002 when she went through a picturesque marriage ceremony with Nigerian shipping magnate Moses Taiga. Her feet were washed by village elders and a 'bride price' was paid for her, before the couple drank from the same cup, danced and cut an exotic wedding cake.
But Mrs Ogbedo, from Finchley, north London, who has two children by Mr Taiga, a billionaire who owns a string of London properties, says she discovered later that her husband already had a wife from 1974.
For more than a decade she has been petitioning the British divorce courts for financial support from Mr Taiga's nine-figure fortune.
But last year a divorce judge ruled that despite the mother of two being 'of limited means', she could not be awarded a maintenance from Mr Taiga because he had their marriage voided in Nigeria.
Instead she was ordered to pay £100,000 towards his legal bills.
Challenging that ruling, her barrister, Timothy Scott QC, said the former couple's lavish 2002 ceremony had 'duped' her into thinking she was a lawfully wedded wife.
The barrister told Appeal Court judge Lord Justice McFarlane that soon after her 'wedding' she discovered that 28 years previously Mr Taiga had married another woman in church in Benin.
Last year a Nigerian court found that the 2002 ceremony was not just invalid but a 'non-marriage' and she has no rights over his fortune.
The Court of Appeal in London has refused to overrule that decision, although Lord Justice McFarlane said he had 'real sympathy' for her predicament and has given her the right to appeal paying his £100,000 legal bill in the latest hearing.
The full hearing of Mrs Ogbedo's challenge to the costs order will take place at a later date.
Since splitting up with Mrs Ogbedo, Mr Taiga has ended his 1974 marriage and married a third woman, Yinka Taiga - with whom he has quadruplets.

obodo oyibo where you pay husband for divorcing him. where you pay legal fees meanwhile na you charge person to court. she for follow typical naija ways of staying on her own jeje. see handwork of greediness.
It is the first wife and her children's heads that has caught her. Of course, she knew he was married when she "married" him! She wanted some of the cash. I hope she loses that appeal and has to cough up the 100k Pounds.

what a story. Law is law though
Terrible..
Yup! Was about to say...Freemason? Forget it! She is screwed majorly! She should thank her lucky stars and bail fast. Sorry for wife #3.
The man is a grandmaster of a masonic lodge, what do you expect? They practical manoeuvred the case to favour him, the ex-wife can't win, because if findings are made, it would be discovered that the judges & even the lawyers involved in this case are all masons. All na propaganda.......Parvenu say so.
Thats harsh
The judgment is weird. No child support and she has to pay his lawyer fees though he's a billionaire? It's simple. The judge hates her.
Eya! And she thought she was going to get some dough outta it.
Faceoflib
#freemasontins
Unfortunately for her she can't seek redress in England, especially as the marriage took place in Nigeria! That truly is a great con by the man. But he should tamper justice with mercy and let her off the hook, after all she is the mother of two of her kids! *Benin men and their multiple marriages!!
Idiot. And you're a woman, saying nice action. Pray it doesn't happen to you.

Good for the gold digging woman. She knew he was a member of a cult, she knew he was previously married. But as with most gold diggers, she thought she would "tame the shrew". But what goes around comes around. As he dumped his wife for you, he also dumped you for another. Now that the new wife has triplet and you know he is gone, you want to still collect money.
PS: He would still leave the new wife. The man obviously guns after lazy gold digging women to use and dump. GET A JOB so you are, at least, a hardworking gold digger.
Linda pls check ur email,i need ur hlp.i sent u a mail wit d email add - michael.aorwu@gmail.com tnks
Nemesis
Kweke u dun enter am
That is why every woman must fight for a court marriage. Even if the man is poor right now, you don't know what tomorrow holds. So all those years spent with him raising his kids amounts for nothing??
Why would you out Aunty Yinkas photo there? That is not Mercy. Do the needful.
Nawa ooooo...... She don enter ham ooo where she wan see dah kind money nah? Nawa ooo.
Two words: BAD MARKET! Choi!!!
water don pass gari.BAM
Hmmm....a grandmaster of the freemasons. They control the legal system na....and I'm sure the influence will cut across borders.
So you'd know she can't win this case against her husband.
gudnews for d golddigger.
pls what is linda's email address
Linda technically the woman is right to claim from the man becos the man did not tell her dat he was married he lied to her that is polygamy but she wont win d case becos guy man an Freemason another branch 0f Illuminati infarct the free mason started Illuminati how in d hell did she think she was going to win d case d man is a grand master ogar o free mason run England the case took place in London were free masons rule
Hahhahahahaah wonders they said will never cease hahahhahaah Awwwww!!!! it is a pity. by dobis112@gmail.com
Clearly this story is not real, so weird infact it saddens me. it has been put out to show how being rich and grand master of a cult such as freemason or illuminate rules hence justice can never be served. Is not a crime to marry or have kids by a man u like it becomes a crime when the man refuses to pay to support his ex and kids. Well such men fear no one nor God so how can he have a conscience . Am positive God will fight for her and they will rule in her favour soon. Real men dnt deny their kids or ex financial support dude. He is still God of all,freemason or illuminate will Bow at the mention of d name Jesus.
Very good! Una dey see? Husband snatchers. Una just start. Wife 3, wait for your own o. Low self esteem witch. You wan reap wetin you no sow. Theiffff
WONDERS SHALL NEVER END
Impatient
`The man has children his age, why did she think he was not married

Oh yea very good thats what women does in England trying to be single mother and thinking they will be getting money but the man is absolutely a swindler.
