Man Brutalized Wife for Inability to Bear a Male Child.

One John Edobor, said to be a staff of Zenith Bank in Nigeria was taken before a Lagos Magistrate's Court a few days ago for breaking the legs of Ivie Edobor, his wife and mother of their three children with a metal rod.  Edobor, who has been married to his wife for nine years, has now left the poor woman handicapped and with the sole responsibility of raising their three daughters.
The woman’s offence was that she “refused” to give birth to a male child. According to Ivie, she was with a friend in front of her residence in Surulere, Lagos, when she was accosted by her husband who came with some thugs.

“Before we could react, a group of area boys attacked us. They held my friend down on the floor, giving John (her husband) the opportunity to focus his attack on me. He tried to hit me on the head with a metal bar, but I shielded myself. I landed on the floor with my legs extended where he proceeded to hit me on the legs continuously with the metal,”

Ivie’s legs were repeatedly hit with the iron rod until her bones fractured. She currently faces the possibility of losing her right leg and is determined to seek justice. 
And due to her “inability” to give Edobor a son, the man started an affair with another woman and flaunted it all over the social media. Worse, the ignorant man was said to have removed his daughters as beneficiaries of his medical insurance package and requested that they be taken to his village to continue their education.

In the 21st Century and the year 2016, it’s a shame that a supposedly educated man such as John Edobor could not remember his high school Biology class that dealt with X and Y Chromosomes. The dumb guy has forgotten that it’s a man’s Chromosomes that are responsible for the gender of a baby. How I wish his daughters would grow up to become achievers in their chosen fields. I also wish the kids will ignore the useless man in his old age.
