If a woman buys property in the name of her husband, it doesn't belong to him, but if a husband buys a property in the name of his wife, it belongs to her.
Case:
JOLUGBO & ANOR v. AINA & ANOR
(2016) LPELR-40352(CA)

The law also makes a distinction between the husband and the wife - when a wife buys a property, and conveys it in the name of her husband, there is no presumption of advancement in favour of her husband; he holds in trust for his wife. However, if the husband purchases a property in his wife's name, this is prima facie a gift to her - see Silver v. Silver (1958) 1 All E. R.523."

LoL, try going to the west like US and see the laws backing women there.

It's not good enough for someone to get what they did not work for but still better than the ones in America.

So let's appreciate this one for now, protect your interest in your property since you now know the law.
Judge no go follow u cry.
