That law would never work in a country like Nigeria

This is one fight the common man doesn't need to get himself involved. The Elites will fight on our behalf

SmartPolician:
I don't want to believe that ladies' obsession with court marriages is to get 50% of their husbands' assets. This is the same thing that destroyed marriage institutions in the west. And Nigerian ladies with yahoo mindsets have been its biggest beneficiaries in the west.

igatit:
A law is a law, it's enforcement or awareness is not determined by gender.

ecolime:
The percentage you get should depend on how long you've stayed in the marriage.

1 year= 1%
10 years= 10%
20 years = 20%

Involuntary full time housewives should get more as it will be difficult for them to start again from the scratch.

BreconHills:


It is not a law but a rule of interpretation. Any document must be interpreted based on reasonability . A court can question whether a man's duty to his family to provide and care gor his family can be negated by a document when there was no history of animosity.

There was a case in the lagos high court a few years ago when a man willed all his assets to Guru Maharaji. The will was overturned on the ground that the sect had undue influence on him and that his neglect of his family was unreasonable based on his life up till the moment of death.

Morale. If you want to give everything to charity and neglect your family then do it while you are alive.

Omoejigbahe:
What if the wife is richer

id4sho:
Women and greed, see how our resident feminist avoided this thread. Why not wife properties

Akwamkpuruamu:


Is this your perception, opinion or what the law says?

dettolgel:
As a husband if I will all my properties to charity, upon demise I hope the court will follow through and not pass it along to my spouse or children?

yinchar:
That’s why we have low divorce rate

Once the court start granting the 50% of husband proprieties on divorce to the wives…see as how every one starts filing for divorce

DrFunmisticGlow:
But the man bleeped up so he deserves it.

kennyz247:
Dem be want take more than 50 % before for wheytn den no work for

ntyce:
Lol
Shey na her Papa give me money or am I a beneficiary of her dad's will?

nedekid:

That of naija ladies is not channeled towards divorce, but rather in event if death. To ensure they are secured to inherit asset without disturbance from family members.
The downside is that knowing it is through the demise of their partners, they can inherit, poisoning and other means will be rampant, especially in a our society where autopsy is early done.
There is one part of the east back then where you had lots of rich widows. Legend has it they kpai their husbands at a certain stage if sucess.

royalfly:


How do you know please? Men are guilty before proven innocent while women are innocent until proven guilty

tuoyoojo:
Maybe that is why some women may stay in a loveless relationship as long as the money cones

However, what happens when the man or woman dies, who is entitled to what...over yo the lawyers in the house

instead of scheming on your revenge fantasies why not build first? It's not with your bathroom slippers,bathroom broom,iron bucket,mattress on the floor and I pass my neighbour generator you should be scheming revenge

The will will most probably be contested by the wife or children in court.

Madam I can't marry a liability like you so it is not an issue if revenge. My partner earns above the median salary in the west. As for the kids we will equip them with all the tools they need to survive and be the best version of their selves in their life time.

The problem is with family members like you that would want to drag the properties in Naija with wify knowing that she isn't based here and our kids probably ain't interested in relocating to Naija. The best option to protect my sweet from leeches is to hand it over to charity. I am even looking at the possibility of giving it to a specific research institute here. Upon my demise everything will be sold and the money transferred to the research centre.

Thinking that everyone is like you, if e sure for you chose any four cities of your choice two in North America and two in Europe and I will chose one out of it and you pick a place and I will show up within 72 hours of we agreeing on the location. Make I tell you say forget say we dey here dey catch cruise a times no mean day everybody wey dey here be pikin.

Tightpussy2024:
So a naija woman will divorce just for 50% property? The man doesn't know what he is saying.
In my opinion, women in naija don't benefit from marriage. If it ends,you are at the mercy of a man to even see food money for the children. If he doesn't send money, you will be accused of causing it because you poisoned your children mind against him".If the man earns 20m in a month. He will calculate the exact money needed,or send like 100k per month for the kid upkeep,if you resist(based on his earning power) you will be accused of being a gold digger trying to milk him.

You claim women value reduce once they are married and given birth,and no one will be able to marry them afterwards,while you can easily move on and land a chick.yet the idea of paying for a woman whose life is truncated and sexual market value plummeted as a result of her union with with you,is called trying to milk you.

One day,just like Korean women,naija women will say no to marriage until a system that protects them is installed

luminouz:

That day will never come. Marriage is the jewel in your crown of life achievement.

So you are comparing yourself to a Korean woman? Dey joke.

Tightpussy2024:

His motive for the post was not to represent the law but was male centered. I didn't see references to the constitution. No professionalism. He must have replied to a post of a woman saying the moment her husband cheats,she will leave. Could be a silent redpiller.

Tightpussy2024:

Let them be deceiving themselves. Since society loves and favours widows,alot of men have died under questionable circumstances. If hunters have learnt to shoot without missing,birds should fly without perching. When you push someone to the wall and provide no room for escape,be surprised at what the person will do .

All those obituaries of ," died after a brief illness" that people blamed on his "drinking habit", "previous diabetes" and "BP issues" . We know what's up.
