Absolutely. It is a criminal offence to lay your hands on someone.

Interesting.

You also think women who do same thing (e.g. Amber Heard) should be ruined same way?

Do you know that women cheat too? Do you understand that women become lazy and financially inept as well over the years? Is it wrong for a husband to expect home cooked meals, clean home and clothes while married? Would this be considered turning her into a maid even tho washing machine and dryer is installed and the husband only eats one meal at home per day?

I believe when it comes to fairness in marriages, most of you women don't want fairness/equality, what most of you want is equity and preferential treatment. Look at U.K and U.S laws surrounding divorces, even when the woman is the reason for the divorce she still walks away happier in terms of financial compensation.

It's a tale of two worlds, in 9ja divorce laws are too laxed while abroad it is too strict. Many men are suffering because they chose love over logic. You can love someone yet have the logic to understand that he/she may hurt you. The inability to prepare for the worst possible scenario is what gets most men depressed and dejected after divorce.

My brother, if you are married to a woman that works as much as you do, contribute economically to the household as you do, then it is too much for you to also expect at bolded from her because she's your wife. If you have the machine, endeavour to load it as much as she does. If you have kids, take care of them as much as she does. Take care of the cleaning as much as she does.....etc. this way, you are equally responsible for the success of your marriage and home. One party burnout wont be a thing.

By the way, are you aware of how much surrogates earn now? Your wife does that for free while even still working to support the household.

Cleaners dont even charge you the minimum wage abroad, they charge at least twice the minimum wage per hour to cleanup. Madam does it for free.

Cooks/chefs. Let's not start imagining how much their time cost.

Nannies....

Imagine men expecting all these from their wives despite her working just like they are plus additional king treatment. It's just unfair, that's what causes majority of the fights in abroad marriages. While in Nigeria, a lot of women stomach it because they mostly have access to cheap maids or support from families but once abroad, it's just them and it doesn't take so long to snap. If you want peace, do not overburden your spouse!

Unless you have a full time housewife, it's quite unfair for you to expect your abroad wife to keep up the "good woman" vibe of naija.


Meanwhile, yes there are some really irrational/irresponsible women who would do anything to be rid of you no matter how good you are to them. It is well.

In my own little experience about life.. I've come to realize that women change like weather.

When you have enough.. they start lovey dovey,but let your pocket go dry, you'd see their true nature.

Another one is if the woman earns more or happens to have more degree certificates than her man, she'd look down on him and even make him feel less of a man at one point in time, which is never the case with men when relating with women.

Nigerian guys abroad should be careful including the ones planning to relocate.. always have a plan B or escape route in case things go south.. If it's to make pals with white people that'll come through for you when you need help, do it.

@OP Advise your friend to return to Nigeria or if he has the means, he should relocate to another city in U.K or relocate to North-Western parts of Europe like Ireland.
TIME HEALS EVERYTHING... he should give it time,he'd overcome.

True talk.

Don't over burden your spouse.
Support each other in doing housework (both must do housework)
Cook, do dish or load machine, wash clothes, vacuum the house, dress the beds, if you have kids,bath the kids, baby sit, go shopping etc

No work should be solely called wifey job. Men can do everything except pregnancy - yet share the pregnancy process with her.

Him no fit work for tesco, Asda, sainsbury or Waitrose?
Wasn't he working before?
No savings?

Can he not apologise to his wife and seek a second chance?
He was going to their house uninvited because him think say na lawless area like Nigeria him dey abi?

Tell him to snap out of his Nigerian mentality, GET A JOB however menial, earn his wages and work on himself.

If he makes it, the children will look for him.
If not they will avoid him like a plague

Then what's the essence of a wife? Loading washing machine or dryer is now a thing that must be shared equally? Preparing a meal for your family is now maid work? Are you actually married? In most households they do order take in once or twice a week so I'm short of words this burnout theory.

Furthermore, there are so many other domestic duties that men are not expected to split with their wives such as lawn mowing, plumbing issues, car issues, carpentry work, paint work etc. In fact here in America, I've learned to be an handyman because the cost of labor is so high but what I refuse to subject myself to is the core duties of a wife. Preparing dinner, a clean home and laundry are the bear minimum, to make it easier we have automatic machines for everything including sweeping and moping yet burnout still dey? My grandma would be rolling in her grave right now at all these so called modern wives grin grin grin

Lastly, I love your caveat, if both are working full time and contribute economically in equal parts, I can assure you 90% of the households in UK or US are not splitting bills 50/50; perhaps if the bills were actually split 50/50 I can understand the man forgoing some of his basic rights but anything short of that is plain rubbish.....

UK/USA/Canada is very good for men who believe in polygamy. All he has to do is migrate with the wife to any one of these countries.
She will raise hell after a few years. The man can then go back home to marry an upgraded version. But he must be wise enough to "Achraf Hakimi" himself in all these plots.

..not people that don't have an iota of what a divorce proceedings entails, especially in the UK.
Nigerian married women in UK have been villified these days (the way they get to UK to become something else). I am well travelled but I thank my parents I'm able to retain my African heritage. My wife and I share the same values.

When will parents start to realize that the interest of their wards emotional and social well being may come back to haunt them later coz they are the future.
Parents (especially women) should be guided rather most are blinded by rash emotional/financial entitlement mindset they export to the 'white man' land using their laws ('white man' courts) to vindictively mare the future of their innocent children.

No difference can't be settled. Divorce is never a good option except in cases of physical abuse.

Because he is your friend, you have painted him to be the victim. Are these allegations or did he actually commit all these things listed? What exactly pushed the wife to divorce him and are there any ways they can reconcile, because it’s going to be a very very long battle for him starting afresh.

So even at that, must she make his life miserable?
