Turn it the other way around, would wives be glad to share theirs with their husbands in the same terms and spirit? Nevertheless, I support the judgement 1 Like |

Jogs1900:All the first wife can do is try to take her case to the courts but since her marriage was done traditionally and depending on the state where it was done, I doubt much can be done for her case. 1 Like 1 Share |

The net worth of marriage for a man used to be absolute zero(although many are yet to clue in on this fact), now in Lagos at least it is now less than zero. I just hope that this nonsense does not stray out of Lagos. 1 Like |

FreeStuffsNG:It cannot stand. It will be appealed. I will work and build a house and a woman is using her own money the way she wants and even sending endlessly to her family, then I want to dispose off the property for an important issue, then a court will say the woman is a co-owner and to enjoy the proceeds of the sales? The woman can only be a co-owner if she partly financed the acquisition of the property in any way. She 2 Likes |

You won't make a good judge. The woman made claims. She brought no evidence of such. That's why the husband had a counter argument-that she didn't contribute. He could not have said that if she brought proof of payment Sablexxxtoons: 3 Likes |

Re: Lagos Court Grants Wives Equal Rights Over Husbands’ Properties by RighteousI: 2:42pm On May 30, 2023 |
Get your facts right. The title of this post is misleading. The high court has not granted equal ownership to women. The judge in this case only made this personal pronouncement in regards to this case. Only the house of assembly can pass such a law and that will never happen in a male dominated legislature. And besides I urge the women in Nigeria and Africa not to rely on any court judgment for rights to the husband's property because their lives will be at risk. This is violent Africa, do you actually believe that the average and wicked Nigerian man can be forced into giving half of his property to the wife? You better run for your life, he will definitely kill you or he will send boys to rape and beat you up. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

jahsharon: Hope our sentimentality did not sit at the head of this judgement We want to be a better people without being better a persons. We have cultural and traditional institutions which have stakes in our lives in this country. Since we respect them so much, where do we leave their judgements too. Let's work on all the laws......or almost all. Not one today .....half tomorrow |

That judgement is a total nonsense. The judge is just defending the woman on the basis of contribution. Since the purchaser is not aware of any encumbrance surrounding the house, injustice has been meted out to him. What should have been done should be that the man divides the amount realised from the sale equally between himself and the wife if they both truly contributed 200k each to the purchase of the house. That is a more equitable position than the one which has carried out injustice on an innocent buyer. 1 Like |

jahsharon:I think the judgement favoured her because she was married to her husband for a very long time, also her money was used to pay off the collateral. I'm pretty sure the husband is going to appeal the judgement. |
