It's as a result of either weak shocks absolver or the panel which the spring is resting on around the bottom is bending, broken and not straight.

It's obvious with Honda pilot

Overloading or any of the aforementioned

Many cars in Nigeria are accidented vehicles exported into Nigeria. In many instances, the monocoque is already compromised, hence the K-leg.

The rear suspension of Honda Pilot and CRV are designed to bend outward when they are heavily loaded, to give them balance.

It's called negative camber. It improves the stability. Negative camber could be intentional from factory or as a result of out of spec alignment.

Is there a permanent fix for it or is it something the owner will have to live with

It can be fix permanently if you desire it. It was design like that by most car manufacturer for stability at speed. If you don't like, it can be design to your taste but provided you can manage to lower your speed
