Hello NairaLanders,

What does Nigeria law say about property sharing among couple during or after divorce.

For instance, does the 50-50 sharing formula automatically apply to every divorce. What if the man had already acquired like 80% of the wealth before he married the woman?

Also, will the woman have to provide evidence that she was part of the wealth or property acquisition before a certain percentage can be allocated to her?

Is there no other way to make it work anymore? Have you try separation for a while Incase you both ended up missing each other and want to make it work? I'm just thinking out loud though

Every adult in Nigeria knows Nigerian women get nothing out of a divorce settlement. Let alone your imaginary 50-50 formula. 😏
