Buy property in your name. Contributing to building a house with a man won’t stop him from taking another wife” – Lawyer counsels women.

A Nigerian lawyer has sparked a debate online after advising married women to secure their future by purchasing properties in their own names.

According to her, people often overlook the financial vulnerabilities women face in marriage, especially in a society where polygamy, separation, and divorce happen.

She advised women to remain committed and positive in their marriages, while also making smart and independent financial decisions.

Adding that contributing to their husband’s personal projects, such as building a house, doesn’t guarantee loyalty or marital stability.

The lawyer concluded by saying her advise was specifically for women, and if a man chooses to add his wife’s name to his property, it’s entirely up to him. However, she maintained that women must not shy away from owning assets independently.
