“Don’t marry a man that has assets under his mother’s name” – Lady issues strong warning to women
A Nigerian lady has sparked intense debate online after advising women to avoid marrying men who register their properties and assets under their mother’s name.
In a video making the rounds, she warned women to investigate properly before marriage, especially when a man appears wealthy but has nothing legally tied to his own name.
According to her, flashy cars, beautiful houses, and a flamboyant lifestyle can be misleading if the legal ownership tells a different story.
In her words, she said:
“Never marry a man that has assets under his mother’s name. E get why. Before you marry that guy, make sure you do your findings.
Make sure all his assets are under his name. Some of you will see a flashy car and nice house and think when the marriage collapses you’ll get half. My sister, you will suffer.”
She went further to claim that a man who intentionally registers assets in his mother’s name may already be planning for divorce and trying to avoid future court settlements.
The lady also cautioned women against rushing into traditional marriages without understanding the legal implications, arguing that some women are carried away by luxury.
Her remarks have generated mixed reactions online.
One user said, “She may sound blunt, but she’s speaking facts.” Another disagreed, adding, “Not every man is planning divorce. This advice is too extreme.”
The video has since reignited conversations around marriage, property ownership, divorce settlements in relationships.
