Nigerian couple in UK headed for divorce after dispute over sharing monthly bills
A Nigerian couple living in the United Kingdom is reportedly heading for divorce following a disagreement over how to share monthly household expenses.
This was reported by a friend to the couple who shared the drama online.
Friend recounts what transpired
According to a friend of the couple, the man, identified as Ejike, relocated his partner from Nigeria to the UK, where both later secured employment as nurses. The woman now earns about £2,500 monthly, while Ejike earns roughly £2,700, bringing their combined income to £5,200.
Their monthly bills reportedly amount to £2,300. Ejike is said to have asked his partner to contribute £1,000 while he covered the remaining £1,300. However, after paying her share for three months, her behaviour allegedly changed, leading to rising tension in the home.
Lady files for divorce
The friend claimed that the woman has now begun filing for divorce, sparking online conversations about finances, expectations, and relationship dynamics among migrant couples in the UK.
He said …
“My guy Ejike brought his girlfriend from Nigeria to UK. Two years after she graduated come begin work as a nurse in UK. The girl makes £2500/month. The guy too is a nurse and he is collecting £2700. That’s £5,200. The guy said their bill a month is £2300. He told the girl to bring £1000 and he will bring £1300. This girl paid this bill for 3 months her attitude changed.
