An abroad-based Nigerian woman has shared why she walked out of her four-year marriage, revealing that she left her husband and returned to single life after repeated disagreements over finances.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that they had been operating a 50/50 arrangement since relocating abroad, sharing bills and responsibilities equally.
In her words, she said:
“Since we are doing 50/50, yes we are doing it, but now you still want to collect part of my money. We have been sharing everything equally, so why is my own personal money now a problem?”
The situation reportedly escalated after the couple received a backdated company payment of about £4,000 for work previously carried out.
According to her, her husband insisted that she contribute part of the money despite their agreement to split responsibilities equally in the home, a demand she said led to a major conflict between them.
“We are doing 50/50, but you still want to control my money. You even calculated how much I should bring from my personal earnings. That was my breaking point,” she added.
Her revelation has since sparked mixed reactions online, with social media users debating whether 50/50 arrangements truly work in marriages, especially among couples living abroad.
The situation has also reignited conversations about money, control, and financial boundaries in modern relationships.

“I left my husband that I have been with for four years now. I am back to the street. We have two children together. I left him last week and the reason is since we came to the UK, he’s been wanting 50/50.”
