Some people usually ask why Nigerian marriages keep collapsing abroad. The fact is, some women went into marriage as a means of survival. So when they face the reality of abroad marriage being more of partnership, they decide to quit the relationship because they can now provide for themselves fully. It is worse when they are providing more in the relationship. As can be seen in marriages involving nurses who were brought abroad by their ex husbands.
Moreover, Western countries have a better justice system than African countries. So women use this to their advantage. Women who ordinarily would have remained in their marriages (if they were back home) even while sharing bills 50/50 with their partners, simply file for a divorce because of the protection of women in the Western world.
