The Nigerian woman is homeless.

From "father's house" to "husband's house".

In her father's house, her days are numbered. constantly being reminded that she can't stay too long.

In husband's house, she isn't secure either. She can be asked to leave for a myriad of reasons...

Your soup is not sweet.
Pack and go
Husband finds a younger prettier woman.
Pack and be going.
You don't have a male child.
Pack and go
Too many miscarriages.
Leave my house
Husband is broke
Carry your bad luck and go

See...? She has no home.

Why I'll rather have MY house.

A lot of you in the replies touting financial independence as the solution.

Financial independence is good but it is only treating the symptom not curing the disease.

The disease is patriarchy. Dismantle the culture and system of male privilege. Let's start from there.
