Nigerian women are among the most industrious and selfless group of people who work in healthcare. Marriage is suppsed to be a partnership with mutual love and respect. You don’t invest by assisting someone with opportunity then hope you can sit by and cash in forever on the other person’s labor. Regardless of the circumstances that caused the breakdown, we can all agree that there are no justification for these killings
