Addendum:
1. If you dissolve your marriage under option 1, properties are not automatically distributed equally. They are only distributed based on 3 things:
- jointly acquired: If jointly acquired, the property is shared in the same proportion of actual contributions to its acquisition. Only financial contributions suffices.
- solely acquired: not shared.
- matrimonial properties: acquired during the marriage and towards sustenance of the marriage. They are shared based on the proportions contributions towards acquisition and it’s not automatic 50/50. Evidence of contributions must be proved, either through financial and non-financial contributions and the court considers sharing formula based on what is fair and just.
2. If you marry only under 2 and 3, upon divorce, nobody is entitled to any share of any property. You only take what you own in your name.
There are 3 regimes of legal marriages in Nigeria:
1. Statutory marriage: regulated by Matrimonial Causes Act and Marriage Act.
2. Customary/Traditional marriage: regulated by native laws and customs of different communities
3. Islamic marriage: regulated by Shariah/Islamic Law.
a. If you do any of the above, your marriage is LEGAL.
b. If you do 1, 2 and 3 together or 1 and 2 or 1 and 3, with the same person, your marriage is called DOUBLE-DECKER MARRIAGE and it is also LEGAL but usually most complicated marriages to deal with.
c. If you do 1 with one person and you do 2 with another person, your second marriage is VOID.
d. If you do 1 with one person and another 1 with a different person, without a divorce or a dissolution of the first marriage, that second marriage is illegal and constitutes BIGAMY.
e. If you marry someone under 1 and marry another person under 3, your second marriage is not VOID. It is LEGAL.
I tried ChatGPT Work for the first time today and I am impressed.
I one-shotted the output below.

See the prompt I used in the comment.
Input: Output:
That’s what end-to-end project delivery has given me, a deep understanding of both construction and project management; from concept and planning to procurement, execution, cost control, and project close-out..
As a project manager, you understand how every stage connects. It takes years of experience to develop that level of understanding, and it’s one of the perspectives I bring to construction and project management.
For my first five years in corporate America I had no promotion.
Then in my next five, I had three.
Same me. Same company. Different results.

Let me enlighten you all on something you wouldn't be taught ANYWHERE. This might shock many of you who would care to read.... but read if you would. Scroll past if you won't. Your decision.
Men were originally designed by the Creator to be physical protectors of women and the physical world, providers, they were built for it all. This is why they are the more rugged gender.
To fulfill this, the man was wired to have more emotional, mental and physical strength while woman was the much finer, delicate and spiritual gender, so that man, in his daily bustling to physically transform this world into a heaven on earth through his nature, he would always gaze at woman and be reminded of the home where he came from, never to forget the path that leads home while he hustles.
Any man who is WEAK (mentally, emotionally or physically) therefore naturally CANNOT be respected by woman, even if she wouldn't know why and even if she temporarily pretends to respect him.....cos her spirit knows and senses the truth, what should be.
But woman herself, in her role, also became something else, totally oppositely different from what was originally designed, orchestrated by no other mischievous being than LUCIFER himself.
All Lucifer wanted to prove to the Almighty during his assignment to enlighten man (Yes, he was the Prince of Enlightenment and this is why he was called Son of the Morning or the Morning Star, ages ago) was that He (the Almighty) was being TOO PATIENT and Merciful with these creatures (humans).
In his opinion, the Almighty was supposed to let the strong humans who passed his post enlightenment test go back to paradise and let the "disgustingly" weak ones perish.
He was impatient and didn't understand Divine Omniscient Love and therefore got angry with his Creator's rejection of his request. He therefore took laws into his own hands and cut off communication with the heights where he came from, with the Almighty. He stopped listening to instructions to have patience with these creatures of Creation.
Naturally, with his new attitude and disconnection from his source, he became denser and sank below with each move and decision he made afterwards. Till he sank to unimaginable depths. But he still thinks he is right and the Almighty is wrong. All he wants is to prove his point and laugh at the Almighty.
But Divine Omniscience? Nothing can beat it.
So, as a crafty and intelligent Being he was, Lucifer used WOMAN. The more sensitive and psychic of the species. Instead of that loving and true enlightenment, he decided to make woman (who was initially totally innocent and unaware), aware of her PHYSICAL CHARM on men and how she can appropriate it towards controlling men and how she can draw his attention to her and make him do anything she wishes and have everything enjoyable on earth through him. This was never the plan.
Woman tried it. It worked. She tasted the strategy and she loved it. She continued in it and man was too weak to say NO! He ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. THE APPLE. The deadly APPLE!
This is the meaning of the allegorical story told in the Bible and this is gow the fall of man took an unprecedented speed and thickened till today.
Woman and Man built on the trigger that Lucifer made and took it to depths that even Lucifer didn't expect. He was unexpectedly successful as he feels satisfied that he is making his point to God on how undeserving we are of patience and love.
All he needed to do was pick woman and turn her. The rest was history. But Lucifer still doesn't understand Divine Omnipotence and Omniscience. Also, Lucifer knows his fate and his judgment but he has sworn that he is not going down alone.
I would have gone into the consequences of everything and how it all ends but this would deviate far from the context in which i am responding to.
Following the unbelievable impact of that simple tweet on unlocking carrier-locked phones, which saved thousands in Nigeria and Ghana, I’m tempted to throw out a challenge: Everyone drop one life hack that could genuinely help others.
What’s that one hack you know? Kindly share.
While studying Mechanical Engineering in school, I never thought about becoming an Aircraft Engineer. The goal was simple... join my top guy in the marine engineering field after graduation, sail the world and stack money like the jews. But life happened. I questioned God when his death came, but God brought Aviation.
Why am I trying to bore you with the aforementioned story?
If you are in school studying Electrical, Mechanical, Physics, or Aeronautics please, if you can find your way into Aviation, do it. We might be facing a decline in skilled workers in the coming years.
Find Aviation Training Schools offering AME courses and attend. The ultimate goal is to get your license.
Be rest assured, you won't regret it with the right backing.
Not everyone will make it into the oil & gas industry, so let's think outside the box.
Be guided.
Good morning my people.
