Popular X user who goes by NaijaFarmer has weighed in on the trending story of a man whose wife allegedly took out a loan using their house documents without his knowledge, leading to attempts to evict him from the property.
In his post, NaijaFarmer expressed sympathy for the man, calling him a “great man” and revealing that they are close family friends.

He shared that the man had once advised him to include his wife’s name in the documentation for his first house in Abuja.
However, NaijaFarmer decided otherwise, instructing his lawyer to remove any name that wasn’t his, citing situations like this as the reason for his caution.
The incident has sparked a conversation on social media about financial trust and property ownership in marriages.

@Oloye: “I will do anything to support my wife, i will build a house for her, she will be my next of kin and a major beneficiary to my estate, but you see, while I am alive everything I own will be in my name alone. After my demise then they can do whatever they like, e no concern me.”
