A UK-based Nigerian man, identified on X as Ugo (@heismric), has confirmed the end of his marriage after publicly alleging that his wife was involved in infidelity while he was working abroad and funding her education and family life, sharing a screenshot of an official divorce notification from the UK HM Courts and Tribunals Service to confirm that the final order had been granted, thereby legally ending the marriage.
Ugo, who shared a series of emotional posts that later went viral on social media, said the marriage has now been officially dissolved, adding that he received confirmation of the final order from the UK courts.
The couple’s relationship had previously been widely admired online. According to Ugo, the relationship began with a proposal in January 2023, followed by marriage in December 2023. They later welcomed a child in 2024, after which he relocated his wife to the United Kingdom.
He claimed he took full responsibility for the family’s financial needs, including paying her school fees and supporting her throughout pregnancy and childbirth. He also said he went as far as developing digital applications to support her well-being and their child, describing his efforts as part of his commitment to building a stable home.
After the birth of their child, he reportedly bought her a car as a “push gift,” a gesture that was widely shared online at the time as a sign of affection.
However, the relationship later deteriorated following allegations of infidelity. In now-deleted posts, Ugo accused his wife of bringing another man into their home while he was working in the United Kingdom.
In one of the viral tweets, he wrote: “It’s crazy you’re in my house, sleeping with another man, but I’m in London working my ass out to pay your school fees in GBP. No! Send your tuition to that man. He’s man enough to sleep with another man’s wife; he should match it with his funds. Divorce finalised, gtf.”
He also alleged that members of his wife’s family did not condemn the situation, but instead continued to demand financial support for her education.
“Because her family didn’t see anything wrong in it, but have the audacity to ask me about her tuition. Also I know the man, and his stupid ass is on my Instagram and X viewing my posts. Talking about, ‘I miss you, when am I seeing you again’ while she responds ‘as you should,’” he further wrote.
As the story gained traction online, reactions were divided, with some users sympathising with Ugo while others criticised him for airing private marital issues on social media.
Some users also revisited his earlier posts showing public displays of affection, noting that he had frequently expressed love for his wife online, while she maintained a relatively low public profile.
In a follow-up post on Monday confirming the separation, Ugo wrote: “UGO’s wife. Divorce is finalised. It’s ex-wife.”
He later shared a screenshot of an official divorce notification from the UK HM Courts and Tribunals Service, confirming that the final order had been granted, thereby legally ending the marriage.
As the story circulated, a supporter offered a detailed account claiming that the wife had been deported back to Nigeria following a failed plot by her family to have Ugo deported.
According to the account shared by a supporter: “Her family wanted to get Ugo deported back to Nigeria but got the shock of their life. She was deported instead and is currently in Lagos.”
The supporter compared the situation to a similar case: “Just the way my brother’s own got deported after cheating and burning his peppers and she is now selling thrift in Lagos. Ugo is in the UK doing well. He had his wife joined him in the same UK.”
The account continued: “Ugo has been so intentional with the wife and always talk about her on his Twitter page. ‘My wife this, my wife that’ never left his mouth. He spends in pounds to train the wife and even got her car as a push gift not knowing she was cheating on him.”
The supporter further alleged that the wife was not only cheating but that the child she gave birth to allegedly belonged to the other man: “The wife was cheating on Ugo with another guy who’s also in UK. She wasn’t just cheating, the baby she gave birth to belongs to the guy allegedly. She cheated on his loving, intentional husband Ugo on his matrimonial bed.”
According to the supporter’s account, after Ugo discovered the infidelity, his wife allegedly teamed up with her family to have him sent back to Nigeria, including by levelling false domestic violence allegations against him.
“After he found out, instead of being remorseful, she teamed up with her family to bring Ugo back to Nigeria. Her family tried to frame Ugo and accused him with false DV. The social services took up the information and carried out investigations, they found out that they were all false accusations,” the supporter wrote.
