A Nigerian lawyer has shared his surprise after discovering that a couple he helped to legally separate are now living together again — and have even welcomed a child.
The lawyer, identified as Victor, revealed that he handled their divorce case in 2015 but ran into them two years later, only to find out they had reconciled.
“I did a divorce case in 2015, and after two years I saw the two of them living together again,” he wrote. “They even have a baby afterwards. I was a bit ashamed of myself when I saw them, having played a role in their dissolution
His confession, shared on TikTok, quickly went viral, drawing a wave of reactions from Nigerians who found the story both amusing and thought-provoking.
One user, @doctor, wrote: “No, you helped them find themselves. You helped them realize they needed each other.”
Another user, @October31st✂️✂️, commented: “Sorry dear, don’t blame yourself. You were only doing your job, but thank God they are together now.”
@💥♥️💱💲💱💲CASH💲💱💲💱♥️💥 added humor: “My friend, were you not paid? It’s called job creation. Next time they consult you again. That’s the game — you don’t make decisions.”
Some took a more critical view. @keilahmwende4 said: “The guy thought that you wanted to take the wife, that’s why they got back together to make you feel that way.”
Another user, @iCE.TV, reflected: “It’s a sad reality in today’s world. Some people’s confusion can even confuse you. It happens a lot now.”
A user named @beatrice make amanda advised: “When it comes to these cases, please collect your money in advance because eeeeeee.”
Others, like @APOSTLE JENNINGS SERMONS, responded with humor, saying: “😂😂 You literally experienced ‘let no man put asunder.’”
The lawyer’s revelation has since sparked a wider conversation online about love, relationships, and the unpredictability of human emotions. Many commenters agreed that the couple’s reconciliation showed that some relationships only need time apart to rediscover what truly matters.
