Agreed. And I was just highlighting that the odds of a domestic squabble between a naija-based couple turning deadly are just as high or even higher than a naija couple based abroad.
The odds are probably higher in naija because the male perps know full well that they can most likely walk away after 'settling' the police [unless the woman's family revert to vigilante action] and in many cases, the murder will even be hushed up supposedly for the kids sake.
