Hi All,
My case is a bit similar to the discussion above.
I also got married March 2010 and divorced in 2014 got my ROR in December 2014.
I finally got my PR in early May 2016.
Does that mean i am qualified to apply for Naturalisation now?
Hoping to get a prompt response from you.

To avoid confusion & jumbled responses, I have moved your question to its own thread (this one) in the most appropriate forum (this one).

Are you currently married to a British citizen? If so, yes you can apply now. If not, you will need to wait until May 2017.
You cannot apply for a British citizen passport until you have naturalised.

Why the wait?
If the ex-husband was working throughout the early years of the marriage, she achieved PR in March 2015 and the 12 months have now elapsed.
As
Adewunmi's spoken of sponsoring of her new 'husband', I don't believe he can be British.
Now, unless Adewunmi's acquired a non-British EEA nationality, the only way of sponsoring him will be through the UK family-route (which she could do now) or via Surinder Singh once she's British. I must say SS looks tricky with Theresa May becoming PM on Wednesday.

OP has not stated when they arrived in UK nor whether they enjoyed their nuptials in UK;
to achieve the holy grail of ROR in 2014 it could have been as late as 2012 or 2013.
To "get PR" (the 'card'? or settled status?) in 2016 the clock must have started in 2011 or earlier.
But it is unclear when their PR clock actually started and when it ended.
OP, when did you acquire PR? (that is, the status);
- that date is not going to be the same as when you got your 'confirmation of PR' card (if you have one).
Do you have a PR card too?
