A Nigerian man’s Facebook post celebrating his 30th wedding anniversary has gone viral, but it has left many sympathizing with his wife rather than celebrating their milestone. In the lengthy post, the man praised his wife for enduring numerous challenges in their marriage, including his infidelity and family conflicts.
He revealed that his wife never once pounded yam for him, despite being an Ekiti woman who understands its cultural significance. He also recounted how she handled a situation where one of his “side pieces” demanded a room in their home, stating she had a right to live there.
The man further applauded his wife for embracing and financially supporting his daughter from a previous relationship, even allowing the child’s mother to stay in their home and share their bed. He also shared how she silently endured abuse from his family without retaliation or reporting to her own relatives.
In one instance, he admitted to being caught red-handed in an act of infidelity. When he begged for forgiveness, claiming he was under a spell, his wife grabbed a Bible and prayed for his deliverance instead of lashing out.
While the man concluded that he would likely be on his “5th or 6th wife” if not for his wife’s tolerance, many netizens expressed sympathy for her, suggesting that she was enduring the marriage rather than enjoying it.
The post has sparked widespread debate, with some praising the wife’s patience and others criticizing the man for glorifying her suffering. See the full post below.
