A Nigerian woman has sparked conversations across social media after announcing her return to her parents’ home, stating that her marriage “did not favour” her. In a video that has since gone viral, she shared her decision candidly while cooking in her parents’ kitchen.
Speaking directly to viewers, she said:
“I’m in my parents’ house. Marriage didn’t favour me and Kukuma go my parents’ house. Thunder fire marriage. See, I’m cooking in my parents’ house. If marriage didn’t favour you, sweetheart, Kukuma go to your parents’ house. You have parents at home. They will not reject you.”
The video quickly gained traction, drawing both empathy and criticism from Nigerians online.
Some users expressed support:
- Sophia: “Welcome back pls.. no one deserves to die in marriage. Take your time to heal, take corrections, and move on. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone.”
Others disagreed with her perspective:
- Ankuy: “Because it didn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for other women. Enjoy at your father’s house; we don’t really need to debate this.”
Several people reflected on societal pressures and lifestyle differences in marriage:
- Joe: “What will people say”? This statement has kept many women in abusive marriages. Marriage is beautiful, but if it’s hell for you, please walk away.”
- Mrleotunes: “Can you cook beans in your husband’s house with firewood? No. You’d make a poor man feel less of himself if he asked you to cook with firewood.”
The video has ignited a broader discussion on the importance of mental health, self-respect, and finding support during marital challenges.
“Nigerians I have returned back to my Parents house, Marriage didn’t favour me, Thunda f!re Marriage”
