A Nigerian man identified as @ugo-shib on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked debate after explaining why he deliberately avoids engaging in conversations with other women since getting married.

In a viral post, the man said he believes that getting too comfortable talking to another woman could lead to unexpected romantic feelings, potentially putting his marriage at risk.

‘I Don’t Want Problems in My Marriage’

Explaining his decision, the man said he prefers to maintain his distance from other women rather than risk developing feelings for someone outside his marriage.

He wrote:

“Since I got married, this is why I never follow any girl talk. Because you fit mistakenly meet this kind of girl with this vibe, and you go just fall in love. Omo, problem go enter your marriage.”

Although his post has attracted widespread attention, he did not disclose further details about his marriage or whether he had previously experienced such a situation.
