A Nigerian woman has sparked outrage online after calling out guys who swear they can never marry single mothers in Nigeria but then married single mothers after moving overseas.

According to the lady, many Nigerian men openly reject single mothers at home while having no difficulty marrying women with children in other countries.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she said:

“Nigerian men will say they can’t get married to a single mother, but when they travel abroad and they hear ‘single mother’, they will jump on her.”

She argued that some of the same guys publicly display their foreign brides on social media with romantic remarks, despite the fact that the women already have children from past marriages.

The lady questioned why Nigerian single mothers are generally treated differently, claiming that many of them just left abusive situations.

“Most of you are getting married to single mothers in the UK, even single mothers of three, and you’ll post them with sweet captions saying, ‘I love you.’ What did Nigerian single mothers do to you? They didn’t do you people anything. They just couldn’t tolerate your behaviours,” she added.

She remembers witnessing a Nigerian man praise his wife on social media, only to find out later that the woman was a single mother of two.

Her comments have elicited conflicting reactions on social media, with some believing that there is a double standard and others arguing that marriage decisions are based on personal preferences rather than nationality.
