A young woman has gone viral after proudly flaunting her wedding ring while calling out friends who once told her not to cook, do laundry, or spend money on her man.
The woman’s video, shared across multiple social media platforms, shows her beaming as she displays her ring finger, a symbolic clapback at those who once discouraged her from being “too submissive” in a relationship.
Her post immediately drew attention online, with thousands reacting to her apparent victory over what she described as “modern dating advice” that almost cost her happiness.
Debate over marriage and feminism intensifies
The viral post reignited debates around feminism, submission, and gender roles in modern relationships.
Some users argued that many Nigerian women have been misled by extreme feminist ideologies, which they say discourage traditional expressions of love such as cooking or caring for one’s partner.
Several commenters criticised what they see as hypocrisy among feminists, claiming that some secretly desire marriage while publicly condemning it. One comment read, “They say marriage is not an achievement, yet deep down, they all want it.”
Others defended feminism, insisting that equality in relationships doesn’t mean rejecting acts of love like cooking or helping one’s partner.
They argued that the woman’s happiness stemmed not from submission, but from mutual understanding and respect in her marriage.
Calls for wisdom in relationship advice
Beyond the heated debate, many users advised couples to seek wisdom rather than blindly follow societal opinions.
They warned against taking relationship advice from friends or influencers who have not maintained successful relationships themselves.
A popular comment read, “If your friend has never had a stable relationship, why let her guide yours?”
Others encouraged young people to build relationships based on communication, compromise, and emotional maturity instead of internet trends.
