She elaborated on her perspective, criticizing the traditional dynamics of Nigerian marriages. “An average Nigerian marriage only benefits the men. A good marriage in Nigeria is measured by the amount of suffering the woman can endure,” she explained in the video.
She also questioned the cyclic nature of marital expectations in Nigerian society, saying, “Every girl prays that their marriage isn’t like their mother’s, but did their mothers not pray before getting married?”

This young woman’s outspoken opinions have not only sparked discussions but also highlighted the broader societal expectations and challenges surrounding marriage and childbirth in Nigeria.
