A Nigerian woman has caused a stir on social media after publishing a list of strict and controversial conditions she expects her future husband to meet.
Her demands, which many have labeled extreme, include the man being a virgin, adopting her surname after marriage, and handing over his entire salary to her.
The list, shared on X (formerly Twitter), also stipulates that her ideal partner must not argue with her, must perform domestic chores, and dress modestly. She added that if he were to gain weight during the marriage, she would consider filing for divorce.
The post quickly gained traction online, triggering a wave of reactions ranging from disbelief to sarcasm. While some users criticized the post as unrealistic and controlling, others sarcastically commented on how such expectations mirrored what some men impose on women—reversing traditional gender roles.
What seemed to fuel the outrage was the one-sided nature of the list, as the woman did not indicate what she herself would bring to the marriage, prompting many to question the balance and fairness in such a relationship model.
The incident has reignited conversations about gender expectations, relationship standards, and the growing trend of controversial online opinions being used to gain attention. Whether satire or serious, the post has certainly succeeded in sparking widespread debate across social media platforms.
“Must be a virgin
Must be submissive
Must not talk back
Must cook and clean
Must dress modestly
Must take my surname after marriage
If he loses his figure, Divorce!
Must submit his salary to me.”
