A young man’s revelation that a lady has allegedly told him that she would not like to marry a man whose mother is alive has left many people in a state of shock.

The Nigerian man identified as Wisebaba took to social media to narrate how he angrily blocked a lady after she disclosed to him during their conversation that she was only interested in a man whose mother is dead.

Was chatting with this girl yesterday, and she said she doesn’t like the idea of getting married to a man whose mother is still alive. I block her papa asap,” Wizebaba wrote.

It is unclear why the said lady wants her potential husband's mother to die before he can qualify to marry her. Maybe, she will turn down a man's proposal regardless of how good and suitable he is, just because his mother is alive.

Meanwhile, a 37-year-old reality TV star has lamented how she has invested heavily in relationships for years but they all left her heartbroken, leading to her remaining unmarried.

Tokunbo Idowu, also known as TBoss disclosed this on Sunday, June 20, 2021, while wishing herself Happy Fathers’ Day.

According to the Big Brother Naija 2017 finalist, if anyone had told her that she would still be without a husband at her current age, she would have rebuked the person because she has always envisioned being a mother and a wife.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, the Nigerian mother of one patted herself on the back while narrating how challenging motherhood is but she always portrays it as a beautiful thing.

Read TBoss’ lamentations below:

“If Anybody had told me that I would get to this age and not be married, I would have rebuked them. I was the girl that always imagined being a wife & mother.

“I have literally NEVER envisioned my wedding day except that it would be nice to have it done on a beach without shoes on & I would like to have my natural hair- no weaves nothing. Just us both, close family & loved ones.

“Y’all can’t even imagine how much I have given to my relationships. I gave till I had nothing left for myself. I have been heartbroken too many times and yet I never gave up on love. Still haven’t-ish. But Alas, life had other plans for me.

“I’m a single mother. I laugh when I see some of the comments about how I make motherhood look so sweet & I get lots of dms about ladies wanting to have kids because of my portrayal of Motherhood. Thanks. I’m flattered.

“However, it is HARD- Last night I was up begging & screaming at my daughter to go to sleep at 4:30 am. The night before it was 5:30, the one before that was 5:am- She just wasn’t having it.

“I don’t get a chance to do my own stuff, I can’t get a moment to shave my armpits or have a proper convo with my friends because lil mama is gonna cook her teddy bear in the middle of the living room, taking a sh*t in private is Luxury.

“My body’s changed tremendously, I’m losing hair, my eyes are puffy and Black and sunken. I can’t afford to have off-days because my mood would affect hers. Days when she’s under the weather- I lose sleep so badly that I break down as soon as she gets better. Pampers, wipes, baby food, clothes, cosmetics ain’t cheap. Constantly wondering if I’m doing the right thing? Constantly thinking about her future.

Constantly looking out for opportunities to invest for her, losing money- Last week I lost so much money I’m yet to break down from that one and yet Every single day I get up- Grumpily sometimes but I show up for my Daughter.

“I do it for her regardless of my emotions. You know why? Because she didn’t ask to be here. I made the decision to have her and I’m gonna see this journey blossom till I draw my last breath

“So, Happy Father’s Day to Me and all you Beautiful mothers & Amazing Fathers out there.”
