A Nigerian man has reportedly decided to end his marriage after his wife requested that he perform oral sex on her, an appeal that he found both shocking and deeply troubling. The incident has since sparked widespread debate on social media, raising questions about intimacy, cultural perceptions, and trust in marriages.
The story was first shared in a Facebook post by a woman identified as Albert Nneka Okpara on Thursday. In her post, she alleged that the man viewed his wife’s request as evidence that she had likely engaged in such acts with another man before, which he interpreted as betrayal. The husband, according to Nneka, was adamant that his wife’s knowledge of the practice must have come from prior experience outside their union.
In her post, Nneka wrote: “Man set to divorce wife because the woman begged him for head. He is claiming another man has been giving her the head that made her to ask.” She further noted that the husband appeared determined not to forgive or compromise, seeing the request as proof that his wife had been ‘corrupted’ or influenced by someone else.”
The situation has since attracted heated reactions online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the matter. While some people criticized the husband’s reasoning, labeling it insecure and immature, others supported him, arguing that his wife’s request was inappropriate and suspicious.
