A Nigerian man has taken to social media to recount in detail how he uncovered shocking secrets about a lady he was on the verge of marrying, simply by searching her old phone number on an app.
The revelation, which has since gone viral, was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @Thelovechild123. According to him, the relationship seemed promising at first, as the lady portrayed herself as a devoted churchgoer, regularly attending services, serving as an usher, and appearing highly spiritual. He also revealed that he had built a close bond with her mother, who often called to check on him, reinforcing his belief that he was preparing for a serious and godly union that could lead to marriage.
However, everything took a dramatic turn when curiosity led him to search her old number on Telegram. To his utter shock, he stumbled upon highly compromising content, including private photos and videos of her smoking, drinking, partying with different men, and allegedly living a double life. Among the disturbing discoveries were nude pictures and intimate videos, which completely contradicted the image she had carefully presented to him and her religious community.
He wrote: “Telegram saved me! I remember meeting this young lady last year. She was an usher, very devoted to church, and gave me the impression that she was different from the rest. We clicked instantly, she always prayed with me, and even her mum was very supportive. I genuinely thought I had found a wife until I decided to check her old number on Telegram. What I found shook me to my core—nude pictures, smoking, drinking, and videos with both single and married men. It was unbelievable.”
He further explained that at first he suspected the material could have been AI-generated due to her strong religious background. But after digging deeper, he confirmed that her nude videos had indeed leaked online, which reportedly forced her to relocate from Lagos to Abuja in a bid to escape her past and start a new life. According to him, this experience served as a major eye-opener and a warning to other men to thoroughly vet anyone they intend to date or marry.
He ended his narration with a piece of advice: “Dear men, don’t be deceived by appearances. Always check Telegram. You will be surprised at what you might find.”
The post has since attracted massive reactions online, with users flooding the comment section to share their views. While some criticized the man for not giving the lady a chance to prove she had changed, others supported his decision, stressing the importance of background checks in relationships. Many also pointed out that certain apps like Telegram and Snapchat often reveal hidden sides of people that they keep away from public view.
See some reactions below:
@Treshy__xo: “So y’all don’t forgive the past over here? She’s changed please give her a break!”
@Harkinola8: “Telegram and Snapchat are red zones. Never ignore them. Use the share button feature—it exposes frequently used chats.”
@tee90papi90: “I’ve been saying this for days—most women don’t think deeply before making decisions. They act on impulse without considering long-term consequences.”
@OnyemsVictor: “Church is like a hospital; it’s meant to heal people and bring them back to God. But many men go to church to look for wives, so some ladies who lived recklessly before eventually hide under church activities to cover up.”
@ViiktorrII: “Always check Telegram before dating or marrying. Your babe’s nudes might have leaked already, or she might even be selling them online.”
@gusss_0x: “Once her mum gets involved in your relationship too early, just know they’re setting you up to settle down whether you’re ready or not.”
@Sageof6partz: “Apps like Bigo and Snapchat are filled with wild content. Sometimes OS pop-ups expose what these people are really up to. It’s crazy!”
@drlinus90: “Overly religious girls in their late twenties or thirties are the ones I fear most. Sometimes, the extreme church lifestyle is a cover-up for their past. Don’t be deceived.”
