A Nigerian man, Ubong Uwak, has faced severe backlash after beginning a search for a new partner just weeks before his late wife’s burial.
Uwak, 41, took to a Facebook group for Christian singles on July 9, 2025, to introduce himself and declare his interest in finding a “God-fearing sister.”
The post, made in the God Fearing Singles group, came despite preparations being underway for the burial of his late wife, Glory Ubong Uwak, scheduled for August 1 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
The post was made in the God Fearing Singles group even though plans were in motion for his late wife Glory Ubong Uwak’s funeral, which was set for August 1 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
“Good morning God-fearing faithfuls. I’m Ubong Uwak from Nigeria, 41yrs. Widower, no kids yet, hoping to have someday. Let’s praise God together. Feel free to message. New here. I need a God-fearing sister,” he wrote.
On his personal Facebook page, Ubong shared his late wife’s obituary flyer a few days later on July 20, expressing sorrow over her premature passing and lamenting her loss.
“Princess, I can’t still place my hands on what happened. But God will avenge your death. God be with you till we meet again. I will love you till eternity. Rest on,” the post read.
The couple reportedly got married in 2020 and had no children. The cause of Glory’s death remains unclear.
Social media users were quick to react to Ubong’s posts, with many questioning the timing and sincerity of his mourning.
One Facebook user, Sandra Okereke, commented, “Dear Young Woman. Please, don’t go and die for nothing o. Dear Glory is yet to be buried but just imagine what the husband of her youth is doing on Facebook! Glory’s death is still questionable o. It is well. Just imagine what Men are doing.”
