Two Nigerian sisters, Adeze and Amaka, have stirred strong emotions online after releasing a heartfelt video publicly appealing for husbands.
In the now-viral clip, the sisters introduced themselves and openly shared their frustration over years of unsuccessful efforts to find life partners despite what they described as intense spiritual commitment.
Adeze revealed she will turn 39 on April 11, while her younger sister, Amaka, said she will clock 35 in September.
Speaking directly to Nigerians, they admitted they were no longer concerned about possible shame or criticism over their public plea.
According to them, they have “prayed, fasted, and done all necessary spiritual work,” yet marriage has remained elusive.
The sisters said family pressure has weighed heavily on them, especially as their younger brothers are already married with children, leaving them as the only unmarried siblings.
They expressed sadness over what they described as visible disappointment on their parents’ faces and said their greatest desire is to settle down and make their parents happy before it is too late.
In their emotional words:
“Nigerians, good morning. My name is Adaeze. My name is Amaka. She’s my junior sister. I will be 39 by April 11. She will be 35 by September.
We are using this video to beg anybody that will come across this video. We don’t want to talk about the shame anymore. I know a lot of people will condemn us for doing this, but we are tired. We have prayed. We have fasted. We have done all necessary spiritual work.
Still, yet, we are not able to see husband. Our parents are disappointed. Our younger brothers, they are all married, living with their children. We are the only ones in the family.
We see the disappointment in our parents’ face every day. We are begging you, if you come across the video, or you have a brother, you have an uncle that is ready to marry, we don’t mind. I don’t mind the tribe. We don’t mind the religion. We don’t mind whether you are in Nigeria or not.
We just want to settle down before our parents will leave without being happy because of us.
We are not perfect, but we know we are not living a bad life. I don’t know what the enemy have done. Please, help us if you’re seeing on this video. I’m tired of praying. I’m tired. If you have any brother that is looking for a wife, please. I’m interested. My sister.”
Since the video surfaced, it has generated mixed reactions online. While some Nigerians expressed sympathy and offered encouragement, others questioned the societal pressures that push women into such public appeals.
The story has reignited conversations around marriage expectations, age pressure, and cultural norms within Nigerian families.
