A Nigerian man living in the United Kingdom believes that if a woman does not fatten her husband after marriage, she has failed as a wife.
On Facebook, a man who goes by the name Austin Deko pushed the argument.
According to Deko, a woman has fulfilled her role as a wife if her husband has not gained weight after five years of marriage.
In his words:
“You have failed as a woman if your husband didn’t gain weight after 4 to 5 years he married you.🙄”
His post has provoked a plethora of reactions from netizens:
