A Nigerian woman who recently gave birth abroad has been left in shock after discovering that her father and mother-in-law, both invited for omugwo, are secretly in a romantic relationship.
The revelation was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by user @ChuksEricE, who posted a video of a lady narrating the bizarre situation.
According to the narrator, the woman invited her father overseas to help with omugwo—the traditional Igbo postnatal care—since her mother is late.
At the same time, her husband also arranged for his own mother to travel and support them during the period.
Initially, everything appeared to be going smoothly.
However, two months into the omugwo, things took an unexpected turn.
The woman reportedly discovered that her father had started an intimate relationship with her mother-in-law.
The post read in part “Her father came to do omugwo because her mother is late, and the husband arranged a visa for his own mother too. Everything was fine at first. But after two months, they began an affair and kept it a secret.”
The truth only came to light when the woman decided to review some video clips at home to check on her baby—and was shocked by what she saw.
As the story went viral, it sparked mixed reactions online, with many expressing disbelief and disapproval in the comments section.
See some reactions below:

@ponze2011: “Oya now! There is nothing we won’t hear.”
@OzedLamani: “The mother inlaw is shameless.. She has a husband for crying out loud.”
