A Nigerian man has shared a heartbreaking story of how his wife, whom he sponsored through university and bought a car for, ended their marriage at a UK airport just hours after he arrived with their children.
The story, which surfaced in a viral video on X (formerly Twitter), details how the man supported his wife’s education at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and helped facilitate their relocation abroad.
According to him, after completing her education, his wife suggested they move to Canada, but when that plan failed, she proposed relocating to the UK. She traveled first, and he later joined her with their children.
Upon arriving in the UK on October 7, he informed his wife of their arrival. She showed up at the airport with six friends, some of whom she sent to take the children for a meal at a nearby shopping complex.
In a shocking turn of events, she asked to check their passports, removed the children’s passports without his knowledge, handed his back to him, and immediately declared their marriage over.
His words:
“When we got married, she was in her first year at UNILAG. I sponsored her education, bought her a car, and did everything a man could do for his wife.”
“She suggested we move to Canada, but that didn’t work out, so she proposed the UK. Instead of traveling together, she went first.”
“I arrived in the UK with our children on October 7 and called her at the airport. She showed up with six friends, using crutches with a cast on her right leg. When I asked what happened, she said she had a domestic fall.”
“She sent four of her friends to take the children to a shopping complex and then asked to check our passports to see if they were properly stamped. I handed them to her without suspecting anything. Before I knew it, she had taken the children’s passports, returned mine, and told me it was over between us.”
“I was speechless. I asked what the issue was, and she simply said, ‘I’m done with you.’”
As the story gained traction online, social media users flooded the comment section, expressing shock and sharing their opinions.

@shaw4116: “I have no sympathy. The signs are always there. The reality is before you marry someone you have to find out what and how they react in difficult circumstances.”
@Three16: “MEN pls plan for your old age and retirement very well starting today no matter how young u are. MEN pls be the pivot always Take charge, God made u the leader of the home for a reason.”
@OMALISA5: “Men are judging, they are not asking what led to her decision….until we know the whole truth…judge not.”
@BangerOdds: “The death hunting to kiiii you, took the cap. Are you not suppose to be grateful and move on? What does she mean by “…it was more of spiritual battle she fought and she needs deliverance to win her back”. Defending for an intentional act capped as spiritual? As how na .”
@IykeNwafor3: “The real sad thing in all of this is the lies this woman will the children about their father to justify it what she did, that is if he truly is their father.”
@jidebibi: “The man shld thank God that that woman did not plan to kpai him or frame him to be sent to jail. He shld face his life but never make any move to reconcile with d woman. U donbeg a woman that is tired of a marriage.”
@TVNDEY: “My little experience with women had taught me not to ever loose guard thinking a woman couldn’t do whatever she wants once she want it without thinking of the effect on you . Ignore the signs and your life will spoil unexpectedly “
@Princedommm: “Forget deliverance, why would he want to go back to her after all that? I think she’s definitely seeing someone else.”
@YakubTijani2: “Women are always brutal when it comes to decision making. They think far ahead of men. The best time you can marry a woman is when has accomplished and she’s in her natural environment where you can’t do anything to her. As long as she still needs something from you, you will never understand her motives.”
