It feels like I’m walking into an explosive situation. Let’s dive straight into the drama.
A secretly abused South African woman is crying for help, and the drama is about to unfold. She’s been married for an astonishing 15 years to a Nigerian bloke, and it’s apparently been a toxic relationship from start to finish.
The poor woman spills her guts in a viral video and reveals that she’s been subjected to mind-blowing physical abuse (and possibly even mental manipulation.) She claims to have reported these incidents to the authorities, but as she puts it, “they” (the SAPS & legal system) have been unhelpfully silent.
The woman’s plea doesn’t go unnoticed, and our social media streets are flooded with reactions
Some folks are left wondering which part of the video is staged—after all, this is the infamous “Mzansi Entertainment” we’re talking about One tweep quipped something about the husband being good “at making her feel like an idiot” and another speculated that the woman must have cheated on her husband, as if loyalty is the only explanation for her lack of self-respect
Just when you thought things couldn’t take off any further, an anonymous contributor chimed in with a tweet basically saying that any South African who Dates a Nigerian (regardless of age or gender) will have a love life that’s utterly doomed How’s that for a toxic ultimatum?
Now ask yourself: what kind of self-respecting woman gets married To a foreigner? And which part of this toxic relationship narrative is actually genuine?
