A Kaduna man’s declaration of undying love for his wife — despite a shocking hot water attack — has got social media buzzing
—
In what many Nigerians are calling either the most romantic or the most puzzling story of the week, a man from Kaduna State has openly declared that he still deeply loves his wife — even after she reportedly poured hot water on him.
The confession came from a Facebook user identified as Mohammed Suleman, who took to the platform on Tuesday, October 6, to share his ordeal — and his surprising reaction to it.
Love That Fire (and Boiling Water) Cannot Quench
While the details of what led to the heated — quite literally — confrontation remain unclear, Mohammed’s willingness to publicly stand by his wife despite the painful incident has sparked a massive conversation online.
For many Nigerians, the post raises serious questions. Was this an act of love or a dangerous situation being normalised? Social media users have been split right down the middle.
Some commenters praised Mohammed for his forgiveness and commitment, with many pointing out that true love is not always a smooth, easy road. Others, however, were quick to sound the alarm, warning that staying in a potentially abusive relationship — regardless of gender — is never something to take lightly.
Nigerians React
As expected, Nigerians on social media did not hold back. The comments section reportedly filled up quickly, with reactions ranging from admiration to serious concern:
– “This is love o! In this Kaduna sun, add hot water on top — and he still dey declare love. Respect!”
– “Bros, love is beautiful but please see a doctor first before writing Facebook posts.”
– “We need to normalise calling out domestic violence even when it’s against men. This is not romantic.”
A Conversation We Need to Have
Mohammed’s story, while unusual, shines a light on a very important issue — domestic violence against men in Nigeria. It is a topic that is rarely discussed openly, largely due to cultural stigma and the expectation that men must appear strong and unbothered at all times.
Experts and advocacy groups have long stressed that abuse — whether physical, emotional, or psychological — knows no gender. Men who suffer at the hands of their partners deserve the same sympathy, support, and access to help as anyone else.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, do not suffer in silence. Reach out to NAPTIP (National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons) or other local support organisations in your state.
