A Nigerian woman who previously made her husband swear a public oath of fidelity is now celebrating the death of her mother-in-law, according to Punch Newspapers.
The woman, who is based in Canada, had reportedly demanded her husband swear a covenant of loyalty before she would sponsor his relocation abroad. Multiple Nigerian outlets, including Punch Newspapers, Vanguard News, and Legit.ng, covered the original incident, which involved the wife insisting on a public oath due to suspicions of infidelity.
Punch Newspapers reports that the woman has now expressed joy over her mother-in-law's passing. The development follows the earlier controversy, which drew widespread attention on social media in Nigeria. The woman had accused her husband of infidelity and required him to take a solemn vow as a condition for her continued sponsorship of his move to Canada.
The case has sparked ongoing discussion about trust, marital obligations, and the dynamics of sponsorship in cross-border marriages within the Nigerian diaspora. The woman's reaction to her mother-in-law's death has added a new layer to the public debate.
Observers are watching to see whether the couple will address the latest development publicly.
