A young lady has stirred intense debate online after declaring that if her marriage ever ends, she would leave everything behind, including her children, for her husband to care for.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman explained that she plans to sign an agreement with her husband before marriage in case things go wrong.

She wrote: “My husband and I will have a written agreement that if ever our marriage ends, he’ll take the kids and I’ll leave with nothing.

“I get them on weekends and holidays and I’ll be checking in on them. My status will be ‘Oh, I’m single and I have two kids but they’re growing up nicely with their daddy.’”

Her post quickly went viral, drawing thousands of mixed reactions from social media users.

A user named Ibukun commented: “Na wa o, you no want make your marriage successful?”

Vivian added: “Women are the most toxic in relationships yet they are still the ones claiming victims. Why can’t you hope for the best in marriage and not these?”

Leshey said: “I wish more women would have this idea. They’ll instead take the kids and expose them to this cruel world to prove their point 😔”

Another user, Suem, disagreed, writing: “Kids who grow up with their father while their mother is away always hate their mother because they feel abandoned. Nothing can replace the absence of a mother in our lives.”

Mr Onyancha commented: “I didn’t know being the parent that stayed with the kids was this frowned upon. To me, that would be an awesome win.”
