A young Nigerian lady has made headlines by publicly calling off her wedding during its final stages of preparation. She revealed in a heart-wrenching statement that her decision was driven by persistent physical abuse from her fiancé and a deep fear for her safety and well-being.
In a candid post shared on her Facebook page, she detailed the emotional and physical toll the relationship had taken on her. Expressing her desire to prioritize her mental health and safety, she urged all parties involved in organizing the wedding to immediately halt their efforts. Her statement read: “I have decided to call off the wedding, so those making preparations, I kindly ask you to stop ✋. I have had enough in this relationship.”
She further explained the severity of the situation, writing: “Before you lose me to physical abuse, it’s better I end this. I can’t be unhappy just because of love. I have seen people killed in the name of love 💔💔💔. Enough is enough. I am becoming toxic as well because of his behavior.”
Highlighting her resolve to break free from the toxic relationship, she continued: “Let me be single; it’s okay. To his family members, tell your son to stay away from me. I don’t want him anymore. I made this public so you can see the angel of a person he is 😭. #GBV is real. Better a broken relationship than enduring abuse. Don’t die for love.”
The post quickly gained traction, drawing widespread attention on social media. Thousands of users engaged with the story, offering their support and sharing their thoughts. Many applauded her courage for prioritizing her safety over societal expectations.
