[p]A Nigerian woman shared a story on Facebook about her children's nanny being asked to mourn her ex-husband who left her 20 years ago to marry another woman for 40 days after he recently passed away. The family of the deceased ex-husband expect the ex-wife to observe a 40-day mourning period despite him leaving her and their three children for another woman two decades ago. Additionally, the ex-wife is expected to stay indoors during this mourning period while the children are expected to provide funds for the funeral, which will be used to bury him even though he had children with another woman.

[p]The lady who shared the story on Facebook expressed her shock and disbelief at the request, emphasizing that the ex-husband left the ex-wife and their three children over two decades ago to be with another woman and even had children with her. The ex-wife was left to raise their three children alone, and now the family of the ex-husband expects her to mourn him for 40 days and stay indoors during the entire period. Meanwhile, the children are expected to provide funds for his funeral despite his having another family.
