“I don’t wake up early, I can’t cook” – Lady laments over family pressure to settle down, says she’s the wrong person
A Nigerian lady has gone viral after opening up about how constant marriage pressure in her village conflicts with her laid-back lifestyle.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she revealed that villagers constantly question her about when she plans to settle down, but she has chosen to live life on her own terms.
According to her she wakes up late, spends hours scrolling through her phone, goes clubbing, and pays little attention to societal expectations.
In her words, she said:
“I went to the village, and they keep telling me about marriage. The last time I cooked a proper meal was three years ago. I wake up by 12, I scroll through my phone for three hours.”
She explained that she is not following anyone else’s schedule or life plan but her own.
Her daily routine, she noted, is slow, relaxed, and far removed from the traditional lifestyle many expect her to embrace.
Despite the mounting pressure from family members and villagers, she appears unfazed, choosing to enjoy her freedom and move at her own pace.
The video has since sparked mixed reactions online.
One user wrote, “Village people no dey ever mind their business when it comes to marriage.” Another commented, “Enjoy now, but life no be only clubbing and scrolling phone.”
