A Nigerian lady is on the verge of losing her fiancé after his mother saw a picture of her wearing a tight-fitting top and a pair of bum shorts.
The groom-to-be, identified as Zik Onna brought the matter to a discussion platform, Nairaland, asking for advice after his mother asked him to dump the girl.
He claimed the mother had met the lady and had no problems with her until one day when she went through her Whatsapp status and saw the offending picture.
Zik said the mother did not like how the bum shorts revealed his fiancee’s thighs and ordered him to leave her for a more decent woman.
He claimed he loved the woman and would love to spend the rest of his life with her.
Opinions are divided on the matter. While some supported the mother, others who appeared to be in the majority believed there was nothing particularly wrong with the dressing.
See Zik’s write up below:
“I need serious advice. I grew up an only child, raised by a single mum. My dad abandoned us as when I was a kid and few years later he died in an accident. My mum is the most important person in my life and I love and respect her. She is also a very religious woman and raised me so.
I am settled and ready to get married and I have met the woman I am sure is the one for me. My mum has met her once and although she had her reservations she wasn’t opposed to it. But yesterday while going through my fiance’s whatsapp status(bacause she has her number), she came across the picture below and because of it, she is now opposed to the marriage. According to her, she can’t let her only child get married to a girl that wears bum shorts in public. She says “this sort of dressing is from the devil”
I have tried to explain to her that my girl isn’t like that and she only wears clothes like that once in a while. My mum is still adamant. She wants me to end our relationship and find a “responsible woman”
I am currently torn between my mum and the woman I have decided to spend the rest of my life with. I am afraid that if I disobey my mother’s instructions, it would lead to serious circumstances as she is also my spiritual mother.
I do not know what to do. Look at the picture below. I really don’t see anything wrong. I cropped her face to maintain anonymity.”
