A Nigerian bride-to-be has taken to social media to express her frustration after returning to her family home in the village to prepare for her upcoming wedding, only to find the house in a dirty and neglected state.
Bride-to-be returns to dirty house
In a now-viral TikTok video posted by user @doriskc1, the woman is seen walking through the house, pointing out layers of dust, scattered items, and rooms that had clearly not been cleaned for a long time. Her voice reflected exhaustion and disappointment as she lamented having to handle the cleaning alone.
She explained that her traditional and white wedding ceremonies are scheduled for the weekend, yet she has received little assistance from her siblings and other family members. According to her, she has been managing all the preparations single-handedly, which has left her overwhelmed.

Only me has been working since. This is not fair o. See how dirty everywhere is. Nobody wants to come back and help me. See kitchen."
