A Nigerian woman has sparked widespread online debate after recording a video in which she made a solemn vow of faithfulness to her husband, invoking a divine penalty if she ever broke her promise. The woman, identified as the wife of Franklin Chimobe Nguanore, posted the clip on social media, where it quickly went viral.
Woman's vow and divine penalty
In the video, filmed indoors in what appeared to be a home setting, the woman directed her words specifically at her husband, Franklin Chimobe Nguanore. Speaking in a calm, composed tone, she declared that she would remain faithful to him. She added that if she ever became unfaithful, she was willing to die as a consequence, calling on God to take her life.
Vow extends beyond fidelity
The vow did not stop at fidelity. The woman went on to commit to being a good wife and a devoted mother to their children. She asked God to grant them both the grace to build a healthy and godly home. She also prayed that their marriage would become an example and a source of inspiration to other couples and families.
Nigerians react to the vow
The video drew a wide range of responses from Nigerians. Nneka commented: "Marriage has no universal formula. If this decision brings peace to your home, who are we to judge? Only God truly knows what you’ve been through. Even from the way your husband spoke, it sounded like he’s someone who may have put you through a lot, especially in the early years of your marriage."
Mercy China said: "Soon other wives go join. It will now be new pattern. But am sure no man will follow his wife to shrine to swear that's if na shrine them dey use."
N-vibes added: "Amen and Amen. I refuse to be judgemental as I do not know what you have been through and still going through. May God strengthen you and give your home and family that peace and stability you wish for."

In a previous report by Legit.ng, a young Nigerian lady shared an emotional post on TikTok, crying bitterly and denouncing her faith in God. In that heartbreaking video, she broke down in tears and disclosed why she had taken the decision never to pray to God again.
