A Nigerian lady has left social media users stunned after sharing the blunt and unexpected message she received from her ex-boyfriend following the end of their three-year relationship.
The Shocking WhatsApp Confession
The lady, who posted the screenshots on her TikTok account @annysscents, revealed the chat where her former partner explained his reasons for breaking up. The message, sent on WhatsApp, contained a candid admission that has sparked widespread debate.
In the chat, the man stated, "I can't be with only you. I have never been with one girl all my life. Even when I get married I will still have a side chick. And that's not what you want." He further explained that only a woman ready to accept him as he is would be suitable for him moving forward.
He concluded the message by saying, "So let's just end this and forget about it. I hope this gives you closure. Move on." The lady captioned her TikTok post with the sarcastic phrase, "Man of the year indeed." She also added in the comments section that she felt like tagging all the other women he might have been involved with during their three-year union.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
The post quickly went viral, attracting a flood of comments from Nigerians with diverse opinions on the man's honesty and the nature of modern relationships.
Some users surprisingly supported the man's blunt approach. A user named favour commented, "I get this man Omo nah me go happy pass because I would accept him just the way he is..." Another user, Akp PEterz, argued pragmatically, "He's the best man out there for you , if he gives you peace take care of you , no abuses or domestic violence Omo be with him..."
However, others were critical and skeptical. User Ella._louis suggested, "This is not honesty, this is a man that's tired. Some people don't break up straight up they come up with impossible things like this so you will be the one to give up." The discussion also veered into broader societal debates, with some comments challenging traditional expectations of monogamy.
A Reflection on Modern Dating in Nigeria
This incident, which occurred and was posted online in December 2025, highlights the complex dynamics of relationships and breakups in the digital age. The act of sharing private breakup messages on public platforms like TikTok has become a common way for young Nigerians to seek validation, closure, or simply to share their stories.
The man's straightforward admission, while shocking to many, has opened up conversations about fidelity, personal expectations, and the definition of a successful partnership. It underscores a recurring tension between individual desires for freedom and societal or partner expectations of commitment.
As with many viral personal stories from Nigeria, this one quickly moved from a private heartbreak to a public discourse, showing how social media continues to reshape how we share, process, and judge intimate aspects of our lives.
