A young Nigerian woman has shared a deeply personal and painful story on social media, revealing how her devotion to a relationship led her to an extreme spiritual act, only to discover a devastating betrayal.
The Spiritual Sacrifice for Love and Compatibility
In a viral TikTok video posted by a user with the handle @premiumbabe, the lady recounted a period in her past relationship where she and her then-boyfriend faced a significant biological hurdle. They discovered they had an incompatible genotype, a condition that could affect the health of their future children and, by extension, their plans for marriage.
Hoping for a divine intervention, the couple decided to undertake a rigorous spiritual exercise. They committed to a seven-day prayer and fasting session, with the sole aim of praying for their genotypes to change and become compatible. For the woman, this was a serious act of faith and sacrifice. She was deeply in love and genuinely believed this spiritual journey was a necessary step to secure their future together and pave the way for marriage.
A Painful Discovery of Deception
However, the truth that emerged later shattered her faith and trust. While she was dedicating her energy, focus, and body to the intense fasting and prayers, her partner was living a double life. She later found out that he was actively cheating on her with another woman during the exact same period of their spiritual commitment.
This revelation made her question the entire foundation of their relationship. She felt profoundly misled and deceived, especially because she had approached the fasting with utmost seriousness, believing they were united in their goal. The experience took a heavy emotional toll, forcing her to confront the reality that her total commitment was met with dishonesty.
She expressed her anguish in her own words, stating: "Fooling was when I agreed to a 7 days prayer and fasting with a man that was actively cheating on me for our genotype to change so we could get married. Mind you he was in another relationship during the prayer."
Social Media Reactions Pour In
The video, which trended online after being published on December 2, 2025, sparked a flood of reactions from TikTok users who shared their sympathy and their own stories.
One user, @Vivirolan, commented with a shared sense of regret: "Fooling was when I did 7days fasting and prayer for my first boyfriend to stop cheating on me. I feel so embarrassed saying this now."
Another user, @Adedayo, reacted with shock, writing: "Ahhh Eyin ma tun gor yato ooo. You con still wear Corper khaki again ahhhhhhhh (in gehgeh voice)."
User @Debzrealty showed empathy, stating: "I wanted to laugh you but immediately I remember what I did for love I close my teeth." Meanwhile, some reactions were more dramatic, with user @??? ??????? exclaiming: "Ah!! Ehhh!!! Ewooohh!!! Yeee!!! !!! Jesuuuu christi oluwa oba!! Chineke nnam no na eligwe come and see oo."
The story serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional risks in relationships and the deep lengths to which people will sometimes go for love, even when the other person is not equally invested.
