A marital dispute involving a Canada-based Nigerian couple has ignited a fiery debate on social media, following serious allegations made by the wife and a pointed response from the husband's kinsman.
Allegations of Infidelity and a Marriage's End
The controversy centres on Ada Igbo, a Nigerian mother of four living in Canada, and her husband, Chinedu Igbo. Ada went viral on Facebook after publicly accusing her husband of infidelity, claiming he had impregnated their maid. She cited this as a primary reason for her decision to leave the marriage.
The allegation, which gained significant traction online, suggested the incident with the maid occurred in January 2025. Ada's decision to air the family's private matters publicly set the stage for a wider community and online discussion.
Kinsman's Defence Questions the Narrative
The story took a new turn when a man identifying as a kinsman to Chinedu Igbo entered the fray. Using the Facebook name Nkwo De Mc, he posted a lengthy rebuttal that defended not just the husband, but the reputation of men from their community, Oraukwu in Igboland.
In his post, he praised Oraukwu men as standards of "honour, responsibility, and marriage excellence," raised with strong values and integrity. He directly challenged Ada's claim, using logic and the absence of evidence to counter her story.
"Biology and common sense are clear," he wrote. "A pregnancy that allegedly began in January 2025 should, by now, have resulted in childbirth. Till today, no maid has been presented, no baby has been shown, and no medical or factual evidence has been provided."
He concluded that the allegation was "not driven by truth, but by an attempt to pressure, manipulate, and turn an innocent man into an ATM machine," fabricated purely for financial gain.
Social Media Erupts with Divided Opinions
The kinsman's response did not settle the matter; instead, it fueled further debate in the comment section. Facebook users were sharply divided in their reactions.
Some, like Nweke Omah Happyness, questioned the kinsman's logic: "So she getting pregnant meant she must give birth..?? What if she or they got rid of the pregnancy..??? Did HE do it or not..??? That’s the question..!!!!"
Others expressed cynicism, with Sunshine Ijeoma commenting, "Always igbo men!! Always!! You guys are never beating the allegations!! Tueh." Meanwhile, Adaobi Onyeka criticised the kinsman for broadening the defence to the entire community: "Why are you roping Oraukwu men into this? So that people will leave the issue at hand and face Oraukwu people."
The online saga highlights how personal marital conflicts within the diaspora community can quickly escalate into public spectacles, drawing in family, community identity, and a global audience of commentators.
