It all started after Twitter user, Sandra Ezekwesili tweeted about wanting her mother to remarry after she questioned why boys/men are more likely to be hostile to the idea of their mothers dating/remarrying after their fathers die. Her post reads;

Watching Elevator Baby.

Why are boys/men more likely to be hostile to the idea of their mothers dating/remarrying after their fathers die?

My mom and i talked about popci today and she mentioned missing him telling her she looked good.

Nigerian men started reacting to the post stating why they their mothers should not remarry should their fathers die. See a few reactions below.

Man I can’t stand the thought of my mom remarrying or dating. She can’t try it sha, she knows the kind of kids she raised and what they inherited from their father – Alex Chigoziri Edward wrote

If my dad kicks the bucket, the thought of remarrying should not even come close to her thinking faculty. She is certainly not going to retain my dad’s home if she does. All my dad’s legacies could be compromised as a result. It threatens the unity of the family, diversifies & divids her motherly attention. The man could by virtue of an emotional infatuation, cause her to derail – @Preside1982 wrote
