A video of a Nigerian woman preparing akara (bean cakes) for her boyfriend has gone viral, igniting a heated discussion about relationships, gender roles, and expectations.
In the original clip, the woman explained that she was making akara because it was what her boyfriend wanted for breakfast. While many praised her thoughtfulness, others, particularly female viewers who stitched the video, criticized her harshly, accusing her of being a “slave” in the relationship.
Responding to the backlash, the woman posted a follow-up video, stating: “If my boyfriend is doing right by me, giving me everything I ask for, what’s his appetite that I can’t tend to? Making akara is the bare minimum.”
The debate intensified after another viewer commented, “Honestly, if you like date or marry a selfish woman, you’ll suffer later,” highlighting contrasting opinions on reciprocity and mutual care in relationships.
The incident has sparked broader conversations online about expectations in modern relationships, the balance between personal effort and mutual respect, and how social media amplifies debates on what some see as everyday acts of love and commitment.
