A Nigerian man who goes by Dr. Stan on social media has gotten people talking after claiming he successfully banned his foreign wife from using social platforms for eight months.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Stan suggested that while Nigerian men typically can’t control their wives’ social media use, he managed to get his “conservative” foreign wife to stay off these platforms without any pushback.
He also mentioned that when she does return to social media, it will be on his terms.
The statement quickly went viral and divided opinion online. Many people criticized his approach, calling it controlling behavior and questioning what kind of marriage dynamic that represents.
Others seemed to find the whole situation amusing and didn’t take his claims too seriously.
The post has caused broader discussions about relationships, control, and cultural differences in marriage, with people sharing varying perspectives on whether such restrictions are acceptable between spouses.
