"I got married to a man my friend rejected" — Woman shares her story

A woman has sparked reactions online after revealing how she married a wealthy businessman her friend allegedly rejected, only to face accusations of betrayal and alleged attempts to ruin her marriage.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the woman recounted how the relationship began, explaining that her friend dated the man in 2023 but repeatedly told her she was not interested in him.

“My friend used to tell me that she doesn’t like the man. She was just there for the benefits because the man was still turning up for her whenever she needed him,” she said.

According to her, her friend disliked the man’s dressing and Igbo accent, claiming she could not introduce someone like him as her husband.

How she met her friend’s former partner
The woman explained that she lived with her friend at the time and frequently saw the man whenever he visited.

She said he was deeply in love with her friend, but the relationship did not progress because the friend was not serious about him.

She recalled that her friend had complained about the man’s appearance and manner of speaking.

“She said she doesn’t like the way the man dresses. She doesn’t like the way the man talks because the man is an Igbo man and he has this Igbo accent,” she said.

The woman added that her friend eventually lost the opportunity to pursue the relationship when the man stopped visiting.

About six months later, she said she unexpectedly ran into him at a shopping mall, where they exchanged pleasantries and shared contact details.

They subsequently began communicating on WhatsApp, allowing her to discover his personality.

“That’s when I discovered that this man is actually very funny, kind and he’s also a giver,” she said.

Woman discovers businessman’s wealth

According to her, she later discovered that the man was a successful businessman who owned six cars and a house.

She said she had not realised the extent of his wealth when he was dating her friend.

“This man was filled to the brim. He was into important business. You know, this big Igbo businessman. He had six cars and a house already,” she said.

The woman explained that their friendship gradually developed into a romantic relationship, and they eventually got married.

She admitted, however, that she did not inform her friend about the relationship until after their marriage introduction had taken place.

She said she eventually informed her friend about her decision to marry the businessman, but the revelation allegedly triggered a dispute between them.

Friend allegedly accuses her of being a gold digger

The woman claimed that her friend began insulting her, calling her names and accusing her of being a gold digger.

She also alleged that the friend told other people she had stolen her life, a claim she questioned because, according to her, the friend had previously rejected the businessman.

“She has been insulting me, calling me all sorts of names, that I’m a gold digger and all. She even went on to tell people that I stole her life,” she said.

The situation reportedly escalated when the friend allegedly began contacting her husband and making claims about the woman’s past.

According to her, the friend accused her of previously engaging in hookup activities and repeatedly called her husband with information she believed was intended to damage their marriage.

She maintained that her friend had every opportunity to be with the businessman but had chosen not to pursue the relationship.

“She had every opportunity to be with him, but she said she didn’t want him,” the woman said.

Woman speaks on alleged attempts to destroy her marriage

Expressing frustration over the situation, the woman said she understood that her friend might feel betrayed because she eventually married someone the friend had dated.

However, she maintained that the alleged repeated calls to her husband had gone too far.

“I understand that she feels betrayed by her friend, but calling my husband repeatedly, trying to destroy my marriage is getting too much,” she said.

The woman added that she had made several attempts to resolve the dispute, including asking other people to intervene, but the situation remained unresolved.

“I’ve begged her, called people to even beg her. I don’t even know what to do anymore,” she said.

Fake Twitter story

Nothing like betrayal here

You actually saw a future she couldn't see with the man and now she's being bitter

Only one question: is the allegation by your friend that you did hook up in the past indeed true?
Are her allegations against you true?
Would your husband love you more for bringing this matter online, where his wife describes him as affluent with six cars and a house, which directly influenced her decision to marry him?
There goes your truth.

my own na you do hookup abi you no do simple

TALES BY RING LIGHT

When we say men are the prize......
Na wetin we mean be this

Let her put herself in her friend's shoes.

And I hope she wouldn't find it offensive when Okafor's law plays out between her friend and her hubby.

Ladies listen, dat your man wey you dey take do shakara, e go surprise you the kind good lady wey go marry am. Better use your head and behave!

However, she maintained that the alleged repeated calls to her husband had gone too far.

The mumu husband no fit block her number?

Once a woman noticed you're a GIVER my brother your own don finish.

broke the sister code

Hmmm. Sounds like a nollywood script.

That's how that gender behaves.

They will reject a man and still get angry if any of their friend start dating the man.

When they reject a man, their prayer for that man is to be a loser and perish, let no other good looking girl date the man.

Their prayer is; any other girl that agrees to date the man they rejected should not look good so that they will laugh the man on the kind of girl that accepted him.

Women psychology is weird. Once they start seeing a guy with pretty girls, they get interested on the guy.

She's now interested on the guy because her friend that married the guy is likely pretty or more pretty than her.

Women likes or develops interest on a guy that other women like, even if the guy is not handsome.

Whatever sails your ship ma.

Take 23 hours to fear women

First time you are making sense here

Please chop his Money well well, it's all yours Fine girl

i can't judge her my only concerned if she is at receiving end hope she wont be complaining like her friend else....

You that got game, you have won a jackpot. You are shouting game as if that will add money to your pocket, atleast a man with no game is now a married man while you with plenty games is still rolling looking for ladies you will play games with, it is only a lady with no class will fall for your game

Just won't say anything as long as is them against them.

Na so…na Igbo man be the problem now. Every small thing una go look for an Igbo man to bash and blame. You didn’t read where she said that the man had great personality? Or you want the man to be a pauper or pretend to be poor because of women? You go suffer make your money, and also suffer to spend it due to stinginess?

Some of the ladies are witch, why dwelling in pain, you don't want him yet you still don't want anybody around you to want him as if the world revolve around her

You did right by marrying the man. Please stop begging that senseless friend of yours. It's obvious she doesn't have sense and that was why she rejected the man on such flimsy grounds.

Some ladies think that once they reject a man, the man would not be able to find another lady to marry. If the eventually finds someone else, they feel pained!

Please op, hold on to your husband tightly and never allow the jezebel destroy your marriage! I believe that your husband too, being a wise Igbo man, wouldn't allow the she-devil influence him at all.

Many ladies are single and going into menopause today because they rejected good suitors just like this one. Others would still not learn!
