Wife's Thoughtful Gift Sparks Marriage Advice

A Nigerian man has sparked online conversation after sharing valuable marriage advice following a thoughtful gift from his wife. Abdulfattah El-Okene took to social media to encourage men to prioritize financial compatibility when choosing life partners.

The Game-Changing Gift

El-Okene's revelation came after his wife presented him with a pair of leather slippers, a gesture he described as significantly different from the conventional gifts women typically give their partners. He specifically mentioned that this gift represented a departure from the usual boxers and perfumes that have become standard in many relationships.

The excited husband shared his experience while riding in a keke (commercial tricycle), noting that he couldn't stop smiling after receiving the practical and valuable gift from his spouse.

Redefining Partnership Values

In his social media post dated October 11, 2025, El-Okene emphasized the importance of marrying what he called "Assets" - referring to women with financial stability and resourcefulness. His message contained a clear directive to single men who might be hesitant about marriage.

"Go and marry, you said no! See my wife changing the narrative from boxer and perfume," he wrote in his post that has since gained attention across social media platforms.

The man concluded his advice with the phrase "Ozidu all the way jor," further reinforcing his position on the importance of choosing financially capable partners in Nigerian marriages today.
