A Nigerian man has taken to social media to humorously complain about his wife's fashion choices, after she wore one of his prized native outfits to a church service. The incident, captured in a now-viral TikTok video, has sparked a wave of amusement and relatable comments from netizens across the country.
From Polo Shirts to Senator Agbada: A Fashion Upgrade
The video was posted on TikTok by a user with the handle @chief_hod. In the clip, he explains that his wife has a long-standing habit of wearing his clothes whenever she is heading out. He noted that this habit initially involved his polo shirts, but has now escalated to his more formal and expensive native wears, specifically his 'senator' outfit—a flowing, elaborately embroidered agbada often worn for significant events.
The footage shows his wife confidently dressed in the complete senator attire, ready to leave for a Sunday church service. The husband captioned the video with a plea to the online community: "You guys should tell my wife to leave my clothes alone. No be polo again na senator wear now." This translates to expressing that the issue has upgraded from casual polo shirts to his formal senator clothing.
Husband's Refusal and Netizens' Verdict
In a funny twist, the man revealed that this particular fashion borrowing was the reason he refused to follow his wife to church that Sunday. He lamented her delight in constantly wearing his belongings. However, the online court of public opinion seemed to side largely with the wife.
The comment section of the viral video was flooded with hilarious and supportive reactions. Many users pointed out how well the outfit fit her, suggesting it was now hers. User @KassiaErica summed up a popular sentiment, writing: "Your clothe is her clothe and her clothe is her clothe Periodttt."
Other notable comments included:

The consensus was clear: many found the couple's dynamic endearing and the wife's style impeccable, even in borrowed robes.
A Relatable Marital Moment
This lighthearted viral moment, published on December 21, 2025, taps into a universally relatable aspect of marriage—the shared wardrobe. It highlights playful domestic banter that resonates with many Nigerian couples and social media users. The video serves as a reminder of the everyday humor found in relationships, quickly transforming an ordinary Sunday morning preparation into a nationwide source of entertainment.
