Gladys Akibhor, a Nigerian single mother and divorcee, has shared a photo showing a permanent scar on her left ear, which she says is a result of her ex-husband's alleged cruelty. In a Facebook post on Saturday, June 20, 2026, she recounted how her ex-husband threatened to give her a mark she would never forget and then followed through by cutting her ear.
Permanent Reminder of Past Marriage
Akibhor, who describes herself as a proud divorcee and single mother to her son, wrote: "A proud divorcee and single mum to my handsome boy. The scar for my ear, I got it from my past marriage." She explained that when her ex-husband said, "I go give you mark you no go ever forget," she thought he was just talking, not until he cut her ear.
Impact on Daily Life
The scar has left her unable to wear earrings on that ear. "Indeed he gave me a mark that I will never forget and I cannot wear earrings on that ear," she added. The post has drawn attention to the issue of domestic violence in Nigeria, with many users expressing support and sharing their own experiences.
