TRENDING: Nigerian woman ‘mocked’ for preparing husband’s meal at 4:50am gets over N3m cash, scholarship, other gifts
X (previously Twitter) users have contributed almost N2 million to a Nigerian lady who was chastised for waking up at 4:50 a.m. every day to prepare lunch for her husband.
The lady, simply known as Deborah Loveth (Mum Zee), went viral after she revealed why she gets out of bed quite early to cook her husband’s lunch.
Mum Zee said she started doing it on a daily basis after her husband told her that one of his coworkers (a female) took two spoons with her food to work so they could eat together.
“I’ve always been too lazy to wake up and get his lunch ready. But the day he told me a colleague brought two spoons so he’ll eat with her, was the day I set my alarm for 4:50 am,” she wrote.

Nobody will tell you the truth, you’re the only person that can tell yourself the truth. If you don’t feed and take care of your man, another woman will do that for you

Let draggers drag. You are a very smart woman. I doubt he even said it to threaten you but just telling you what’s going on at work. But as a sharp lady, you read the situation and took action. Well done.

In a follow-up tweet, she shared a screenshot of her account balance, showing that the donations had passed over N2 million.
She also pleaded with X users that the donations were enough, adding that she was getting “scared”.
“Where’s the tweet with my account number again sef. Please it’s okay, I’m scared,” she wrote.
Loveth has also been receiving gifts from X users — ranging from phones, bed frames, and food items — with some users promising to repaint her apartment and get her a vehicle.
She also disclosed that someone has recommended her for a remote job where she will earn N50,000 monthly while her husband was offered a scholarship to learn data science.
