A Nigerian woman, Ella Chioma Ezeadilieje, has showered praises on her husband for his unwavering support and commitment to her and their marriage. Ella said she shared the story to show that happy marriages and great men still exist unlike the madness seen on social media. "This is what support looks, feels and tastes like. This Anambra man??? None like him. None. He carries my matter on his head...whatever it is, this man is a solution seeker," she wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday, August 13. I remember on 2010, we were married for just under a year, I had a job with UNICEF as a Master Trainer for Adolescent Reproductive Health and Sexuality and we were posted to different locations to carry out the job. When I got my posting, it was to Port-Harcourt and I pranked my new husband then, called and told him that I was posted to Maiduguri...crying that I will not go...its too far! Anambra man did quick calculations on the phone and said...how can you say you will not go??? How much is flight?? Wait, we will book flight to Abuja and from there to Maiduguri (he went to UniMaid), he was already making arrangements with people that will help me! The money was big and even if I took 4 flights, it was still worth it, so he kept pushing and saying...you must go! That day I knew that this one had my back die! I keep telling this stories because if we keep silent, younger people would think that social media madness is the standard for marriages. There are great marriages and greater men...na you dey find six packs and man wey dey do dorime for club! At the B Summit in April, many of you saw him in action. Generator failed...Anambra man shelled out half a million naira, got a new gen, helped dig a hole to mount the cable and got light!
