A Nigerian mother has sparked conversations online after criticising her son for spending too much time at the gym instead of finding a wife.
In a now-viral video, TikTok user @olammy_akins shared a voice note from his mother reacting to a clip of him working out.
In the voice note, delivered in Yoruba, the visibly frustrated mother did not hold back as she slammed her son's obsession with weightlifting, calling it a waste of time.
"What exactly is your problem? What's this useless iron you're carrying around? We asked you to bring home a wife, you're there building useless muscle," she ranted.
She continued,
"Is it muscle we want to eat? Do you even think every woman likes bodybuilders? There are plenty women at the gym, you refused to bring one home. With all the muscles, we have not seen a woman following you."
The hilarious yet serious remarks resonated with many viewers who related to the cultural and familial pressure to settle down. The video quickly gained traction, with thousands of likes, comments, and shares across social platforms.
