A Nigerian TikTok content creator, known online as @eksschooloflife, has drawn widespread criticism following a controversial remark made about his wife during a TikTok live broadcast.

In the now-viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter), the social media personality boasted about his appearance and the attention he receives from much younger women. He claimed that ladies aged 21 and 22 often refer to him as “baby,” a term he admitted makes him blush.

However, what began as a self-praise session quickly took a shocking turn when he disparaged his wife in comparison.

“I’m still called baby by girls of 21, 22. When they call me baby, I blush. My wife is a fairly used mother of 4. A man going after her, his mental health would be checked,” he said during the livestream.

Backlash and Public Reaction

The remark sparked immediate outrage online, with many users condemning the statement as disrespectful, misogynistic, and deeply offensive—particularly as it targeted his own spouse.

Reactions on X were swift and unforgiving:

  • @Brighter6N: “Some people are just a disgrace to their family… What has he gained to say this trash about his own wife?”

  • @Deenoblee: “If this man get shame and sense pass you then your life don Manchester.”

  • @Mercytwts: “I will always say this—women, prioritise yourself. Most of these men see women as baby factories.”

  • @promise_ben10: “He is still looking young.” (This comment, however, sparked mixed reactions.)

Broader Conversation on Marriage and Respect

While some netizens dismissed the remarks as an ill-advised attempt to gain clout, many saw it as a troubling reflection of how some men perceive their partners—particularly after childbirth and with age.

The video has reignited conversations about the importance of mutual respect in marriage and the societal tendency to devalue women based on motherhood and aging.

As of the time of reporting, the TikToker has not issued a public apology or comment addressing the backlash.
