A Nigerian man has shared a heartbreaking story of how his wife failed to return home even after two years, leaving behind her 5-month-old baby with her husband when she departed for the mandatory one-year NYSC program.
The shocking revelation was made public by a user identified as @sledge_baba on the social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). According to his narration, the young mother had traveled to fulfill the compulsory national service requirement, entrusting her infant to the care of her husband with the intention of reuniting with them at the end of the service year.
However, to the man’s utmost disappointment, his wife never returned home at the completion of the program. Repeated efforts to reach out to her through calls and messages proved futile, leaving the husband to cater for their child all alone. What made matters worse was the shocking response he received from her family when he sought their intervention. Instead of offering help, they simply told him to move on with his life, as if she had completely abandoned both her marriage and child.
Narrating the ordeal, @sledge_baba wrote …
“Saw this weird story where a woman left her 5 months old baby with her husband and went for NYSC. It’s been 2 yrs now and she hasn’t returned or even reach out to the husband.
He contacted her family and they told him to move on and not worry about her.
Inside life.”
The situation has sparked massive reactions on social media, as many users questioned what could have caused a mother to abandon her own child without any form of contact. In response to one of the comments, the tweep further disclosed that several people had reportedly sighted the woman in Abuja, where she is allegedly doing well.

@Ets_Ore remarked: “It must be jazz, I don’t think a human being can be this heartless to her child.”
@nyong_collins said: “They triggered her release clause and she has joined the new rich club. Let Oga just move on, everything will be fine.”
@Rabikeyetunde wrote: “She definitely found someone who deceived her with money, cuz it can only be that reason for her not to have returned.”
The strange disappearance of the woman continues to generate debates online, with many sympathizing with the husband who has been left to play the role of both father and mother for over two years. Others, however, have called for deeper investigation into the matter to uncover the real reason behind her decision to abandon her family.
