Eko Hot Blog reports that, in a heartwarming turn of events, an X user, Deborah Loveth Olaki, with username @_Debbie_OA, initially subjected to criticism for disclosing how she wakes up by 4:50 am every day to prepare breakfast and lunch for her husband, has become the recipient of unexpected generosity.

The heavy backlash she got from some some sections of X users attracted others, especially men who instantly jumped to her defense and began to raise funds for her in appreciation of her love, care and dedication to the union.

Deborah has since received over N2 million, Bed, Phones, Television sets, Refrigerator, an Air conditioner, and other gift items from Nigerians on the Micro Blogging app.

The lady went viral after she disclosed that she began to wake up at 4:50 am to cook for her husband after he told her that his colleague brought two spoons with her food so that they could eat together.

She tweeted, “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.”

The tweet generated controversy, with some individuals claiming she is insecure for feeling that she has to keep her man by waking up to cook for him.

A professor, identified as Uju Anya, who seemed displeased with the lady’s comment, condemned her actions.

Anya wrote, “So you’re saying you rise before dawn to cook for an able-bodied adult so that he doesn’t beg coworkers for food and fuck somebody for day-old rice and chicken.”

Another user, @emelleionaire, wrote, “Just married, and someone can steal him with small okro and pounded yam? So my sister in Christ, what is your war plan for when your beggar husband comes across stew that is sweeter than yours?”

Amid the conversations surrounding Deborah’s statement, some X users dug out a December 2023 post where she expressed her Christmas wish to own a mattress and a bed-side refrigerator.

The uncovering of the old post encouraged another X user to ask for her bank account details to support her to fund her needs.

After Deborah posted the details, various people started depositing money into her account.

Sharing screenshots of her account balance, she wrote, “She’fe pami ni? [do you want to kill me?]

“I’ve never seen this amount [over ₦500,000 at the time] before. I’ve been busy at the hospital, and turned off DND to see this, ahhh Jesus. Thank you all so much.

“Oh, I forgot to mention that an Angel recommended me for a Virtual Assistant role, Remote, 50k monthly. What else do I want??? Amazing Mercy😭🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽.

“Where’s the tweet with my account number again, gan sef? Please, it’s okay, I’m scared😭🙏🏽🙏🏽”

While commending her, an X user, @Captainchuks_81, wrote, “You went on your kneels using your office as the wife to ask God for help with a sincere heart for a loving husband and you think money is where God will stop. Brace up for more shocker, money is the least of things onise iyanu uses in showing off.”

Another user, @Benn_X1, wrote, “When men find a good woman on the TL, they praise her and even contribute money for her. Nobody is thinking about ‘snatching’ her from her husband. Any man who is rumoured to be a good husband automatically becomes a target for snatching.”

Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and a popular telephone brand, Infinix have also joined the long list of benevolent Nigerians appreciating Deborah, donating N200,000 worth of fuel and two Infinix Hot 40, respectively.

The NNPC limited through it’s official X handle @nnpclimited tweeted: “Hello @_Debbie_OA, we love your amazing love story, and we would like to gift you a free ₦200,000 PMS voucher redeemable at any of our 900+ retail stations nationwide.

“This will ensure that Mummy Zee has #EnergyforToday and #EnergyforTomorrow.

“We have just followed you. Please check your DM. Best wishes.”

Also, Infinix through its official X handle, @Infinix Nigeria tweeted:

“Hi, @_Debbie_OA we love that you use one of our phones currently.

“With that in mind, we would love you to experience the features of our latest device: The Infinix Hot 40. How does that sound?”

As of the time of writing this report, the lady is still getting more donations from well-wishers.
