A Nigerian woman, identified as #_Debbie_OA on X, recently found herself at the center of controversy after sharing her commitment to waking up at 4:50 am daily to prepare food for her husband.
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 4:50am. https://t.co/UmbVVPIONM

The viral tweet from the lady narrated how she transformed her morning routine after her husband mentioned a colleague bringing two spoons to eat with her.
