Popular comedian and content creator Abdulgafar Ahmad, widely known as TheCuteAbiola, has ignited conversations online after posting a skit on his Facebook page portraying a man who endures repeated physical abuse from his wife due to his financial struggles.
In the skit, which has since gone viral, the female character is seen assaulting her husband “time to time” because of his poverty. Despite the abuse, the man continually returns to her due to his lack of other means to feed or support himself.
Captioning the video, TheCuteAbiola wrote:
“She beats her husband time to time because he is poor, but because the husband has no other feeding option, he goes back to her.”
The content, while satirical in nature, has sparked mixed reactions across social media, with many viewers debating the sensitive issues of domestic abuse, gender roles, and economic dependency.
While some applauded the skit for shedding light on a rarely discussed form of abuse men as victims others criticized it for making light of domestic violence, regardless of the gender dynamic.
Mental health advocates and gender rights organizations have also weighed in, urging content creators to treat such topics with care and encouraging society to recognize that abuse against men, though less talked about, is a real and serious issue.
As conversations continue online, TheCuteAbiola has not released a follow-up statement, but his content remains a reflection of social issues presented through the lens of humor and satire a method he is well known for.
