According to the businesswoman, preparing food for her husband even though she was sick was a way of showing love.

She revealed that she had donated blood to some of the victims of the Ibadan explosion and was feeling unwell due to malaria, which she had never experienced before.

After noticing that she was unwell, she contacted a nurse who gave her a drip and injections to help make her better.

However, she didn't want her husband to return home to an empty house so she insisted on preparing Semo for him.

Her husband, who didn't like the idea of her preparing his meals in such a condition, criticised her for her actions and urged her not to overexert herself.

She wrote;

“Things we do for love. I was down with malaria yesterday, and probably the blood donation made me feel weak the first time, I was home with the kids and I called a nurse around to check on my health because I was feeling weak.
"She gave me a drip and some injections, but I didn't want my husband to come home without eating dinner, I struggled to enter the kitchen to turn Semo for my hubby.
"Almost done with the food preparation, hubby walked in and shouted at me to stop stressing myself. I told him not to worry that these are the things we do for love.”

The woman received backlash from netizens, who claimed she wanted people to donate to her as they did for Mummy Zee.

Reacting to the backlashes, Eniola asked netizens to drag her with 'mercy' because she didn't kill anyone.

Mummy Zee gets N2m from Kuda, NNPCL gifts her voucher for being good wife

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a kind-hearted Nigerian woman who took care of her husband got more gifts for her gracious act. Days after she tweeted about her marriage, Kuda Bank gifted her N2m to add to the money Nigerians had given her.

The bank's generous gesture came after NNPCL gave the woman N200,000 worth of fuel voucher. Recall that some people earlier criticised the woman for depriving herself of comfort and cooking at 4:50 am for her husband. In days, Nigerians came to her rescue with big blessings.

Minutes after Kuda Bank made their giveaway tweet, many people praised the God of Debbie (Mummy Zee) for blessing her richly. This came at a time when organisations like Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) sent great gifts to the woman and her family.
