Nigerian music star Ruger has made headlines by humorously revealing that his mother has given him a hard deadline of December 2025 to settle down and bring a serious partner home, or face being set up by her. In response, the singer playfully invited interested women to send in “applications” for consideration.
Sharing the story on his Snapchat, Ruger explained that his mother warned if he doesn’t present a committed partner by December, she will take matters into her own hands. As he put it:
“My mama don give me December as deadline. If I no bring one serious girl come house, she go arrange one for me. Ladies, pls send in application. If not, I will be on distress sale by December.”
The entertainer’s humorous post reflects a mix of familial pressure and media-savvy self-presentation, playing on the idea of “distress sale” to dramatize the stakes.
In a separate earlier statement, Ruger had candidly spoken about finding it challenging to love like others, suggesting a complex relationship with romance and emotional expression.
What started as a lighthearted anecdote quickly went viral: reportedly, over 1 million Nigerian women submitted joking “applications” in response to Ruger’s call, a testament to his fan base’s engagement and playful interaction.
