A young Nigerian woman has turned to social media to explain why she is still in a relationship with her abusive partner.
Sandra, as she is known, claimed that despite the violence, she is still dating her lover because he compensates for his acts by lavishing her with expensive gifts.
Sandra chose to tell her experience in a TikTok video in which she displayed some of the extravagant gifts she received from her abusive partner.
Among the goodies were an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a selection of exquisite wigs.
However, there were terrible clips of Sandra crying and requesting medical assistance after being abused interwoven throughout the video.

Sandra, in an unexpected twist, expressed gratitude to her partner for these lavish presents, seemingly dismissing the physical and mental suffering she is experiencing in their relationship.
The film illuminates a complex dynamic that exists between them, one in which worldly possessions temporarily alleviate the pain inflicted by violence.
If you or someone you know is being abused or in urgent danger, please seek assistance from local authorities, hotlines, or organizations dedicated to assisting victims of domestic violence.
