Ruger Hints at Marriage Ultimatum from Mother, Invites Women to Apply Before December

Popular Nigerian music star Ruger has publicly opened up about a deadline his mother has given him to settle down, sparking humorous reactions and genuine interest online.

The chart-topping artist recently took to his Snapchat account to share an update about his relationship status—or lack of it—and what appears to be a family-imposed deadline.

In a candid and lighthearted message, Ruger disclosed that his mother has issued an ultimatum: find a serious girlfriend before December 2025 or she’ll take matters into her own hands by selecting a bride for him.

“My mama don give me December as a 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,” he wrote.

The “Asiwaju” crooner jokingly warned that without a romantic partner soon, he may end up being on “distress sale” by the end of the year.

This statement has stirred amusement among fans, with some sympathizing and others teasingly volunteering themselves as potential applicants.

Interestingly, this isn’t Ruger’s first public comment about his emotional struggles. A few months ago, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to express that he finds it difficult to love like everyone else, suggesting a deeper layer behind his playful plea.

This revelation has reignited conversations about the pressures celebrities face from family expectations, particularly in African societies where marriage is often seen as a societal milestone rather than a personal choice.
