A Twitter user has started a conversation about the activities of married men who live alone in Lagos after relocating their families abroad.

The user wrote: "There’s a married men pandemic in Lagos.

"Those who have sent their spouses abroad and won’t allow single women breathe in peace.  

“The government needs to step in at this point.”

Another Twitter user replied: "It’s a lie ooo 
The married women in Lagos are cheating oo."

A third user wrote:"'sent their spouses' where ?? or the spouses sent themselves and are sending foreign currency to their cheating partners."

The tweets have led to a conversation about the “japa” syndrome and its effects on families.
