Man Curses Newly Posted Nurse Who Dumped Him After He Paid Her School Fees, Bought Her Motorcycle and Secured Apartment

Man and Girlfriend

A man has publicly cursed a newly posted nurse who ended their relationship after he paid her nursing school fees, bought her a motorcycle, secured a two-room apartment for her, provided sustained financial support throughout her training, and assisted in processing her posting.

In a video sighted by nsemwokrom.com, the man is seen standing under a tree, holding a bottle of Schnapps, as he lays out in detail everything he did for the woman before invoking a curse against her. His voice is steady. He is not shouting. He speaks the way a man speaks when he has decided there is nothing left to lose by saying the thing out loud.

According to the man in the video, the relationship involved a level of financial investment that went well beyond ordinary support. He paid her nursing school fees, covering the cost of her training from start to completion. During that period, he provided regular financial assistance to sustain her. When she completed and was due for her posting, he stepped in to assist with that process as well.

After she was posted, he bought her a motorcycle to ease her movement in what is often a rural or semi-urban posting environment, where transport is one of the most practical daily challenges a newly posted health worker faces.

He also secured a two-room apartment for her to live in.

He did all of this, he says in the video, while in a relationship with her. The relationship ended after she received her posting and had the infrastructure he built for her in place.

The setting of the video is deliberate. In Ghanaian tradition, calling on ancestral forces or invoking a curse is not done casually or indoors. The man stands outside, under a tree, holding a bottle of Schnapps, which in many Ghanaian and broader West African customs is used as a libation drink, poured or held as an offering when speaking to forces beyond the immediate physical world.

He is not performing for the camera in the way that staged grievance videos often read. He is doing something he considers serious, in a setting that reflects how seriously he is taking it, speaking directly and explaining his case before the curse itself.

The specificity with which he lists what he provided, the school fees, the financial support, the posting assistance, the motorcycle, the apartment, is the structure of a man presenting evidence. He is not appealing to public sympathy. He is accounting for what he gave and establishing, in his own framework, that what was done to him in return was not proportionate to it.

A Recurring Story

The video has drawn significant attention online because the situation it describes is not unfamiliar. Stories of men who support women financially through education and training, only to have the relationship end once the woman achieves independence, circulate regularly in Ghanaian and broader West African social media spaces. They generate debate every time they appear, about gratitude, about the nature of support given within relationships, about what one person owes another when the foundation of what they built together was also partly transactional.

None of those debates have a clean answer, and this case is not the place to resolve them. What the video presents is one side of a story: a man who invested heavily in a woman’s future, who watched her reach the goal that investment was pointed at, and who found himself standing under a tree with a bottle of Schnapps when that future arrived without him in it.

The nurse has not publicly responded to the video at the time of publication. The identities and location of both individuals have not been confirmed.
