Nigerians have expressed displeasure after seeing a video showing a wife crying bitterly and with a swollen face after she was beaten by her husband.

The video sparked outrage from some Nigerians on Twitter whose comments were gathered by MyNigeria.com

This is self-serving as no thought is given to her happiness!"
