In other news… A Nigerian man has raised eyebrows online by publicly celebrating his wife’s support of him during the most difficult time of his life.
The man, identified as @Danysleek on X (formerly Twitter), shared how he lost his job nearly five years ago and was left in a precarious financial position after paying off rent and other debts.
He explained that during that challenging time, his wife became the primary breadwinner, taking full responsibility for household expenses, including food and bills. Despite this shift, she reportedly paid him a monthly stipend and never disrespected or belittled him.
His words…
“My wife, my wife, she does a lot of things, but let me say this one is special. 😄
About five years ago I lost my job and after paying rent and a few other expenses, I was completely broke.
My wife gives me a monthly allowance and is responsible for buying food and sorting out bills at home.
She would send money to a joint account, my own account, and she still treated me with unwavering respect when she wanted to buy something with her own personal funds; telling me before she spent the money.
She never disrespected me for my inability to provide financial security, she never subtly sent a message of disdain, instead she covered for me whether I was present or not and remained completely submissive.
When we went out, she would give me money or pay from her ATM as if the money came from me.
She gave me her laptop to start a program and paid the fees I needed to pay for the duration of the course.
She prayed, fasted, and blessed me, she understood that we were partners, that we were one, that she as queen had to keep everything running when her king fell, and that she understood the task of a true queen, both in word and in fact.
There is nothing I can’t do for her, except that I don’t have it, and even if I don’t have it, once I get it, I will do it, I will do more and will continue to do more for my heavenly gem as the Lord bless me. 💎❤️”
