He explained that he makes these provisions ahead of time because he does not want his family to go hungry whenever his finances are tight.
However, he said he faced a difficult situation when their daughter was admitted to the hospital and he had no money readily available.
The man claimed he was waiting for his brother to send him money to cover the expenses, while his wife had ₦600,000 but could not help him.
He lamented …
“I buy shawarma daily for my wife after work. I buy foodstuff ahead because my income isn’t stable and I never want us hungry. My daughter was in the hospital, I had no cash and was waiting for my brother to send money. My wife had ₦600k but couldn’t help.”
His account has raised questions about financial support, shared responsibilities and expectations between couples, particularly during family emergencies.
