A Nigerian man has shared a disturbing account of how a 26-year-old woman allegedly lost her marriage after following her mother’s advice to deny her husband food and sex over a disagreement about monthly allowances.
Narrating the incident on X (formerly Twitter), the man explained that the woman had been married for three years and lived as a housewife, while her husband provided her with ₦150,000 monthly for upkeep.
According to him, the husband also gave her parents, who had only one child, ₦100,000 each every month.
However, about three months ago, the man reportedly informed his wife that his business was struggling and he could no longer sustain the allowances.
He proposed reducing her monthly allowance to ₦100,000 and that of each parent to ₦40,000, explaining that he was carrying most of the family’s financial responsibilities.
The woman reportedly became angry and sought her mother’s advice. Rather than encouraging her to understand her husband’s financial situation, her mother allegedly advised her to withhold food and sex until he changed his mind.
Despite her father’s advice that they should manage whatever the husband could afford, the woman followed her mother’s suggestion.
The man eventually became frustrated and sent his wife packing three weeks ago.
The woman returned to her parents’ home but reportedly began having disagreements with her mother after two weeks. Her mother eventually told her to return to her husband’s house, accusing her of occupying their limited space and consuming their food.
The daughter reminded her that she had followed her advice, prompting her mother to ask, “So if I ask you to kill your husband, will you kill him?”
The narrator added that the woman’s father remained silent throughout the argument, watching without intervening.
