• A Nigerian woman told her husband that she could only contribute N5k to the first-term school fees of their children
• The man had asked his wife if she had any money to support him to pay the fees, which amounted to N178k
• The man had earlier paid their house rent amounting to N350k, so he said he needed help to offset his children's fees

A Nigerian man calculated the school fees of his children, and everything amounted to N178k.

Why man asked his wife for help with children's school fees

The man was said to have asked help from his wife because he just paid their house rent, which cost him N350k.

Part of the story reads:

"The wife is working, she has a shop where she sells women's wears and stuff (sponsored by the hubby). Bro only asked her for assistance bc he just cleared the house rent. I don't think there's any big deal here. Couples are meant to support each other and make things go smoothly in the family. We know it's the husband's duty to take care of these things, but if things are tight, the wife should be able to assist."

Reactions as woman gives her husband N5k for children's school fees

@odion4niaja said:

If she's working she might contribute, but if she's a full-time housewife he shouldn't be asking her to contribute. Where will she get the money from? He's a man, and he should handle basic responsibilities, he ought to know kids come with huge responsibility."

"After now, those same kids that the father is running around for will be singing and hailing their mother."
