She did well. A woman paying the rent from her savings is not a big deal, though. There is no where in the constitution where it is written that it is only the money of the husband that should be used for house rent... Just saying.

Noted

MrBrownJay1:


the day rent was due and he didnt have the money to pay for it, there was NO DOUBTS that he wouldnt be able to provide....so again, the question would be: why wait a whole month before bringing her savings?

what kind of respect is this that you wait for "your whole family" (not just him) to be disgraced before helping him?! btw, it doesnt matter if the money is the result of years of saving. as a married couple, they are "ONE"

nextstep:
I don't know... if our guy hadn't frittered his money on beer (about 500/night) or olosho (1-2k per encounter) or naijabet, he'd have enough money for rent over the course of 1 year. Nobody's fault but his for causing embarrassment to himself ... he knows rent is due, and should save accordingly. Now the wife has used all their family savings (which should be kept for emergencies like hospital treatment, bail, or some other unpredictable expense).

Unless he learns to save, they will be in a worse situation next year.

* Don't mind me jare... I'm just insinuating and casting aspersions...

Kudos to the lady sha.

you are right, who knows what he was doing all along through the whole years...but sadly, even if he blew all his money on beer, olosho and 9jabet, it is still the duty of BOTH to provide for the wellbeing of their family, and when hubby fails to do it (and mummy can) then let her take it upon herself to pay the rent... or shut up and divorce the useless man she married. their vows didnt say:"for better or worse, but only when it fits your agenda"

Devil's advocate .

its actually called brain acrobatics, lol!

Lol. Well, I guess there are always many ways to kill a rat.

we sef know, lol !! adam later paid eve for the apple

junkiesneverdie:


Ask you Uncle in America if that is not the way their women assist their husbands... all this Nigerian girls mentality is why many of you are not yet married

I'd rather be single than married to a man who can't pay rent

Some men are horsebands and they only add to your problems in life, if not why will you stay in an apartment without saving for your bills in one year. Shame

Strikethem:
I am moved, this is a good woman, not useless good for nothing females that parade themselves as slay idiots.

Nobody's fault but his for causing embarrassment to himself ... he knows rent is due, and should save accordingly. Now the wife has used all their family savings (which should be kept for emergencies like hospital treatment, bail, fixing the roof, or some other unpredictable expense).

1. If she secretly didn't save money, he would have found something to spend it on... it's a recurring theme in many marriages. Even this wonderful video from Niniola beautifully shows this good sense that wives have demonstrated since time immemorial.
Unless he learns to save, they will be in a worse situation next year.

2. Maybe he didn't even let her know the true situation in the first place... you know men and their pride.

The people older than me in your household

I am happy for this man. Those landlord no dey get joy only few of them are lenient. That was how our former landlord's daughter wanted to disgrace my dad when he lost his job. She did not even entered out parlor, she was shouting from the passage. My mother gave my dad the money that evening, went to her house to give her.
It is good to marry a good spouse. Thank God my mum and my dad now live in their own personal house.

I have not been embarrassed by landlord before but I have had many of such incidents when I needed money urgently and wify is the one providing it. I makes you appreciate your wife the more.

GOD bless every good and supportive wives out there.

They ought to split the bills including the rent.. Unless she has been cooking with her money, else there's nothing to celebrate here... #splitthebills

Just imagine.. The silly man self is happy this happened. His cross

MrBrownJay1:


exactly!!! rent is a man's duty so wifey should let him suffer to pay it, even though she could help/support him in times of needs?! makes absolutely NO bloody sense!

thesicilian:
She's a good wife indeed, please try not to ever get angry enough to lay hands on her or insult her.
BTW, you had a whole year to save for your house rent, why didn't you? Now that she has spent all her life savings on your responsibility, I hope you'll be diligent enough to replace it at least twice over, and also plan for the rainy day henceforth?

Yes o. It pays to plan for the rainy day. Good woman.

good woman

Mr Goodluck

I just read some people judging this man. Do you know what he is passing through? If you are not in someone's shoes you better don't judge them.

MrBrownJay1:
ARRANT NONSENSE!!!!
so hubby had problem to pay the rent, and this useless woman couldnt just bring the money out on rent day....she had to wait till the landlord disgraced them to bring the cash?!?!?!? maybe that man wouldnt have been in such situation if his wife had contributed to the family wellbeing earlier!!!

man is suffering to pay the bills, wifey sees that but instead of helping him she secretely is saving money?!?!?! what kind of deluded world is this?!?! were they not "ONE"?!

chai! over dose and wrong application of tramadol is not good at all

MrBrownJay1:


good omen my foot! this man was stresssing himself to pay the rent, must have lost countless weeks of sleep over it, stre ss himself out like crazy... yet that woman was saving money for months (if not years)?!?!? if it makes sense to you, then it certainly makes NONE to me.

Guy, just gree say you no reason things well before you post that nonsense

Make sure you pay her special attention tonight in the other room.

So happy for you brother. Next time don't complain when she is involved in budget padding.

You need a woman that will boost you from a tenant to a landlord.

Exactly so can you boost me

skarlett:
So for one year you couldn't come up with your house rent and your wife's life savings is what is making you shine teeth on social media? Some men these days have no shame

One bad wife spotted

JustCallMeTimmy:



So data costs as much as the house rent? I'm tired of some people's mentality sha

so when he buys it monthly & Facebooks he didn't remember rent at end of year

Some husbands act all sweet just to see you dont have any savings . Afterwards ,they will start acting out once they are sure ur savings are gone. Hmmmm ,i just hope her husbsnd truly shows his appreciation by refunding her .

That is the real definition of a good woman

MrBrownJay1:


funny how some people are quick to forget their vows, when it fits their agenda.... the man is broke, that wifey certainly must have known about it before rent was due, so why not bring the money THEN?! why wait a month?! are they not "one" any longer (whether her husband is useless or not)?

why do you assumed the prideful man told his wife about his problem eh?. some men pretend they can shoulder everything while they cant, other are sissy that expect his wife to always throw them handouts. if the woman wanted to embarrass him she would have paid it herself when the landlord was shouting & not drag the husband in secret to help him out.

Word of advice, just because ur wife is doing something, NEVR FORCE HER TO SPEND HER EARNINGS COMPLETELY ON YOU. Do your responsibility as a husband, If you truly married a good wife she will contribute her quarter without forcing her


I just pity ur wife, she go suffer

EternalTruths:
How many women can do such.?

I can't. I'll rather use it to buy new clothes or travel for a vacation with my kids.

He's the MAN OF THE house

The monies saved were taken from monies the man has been dropping for the family use. Just thank the woman for taking the initiative. Drop 5k for soup today and she uses 4k for soup; how will I verify that she spent 5k she asked for? You have no point. Being a virtuous woman is her responsibility, not a favour to humanity.

Nothing special. .they are supposed to be a team . .life sucks in Africa. .
