In other news…. A Nigerian man has moved many online after publicly celebrating his wife for standing by him during one of the most difficult periods of his life.

The man, identified as @Danysleek on X (formerly Twitter), shared how he lost his job nearly five years ago, leaving him financially unstable after settling rent and other obligations.

He explained that during that challenging time, his wife stepped in as the primary provider, taking full responsibility for household expenses, including food and bills. Despite this shift, she reportedly placed him on a monthly allowance and never disrespected or belittled him.

His words …

“My wife, my wife, she has done a lot, but let me say this particular one.😄

I lost my job almost 5 years ago & after paying rent & spending on some other projects, I went flat broke.

My wife placed me on monthly allowance, was buying the food & sorting the bills at home.

She would send money to the joint account, my own account and when she wanted to buy things even with her own personal funds, she still gave me the unwavering respect; telling me before she spends on such.

She never disrespected me for once bacause I wasn’t able to provide financial covering, she never subtly passed a message of contempt, instead she covered me in my presence and absence and was still utterly submissive.

We would go out, she will give me the money or her ATM to pay as if the money came from me.

She gave me her laptop to start a program then and paid for what I needed pay for during the course.

She prayed, fasted and blessed me, she understood that we are partners, a unit and that when her king was down, she as the queen had to keep things running, she understood the assignment of a true queen in words and indeed.

There’s nothing I can’t do for her, except I don’t have it and even when I don’t have it, as soon as I get it, I do it, I will do more and will continue to do more for my Heaven’s Gem as the Lord bless me.💎❤️”
