A Nigerian man living abroad has sparked online discussion after calling the decision to bring his wife from Nigeria to the United Kingdom the “craziest thing” he’s ever done for love.
He revealed that relocating his wife involved a large financial outlay and significant risks, especially considering the stories of relationships that falter after one partner moves abroad.
He explained:
“The craziest thing I have done for love is bringing my wife from Nigeria to the UK. Do you think it’s easy? Do you know how much I spent? It’s a major investment, spending so much money to get her here. And it’s risky because many, when they move here, end up leaving their husbands.”
The man added that he was reassured by her calm demeanor and character, which influenced his decision to go ahead with the move. He also emphasized that she agreed he would manage the finances, highlighting that control over money was part of their mutual understanding.
His comments have since sparked debate on social media. Critics questioned framing marriage as an “investment” and raised concerns about the idea of financial control within a partnership.
Some defended his point, acknowledging that moving a spouse abroad can be expensive and challenging, while others stressed that a strong marriage should be based on shared respect and cooperation rather than control or ownership.
