Struggling Family Man’s Decision to Marry Second Wife Sparks Controversy

A young Nigerian man laments the situation of a poor nail-cutter who decided to marry a second wife after being gifted the sum of N50K.

A Twitter user from the Northern region identified as @Abdullahiabba_ recounted the lifestyle of a man who supports his family by trimming nails and was blessed with a monetary gift of N50K by a customer.

Surprisingly, instead of using the money to care for his existing family, he chose to use it to marry another woman.

Sharing the narrative, Abdullahi commented that this behaviour reflects the typical life of an average Hausa man.

“This guy has a family of 3 including his wife and all he does to feed the family is nail cutting, barely feeding his family to their satisfaction.

A customer of him gave him a gift of 50K and his next move was getting married to another Woman. Life of an average Hausa Man,” he wrote.
