A Nigerian woman's engagement has been reportedly called off after her fiancé expressed discomfort over her new job and significantly higher salary.
According to a close friend @Starbede on X, the woman, who got engaged in May with plans for a traditional wedding in November, secured a new position last month with a salary three times more than her fiancé's.
However, instead of celebrating her achievement, her fiancé insisted she reject the job, fearing that her increased earnings would lead to a lack of respect in the relationship.
How a man called off marriage over his fiancee's high-paying job
"My friend got engaged in May this year and their traditional wedding was meant to be in November. She called me yesterday in tears to tell me the engagement had been called off.
She got a new job last month and the salary is so huge that she will earn three times more than the guy.
He was uncomfortable with it and asked her to reject it or the engagement would be called off.
He said she won't respect him if she earns that much.
All efforts to convince him proved ineffective and she agreed to call the engagement off. I can't believe this is happening in 2024!"
