A Nigerian man battling a debt of over ₦18 million has sparked intense online debate after revealing that his wife is seeking his permission to sleep with a wealthy chief in exchange for money to feed their son.
The man's story was shared anonymously via a popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), where he detailed his emotional struggle and the heartbreaking proposal from his wife.
He admitted to being torn between desperation and morality, even considering divorce as a way to free her from marital obligations.
He wrote:
"Sir Wiz, I'm just confused. Things have gotten really bad for me. My wife is begging me to permit her to sleep with a chief who's been disturbing her, so we can feed our son."
"But it doesn't sit right with me. I can't imagine giving that kind of consent and still staying in the marriage. But I kind of feel we're past happiness now."
"I'm considering divorce-so I can move on, and she can do whatever she needs to help herself and our son. Things keep getting worse."
"I've been selling my property, but the business is still not making a profit. We feed for a few days, then we're broke again. My current debt is over ₦18 million."
The post quickly went viral, drawing hundreds of reactions. Many sympathized with his situation, while others debated the morality of his wife's request and the depth of the financial crisis plaguing families in the country.
