A man made a controversial post on X stating “I’m an African man, & this is how I see marriage. Husband earns ₦500k. Wife earns ₦1m. The home earns ₦500k.”
The post suggests that regardless of a wife earning more, the household income should be capped at the husband’s level, implying male financial authority over shared resources. It frames marriage as a structure where a woman’s higher earnings do not translate into collective benefit, reinforcing traditional power dynamics and sparking debate about fairness, partnership, and financial control in modern marriages.
