A Nigerian married lady has cried out online for advice over her husband’s eating habit, claiming that his huge appetite has become a major concern in their five-year marriage.
The woman, who asked for her identity to be hidden, said her husband is a good man but spends most of his income on food because of how much he eats.
According to her, her husband can eat large portions of meals at once, adding that his eating habit has affected their finances.
“My husband eats ten wraps of fufu once; one derica of rice is his one square meal; golden penny spaghetti he eats once,” she said.
The woman revealed that her husband earns ₦1.8 million monthly but allegedly has no savings because much of the money goes into feeding.
The woman further revealed that she has sometimes tried to stop cooking as a way of addressing the situation, but her husband usually takes over the kitchen.
In her words:

“Good morning, please post and hide my identity, please… I have been married for five years. My husband is a good man, but the problem is he eats a lot. My husband eats ten wraps of fufu once; one derica of rice is his one square meal; golden penny spaghetti he eats once… Honestly this has brought a lot of issues into my home, especially when we go for an occasion; he keeps complaining that he’s not satisfied. My husband earns N1.8 million every month, with no savings at all, just food. Slices of yam for 4500 he eats once… Mummies, how will I handle his matter? It’s draining me. Sometimes I will insist on not cooking, but he cooks very well; he will enter the kitchen by himself.”
