A Nigerian lady has advised married men to change how they financially support their parents and siblings, urging them to involve their wives in the process.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that allowing wives to send money to their husbands’ families could help improve the relationship between both sides.
She encouraged married men to stop transferring money directly to their family members and instead send it to their wives, who would then make the payments.
In her words, she said:
“As a married man, stop sending money to your mother. Stop sending money to your father. Stop sending money to your siblings. If you want your family members to start loving and respecting your wife, start involving your wife in your relationship with your family members.”
The lady explained that some families may become suspicious of a woman who marries their son, especially when she comes from a less privileged background.
According to her, such relatives may wrongly believe that the woman wants to control or squander their son’s wealth. She advised men to make their wives more involved in family affairs to change this perception.
“Don’t send the money directly to your mother. Send the money to your wife. Let your wife be the one to transfer the money to your family members. Let her name reflect on the credit alert they will receive,” she added.
The advice has generated mixed opinions online, with some people agreeing that involving wives in family support could strengthen relationships.
Others, however, argued that married men should be able to decide how they support their parents and siblings without necessarily involving their wives in every financial transaction.
