A Nigerian wife has taken to the internet seeking guidance about her spouse’s excessive eating habits, which she says have become a serious issue in their five-year marriage.
She requested anonymity, describing her husband as a decent person who nevertheless directs the majority of his earnings toward feeding his large appetite.
She noted that he consumes sizable servings in a single sitting, and this habit is straining their household budget.
She explained, “He can finish ten servings of fufu at once, a single derica of rice constitutes one meal for him, and he eats an entire pack of Golden Penny spaghetti in one go.”
Woman Concerned About Lack of Savings
She disclosed that despite earning ₦1.8 million each month, her husband has virtually no savings, as most of his income is consumed by food expenses.
“My Husband Cooks When I Refuse” – Woman Alleges
She added that she has attempted to curb the issue by refusing to prepare meals, yet her husband often steps in to cook himself.
She lamented, “Good morning, please hide my identity. After five years of marriage, my husband is a good man, but his excessive eating is causing problems. He consumes ten wraps of fufu in one sitting, a single derica of rice counts as a meal for him, and he finishes an entire pack of Golden Penny spaghetti at once. Honestly, this creates many issues at home, particularly during events when he complains of not being satisfied. Although he earns ₦1.8 million monthly, he saves nothing, spending it all on food—even forty‑five slices of yam disappear in one go. I’m exhausted trying to manage this situation. Even when I refuse to cook, he prepares meals himself because he cooks well.”
Below is a screenshot illustrating the situation.
