Nkechinyere Cecilia Mbanaso, a Nigerian woman, reportedly cried out on social media after learning that her husband was actually making ₦430,000 per month rather than the ₦200,000 he said.
The married mother of three described in a long Facebook post how she had provided financial support for the family for years because she thought her husband was having financial difficulties.
She claims that in 2023, her husband, who drives a caterpillar for a construction company, started to voice concerns about his low pay.
According to her, he first cut the family’s feeding stipend from ₦100,000 to ₦70,000, saying his income was no longer enough.
He progressively raised the feeding allowance over time, she claimed, adding that his pay had also climbed from ₦130,000 to ₦150,000 and then to ₦200,000.
She disclosed that she learned of the purported facts following her husband’s June accident.
After he informed her that they required ₦650,000 for hospital bills, she said she had trouble raising money for his care. She said that a friend had given ₦400,000, and she found the remaining ₦250,000 with the assistance of her siblings.
However, she said that several of her husband’s coworkers told her that the construction company had already covered his medical expenses when they paid her a visit.
In addition, she claimed that her coworkers disclosed that her husband had been making ₦430,000 per month instead of the ₦200,000 he had claimed.

“I’m a married woman with 3 kids, my husband is working in one construction company as caterpillar driver .
In 2023 my husband started complaining of the low sa1ary they are paying him and how the company reduces him m0ney instead of increasing it, he even claimed to stop the job but I told him no he can’t stay without doing anything he should be managing it.
So instead of the normal 100k he was giving for feeding he reduced it to 70k. So I was adding it up.
I have a provision shop my siblings helped me to open in 2022.
In 2024, my husband increase the amount to 85k saying they have added something in his sal@ry because he told them he will stop work. So according to him the s@lary is now 150k before it was 130k . I was grateful to him even though the m0ney is never enough for 5 of us but I was helping out. Most times I’m the one paying the kids school fees . Till 2025 my husband started increase the feeding money and other expenses to 130k. Jesus I was so grateful and happy then he told me they are now paying him a 200k.
He said I should just be managing the 130k let him keep 70k for his self. I was honestly feeling for him. So later asked him to be taking the 30k on top and give me 100k while I continue helping out . At times he will ask me to call my siblings for help.
This year April my husband increase the amount to 170k saying he knows things has increased in the market . he will be looking like someone that is over sűffëring and his w0rld is about to end.
Most time he will sit in a corner of the house acting like someone who is thinking or cřÿing, if I ask what is the problem he will say is this how he will continue will the little earning. I kept on feeling for him.
Till june last month when my husband had acc1dent I was running up and down for m0ney to pay h0spital bill he was watching me and even told me is better he d1e and rest I was so an.gry of him saying that .
Later he told me that a friend has helped him with 400k he ask if I have 250k because we are looking for 650k . So I helped him after asking my siblings for help. But I was aʼngry that the company didn’t help out. And I never knew they did.
It was that same month while his colleagues came visiting I started complaining to some of them how bãɗ I feel with the company and also how w0rried my husband is . That was when I was told but is the company that paid for the hospital bill and my husband earn 430k as salary. I was sh0cked and feel cheãţed but I decided to hold my @nger while waiting for this month to bring his 150k to take care of 5 people.
This is not faiř at all have been thinking what to do to him in other for him to pay me back everything I have spent so far . Already my love for him is now dropping the moment I found out the truth.
Seeing him now makes me aŋgřy honestly don’t know what to do.
I have not been eating well since last month I totally lost appetite for food.
