A Nigerian man has jokingly revealed how his wife’s pet name supposedly changed when the amount of money he gave her each month decreased.
The man remembered in a Facebook post that when he provided his wife ₦100,000 a month, she used to call him “Onye Nwem,” but as his financial assistance decreased, the name gradually changed.
The man clarified that soon after they were married, he paid his wife ₦100,000 per month, which led her to lovingly refer to him as “Onye Nwem,” which translates to “the owner of her life.”
“When my wife and I married newly, I was giving her 100k every month and she was calling me ‘Onye Nwem’ meaning ‘the owner of her life’. She was calling me the name meant for God and wanted to cause serious problem between me and God o,” he wrote.
But as his responsibilities grew and he was unable to continue doing so, things changed.
The man claims that his wife also changed the name she used for him when the monthly amount fell from ₦100,000 to ₦70,000.
“As time goes on and responsibility was increasing, I reduced the money to 70k and the name she was calling me changed to ‘my world’,” he stated.
The pet name changed once more after the sum was later lowered to ₦50,000.
“The money later reduced to 50k and she reduced the name she was calling me to ‘my heart’,” he added.
Things changed further when he could only afford ₦30,000 monthly, with his wife then referring to him as “Papa Kaira.”
“As I couldn’t do 50k any longer, I started doing 30k and my name came down to ‘Papa Kaira’,” he wrote.
The man revealed that the amount eventually dropped to ₦10,000, after which his wife stopped giving him any pet name.
“From 30k it further reduced to 10k and she no longer calls me any name. If she wants to call me now, she will tell Kaira my daughter to call her papa,” he stated.
He then joked about what he expected to happen if he reduced the money even further.
The man said he was planning to reduce the monthly amount to ₦5,000 and humorously predicted that his wife would come up with another name for him.
“Now that I’m planning to reduce it to 5k, I’m sure she will start calling me Ekperima,” he wrote.
