A Nigerian man calculated the school fees of his children, and everything amounted to N178k.
The man told his wife about the fees and enquired to know if she had any contribution to make as their children prepared to resume studies in the first term.
The woman told her husband that she was contributing GH¢2,600 of her own money to enable them to settle the bill.
According to the story told on Twitter by Pablo Hoggs, the woman owns a shop set up for her by her husband, and she also has a steady income.

Why man asked his wife for help with children's school fees
The man was said to have asked help from his wife because he just house rent which cost him N350k.
Part of the story reads:
"The wife is working, she has a shop where she sells women's wears and stuff (sponsored by the hubby). Bro only asked her for assistance bc he just cleared the house rent. I don't think there's any big deal here. Couples are meant to support each other and make things go smoothly in the family. We know it's the husband's duty to take care of these things, but if things are tight, the wife should be able to assist."

If she's working she might contribute, but if she's a full-time housewife he shouldn't be asking her to contribute. Where will she get the money from? He's a man, and he should handle basic responsibilities, he ought to know kids come with huge responsibility."
