He wrote that the wedding had drained his resources and left him struggling to meet basic needs.

The man said:

“Since I got married, everything has not been going well for me. I spent all my life savings on it due to the expenses from my in-laws.”

The man then asked his friend for financial assistance, requesting N50,000 to help him and his wife “get some stuff at home.”

Reacting to the request, the friend expressed surprise that he had spent all his savings on one occasion. However, he eventually sent him a sum of N10,000 to support him.
