A married man has cried out for help after his wife accused him of being stingy and not taking good care of the family.

The man, who earns N75,000 monthly, said he gives his wife N30,000 to maintain the family. He also pays the school fees of his three children, which amounts to about N90,000 per term.

However, his wife is unhappy with his financial commitment and has reported him to her parents.

She told them that he was stingy and that he did not love them.
