Abroad-based man shares how colleague got dumped by wife after sponsoring her UK law degree

• The Londoner advised against imposing a woman’s height, particularly when she is beneath your authority.

• He mentioned a Nigerian colleague who worked tirelessly at his previous workplace.

A London resident shared the story of his Nigerian colleague, Yusuf, who was abandoned by his wife after he had dedicated countless hours to support her education in law.

The Londoner offered this account as a cautionary tale, advising against the practice of elevating a partner, particularly when there is a significant disparity in status.

He recounted that at his previous workplace, his Nigerian colleague was known for his relentless work ethic, often putting in extra hours without pause.

On one occasion, he inquired about Yusuf’s tireless dedication to his job, questioning why he consistently took on additional shifts.

Yusuf explained that his efforts were aimed at providing for his family and meeting their needs.

However, the Londoner later arrived at work to discover that Yusuf was absent. Upon inquiring about his whereabouts, he learned that Yusuf’s wife had left him after obtaining her law degree.

It was reported that she expressed to him that she no longer considered herself on the same level as him, now that she had achieved her status as a lawyer, while he remained an ordinary man.

The Londoner revealed that this turn of events led Yusuf to struggle with his mental health, ultimately turning to alcohol for solace.
