“His wife took all his money and ran away to Europe” – Man shares betrayal that cost childhood friend ₦150m

A man has shared the heartbreaking story of his childhood friend, who lost a ₦150 million inheritance years after carefully preserving the fortune left to him by his late father.

Betrayal by wife and uncle

According to the narrator, his friend was just 22 years old when he inherited the money. After depositing the funds in a bank, he was advised by a staff member to manage the wealth wisely and avoid unnecessary spending.

The man explained that despite pressure from relatives and friends who believed they deserved a share of the inheritance, his friend remained disciplined.

He bought a fairly used car, obtained a driver’s licence, and worked first as a delivery truck driver before later becoming a bus driver while allowing his savings to grow.

Recounting the incident, the man said, “My childhood friend inherited ₦150m when his father died. He was 22 years old at the time. When he put the money in the bank, the bank lady told him to be wise and not waste it.”

Continuing his account, he added, “His uncle advised him to marry a woman he said was better than the lady he was dating. He listened to his uncle and got married to the lady his uncle recommended. A few months after the wedding, his wife took all his money and ran away to Europe. After serious investigation, his uncle was arrested for helping her run away with the money. No one knows what happened to the woman after she left. This was a plan between his wife and his uncle.”

Story sparks reactions online

The account has since attracted widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing sympathy for the victim while urging people to exercise caution when making major financial and marital decisions.

Others also debated the importance of seeking independent advice rather than relying entirely on family members when handling life-changing matters.
