A Lagos-based man, who once earned a comfortable N700,000 monthly salary, was left heartbroken after his girlfriend dumped him following his unexpected job loss.
The incident, now viral on social media, has sparked widespread reactions from Nigerians.
According to a TikTok post by Soyoye Farouk, the man enjoyed a stable lifestyle, living in a well-furnished apartment and driving a nice car.
His salary provided financial comfort, allowing him to date a woman accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle.
However, everything changed when he received a call from his employer, abruptly informing him that his services were no longer needed.
The sudden loss of income left him struggling to cover his expenses. Within three months, he could no longer afford rent and had to drastically scale down his once-lavish lifestyle.
Amid his financial struggles, his girlfriend, accustomed to the comfort and luxury his income provided, chose to step away from the relationship.
“A friend of mine was earning N700k per month at a 9 to 5 job in Lagos. So he had a very decent apartment, drove a nice car, had a girlfriend who love soft life. He wasn’t really rich, but he was very very comfortable. Then one day, his boss called him and said to him, he told him ‘you have really been an asset to this company, but we are making some changes so we have to let you go. Just like that, his entire life flipped upside down. Within three months, he could barely afford rent, his girlfriend needed space. He went from hanging out at expensive spots to avoiding calls from friends. It hit him that his comfort had been an illusion,” the man narrated in part.
