A 54-year-old American woman who claims to be married to a 36-year-old Nigerian man sparked laughter and disbelief on a US relationship podcast when she lamented about a lack of love from her husband, whom she sends money to every month. The woman, who appeared on a podcast that allows listeners to seek advice on relationship issues, asked the panel, “At what point does fighting for a relationship become settling for less than what you deserve?”

An anchor then asked, “You haven’t been sending any money, have you?” The woman admitted, “I send money every month.” Another anchor exclaimed, “You have been scammed!” as the audience erupted in laughter.
