A Nigerian Man (name withheld) has called off wedding plans with his fiancee over a tin of milk.

NEWSTODAYNG gathered that the bride-to-be, who stays in Calabar went for a seminar in Lagos and decided to pay her fiance a surprised visit at home.

She got to his house around 9pm and met him getting ready to retire for the night. They were happy to see each other and she decided to spend the night and leave very early in the morning to her Aunty’s place.

In the morning, she was already up and ready to move as he told her to hang on so he can drop her off on his way to the office, so she had a little breakfast while waiting for him to finish up so they can leave.

The fiancé rushed to the dinning to have a cup of tea and few slices of bread as usual, he realized there was no milk and he checked the flask to confirm if his fiancée had made his tea, the flask was empty as well. So he called her to ask what happened.

she responded by asking Him if he expected her to manage a tin of liquid milk for two of them as she couldn’t manage a tin of liquid peak milk for two cups of tea.

She admitted to have used the whole tin of milk because she doesn’t like sugar in her tea as she prefers her tea very creamy and thick.

While advising him to always stock his house with enough beverages to avoid such an occurrence as she wasn’t ready to start managing milk, she told him to drink mineral with bread if he really had the need for breakfast that morning.

The fiancé who was really disappointed said she only thought of herself by using the whole tin of milk and not considering him despite seeing that it was the last tin in the carton and he lived in an area that had no shops around.

According to him, he was aware he had just a tin of milk left in the house and he had planned to go grocery shopping by weekend due to his busy schedules.

Moreover, she was an unexpected guest and he wasn’t aware of her trip to Lagos so the issue of expecting her and making plans for an extra mouth was out of it.

The episode brought an argument that almost led to exchange of words but they quickly settled because he didn’t want them to leave in anger.

However, two days later, he called her to break the engagement and called off wedding plans and claimed that the milk issue had opened his eyes to the kind of insensitive and selfish woman he was almost getting married to.

He said it meant just one thing to him, that his wife will not be a good manager of his finances and home so he doesn’t need that kind of woman as a wife.
