In 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7 Episode 14, Niles revealed his termination from work before his Ghana trip, leading to major financial complications. His bank balance stood at $109 with a bride price requirement of 4,700 Ghanaian cedis ($400).

"Can't believe Niles lost his job just before he left for Ghana!!" a fan expressed on X.

The December 2024 episode showed Niles receiving a termination letter stating he "wasn't working out" at his position. Niles kept this information from Matilda until arriving in Ghana, where family friend Mr. Arc mediated the cultural negotiations. The situation forced the couple to combine their knocking ceremony and wedding into a single event due to financial constraints.

The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7 Episode 14 brought multiple revelations about Niles' financial situation. His job termination came unexpectedly, yet he chose to proceed with his planned trip to Ghana without informing Matilda. As fans learned about this development, reactions poured in on X.

"Niles been racking up the lies this whole trip but the fact that he lost his job right before the trip was all the reason he needed not to go in the first place." one viewer pointed out.

A 90 Day Fiancé fan commented on X:

"Niles should've told Mr. Arc what he could afford before negotiating."

Another comment reads -

"Welp, now we know that Niles has lied yet again. Fired frm his job, didn't tell Matilda; doesn't have enough saved to pay the bride price & the scaled down wedding expenses due to the spending he has done since his arrival," observed another viewer on X.

Another show fan noted on X:

"Nile's should've told Tildy he lost his job BEFORE he went there, so she knows he has no money for wedding and Visa application."

These financial challenges affected not just the immediate wedding plans but also raised questions about future visa applications and living arrangements. The situation sparked extensive discussion among viewers on social media. Reactions on X highlighted concerns about transparency in the relationship.

"Omg Niles!!! He is spending EVERY last dime he has & Matilda is freaking out!! She just lost her gravy train & it's sinking in & she is panicking!!! His job said he wasn't working out.. he was too busy with Matilda to do actual work!!" shared one viewer of the show.

A 90 Day Fiancé viewer commented on X:

"It's always something with Niles he agrees to do something and then right after he's like he needs to tell Matilda the truth about said agreement."

Some fans focused on the implications of his job loss timing, with one fan noting:

"I keep giving Niles passes, but I'm running out! He lost his job and didn't say anything? AND committed to get married and pay a bride price?!"

Another 90 Day Fiancé viewer expressed on X:

"Niles lost his job was given a letter that he wasn't working out. Does that translate that he was lying to much to the company? Niles can't stop being a liar & yet again Matilda is being tested how badly she wants her green card."

The episode concluded with uncertainty surrounding the combined ceremony arrangements. The negotiations with Mr. Arc remained ongoing while Matilda processed the news of Niles' financial situation.


The couple's story continues to unfold on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, airing Sundays at 8/7c on TLC.
