@Ejizzg: “Not entirely true, but know this,The moment a woman has money, she feels she does not need a man, The moment a man has money, he feels he needs to get a woman. That’s the difference between both genders.”
@cokebwoy: “We men are confusing these ladies, should they pay their bills themselves or wait for we men to sort it out for them. Please let’s all come to a conclusion over this debate cuz I’m tired.”
@ogaade: “Nigerian men are actually confused, one minute you’re listening to Gehgeh because you don’t wanna spend and another minute you’re crying your girl doesn’t listen to you because she can take care of herself…. What do you all want?”
@Gboyerave: “Paying bills doesn’t cancel mutual respect. Independence is not a license for pride, and providing isn’t a ticket for control. Relationship na partnership not boss and employee vibes. Balance is key. 💯”
@Kechuxoxo: “The average Nigerian man does not have a personality outside money, take away money and they’re just men with low self esteem and no use. How can your entire personality revolve around money?”
@contentchic: “That’s why when you people meet independent women that don’t need your money, you become frustrated because you don’t have any other thing to offer.”
@Bigwater: “This is for men who are only looking for slaves. The fact that a woman pays her bill doesn’t always mean she’ll belittle a man. It depends on individual woman and how a man leads her. There’s a clear difference between leading a woman and controlling a woman. If a woman respects you as a man, she will follow your lead even if she’s an independent woman. If a woman doesn’t respect you, she won’t follow your lead whether she’s an independent woman or not. It all boils down to her mentality and character vs your masculinity and leadership as a man. Men who want to control women are the ones who are afraid of independent women. They opt for broke women so they can assume control and lord over them. These women in return pretend to respect them because of the benefits attached but once these men go broke or the women have made enough money to stand on their own, they abandon ship. Money doesn’t buy respect, it only delays disrespect.”
