A Nigerian man's post has sparked a debate about financial expectations in relationships.
He recounted his experience during the early stages of getting to know a lady, where she unexpectedly asked about monetary benefits.
Man laments over his crush's demands
Sharing his story on social media platform X, @richybukana expressed frustration over the situation.
He claimed that the lady had previously received a monthly allowance of N120,000 from her ex-partner and expected him to match or exceed this amount.
However, his monthly income fell significantly short of the girl's former allowance, leaving him shattered.
In his words:
"I'm currently in the talking stage with a woman. The first thing she asked me was how much I would be giving her as a monthly allowance. She mentioned that her ex used to give her 120k a month. Now, my monthly income is not even close to that amount.
"I’m wondering how I can impress a woman with high expectations while still being true to my financial situation. If a guy doesn't have money, he might find it challenging to pursue a relationship because many women may not see him as worthy. Abeg show me way na make I elevate my finance."
Commenting on the story, Peace Onwubu, a relationship expert, said a man should not be mandated to pay monthly allowance.
In her words:
"I find it absurd that a man has to pay monthly allowance. Relationship is for companionship and love not a money making scheme."
Reactions as man laments over crush's demand
Nigerians stormed the comments section to give the young man relationship advice.
Tinted said:
"I believe babes knows the kind of men they ask such questions and they are mostly right coz tell me why this uncle couldn’t fling such a fool away, instead, he is still thinking of how he will impress her despite not earning much."
Adeola Victor wrote:
"If you mistakenly give her that money ehnn, na God go punish you for me."
Alex Opiwrite said:
"Her ex was giving her 120k monthly yet she left him. At this point did you bother to ask her why they parted ways?"
Odegaard commented:
"Na this one i dey talk. If i see guys wey dey spend on their babe, i go say make them marry her because e nor get who them wan leave those girls for. I nor wan hear my ex used to do this my ex used to do that."
Von Pula added:
"Gosh. What's a really good salary in Nigeria? That's $70. Can you afford to date with that kind of money per month?"
