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.
