In a recent social media uproar, a Nigerian woman took to her platform to confront Nigerian men, posing the question, “What do you bring to the table?” This bold move is seen as a response to a trend where some Nigerian men have been questioning women about their contributions to a relationship. The relationships in Nigeria are often viewed as transactional, with both genders expecting something in return.
The outspoken Nigerian lady, in a video posted on her social media page, challenged men to go beyond showcasing financial prowess and reflect on what else they bring to a relationship. While money has been a common bragging point, she urged men to consider other aspects such as emotional support, care, and being a reliable leader, speaking on the importance of qualities often underrated but crucial in a partnership.
The reactions from netizens have varied, with many males listing qualities beyond financial capabilities. Support, care, and being a lead figure in a relationship emerged as responses, emphasizing that a successful partnership requires more than just monetary contributions.
In a related development, relationship expert Joro Olumofin issued a stern warning to Nigerian women, urging them to refrain from soliciting money from different men on their WhatsApp status. Olumofin emphasized that such actions reflect poorly on their partners and advised them to choose one person for consistent financial requests, especially if they are in a relationship.
Recalling events from October 2022, Joro Olumofin exposed seven common lies Nigerian women fall for. Among these lies were misleading statements like “let’s see how it goes,” signaling a lack of commitment, and the claim that someone is “just a friend,” which often conceals deeper connections. Olumofin debunked the notion that “I wish I met you before I met my wife” is a sincere sentiment, warning Nigerian women not to fall for such deceptive tactics.
