I went for a meeting, actually it was an event with some top nollywood stars. While there, an argument ensued cos of a question that was asked by an actor I won't mention his name , "should a lady pay for lunch on a first date"?

The normal Nigerian babe in me quietly said within "what is wrong with this guy? How can a star like him ask such a question, how much is lunch that you will allow a lady you asked out pay for"? But the Mary-jane that I know who have a different ideology and perception to life and it's happenings spoke out, "it's not a big deal! If she can, why not"!

Personally I see nothing wrong in a lady paying for lunch or dinner on a first date, it doesn't remove anything from you if you have the money. And in the same light, it doesn't reduce the man who you had lunch with.

The average Nigerian woman have this grabbing tendency, you want to grab and grab and grab! It's good but sometimes, you will be able to grab more when you learn to give also no matter how little. Relationship is not just an opportunity to to upgrade your financial status but also an opportunity to prove your worth to your partner.

Paying for lunch on a first day doesn't automatically make you a man or make the man less of a man / irresponsible but it simply proves you aren't a lecher looking for where to fill your lecherous tendencies. It is also a proof that you are a responsible individual.

Once in a while, take your man out, let him eat and you pay for it. But don't do this if buhari is still your president !

As for me, Buhari is still my president.

P:S - this doesn't mean you should take a woman out on a first date and expect her to pay for lunch. Oga pay, others are paying!

Splitting is allowed.

If you, man or woman, asks the person out on a first date, you should pay. Simple.

Should a guy pay for lunch on the first date aswell. Una go come nairaland dey ask stupid question.

E be like say celebrities don dey open nairaland account, e mean more money to Seun pocket if them full here

OP, first identify yourself because this your statement is highly conflicting and contradicting to the (f) badge you carry beside your moniker.

Yes, there is nothing in the Law or in the Bible which says a woman should not pay for a man.
