I have had discussions with several of my female acquaintances and work colleagues over the issue of the "Responsibilities" of a boyfriend in a relationship and to my dismay, almost all had the same beliefs. Most of them believed that their boyfriends wer the ones saddled with the responsibilities of

-paying for their new hair-do

-buying them new fones

-sending them airtime regularly

-giving them monetry allowances

-buying them clothes and shoes....etc

The list is endless.

Most even argued that if he (their bf) wants them to look good, he must be ready to spend.

In my mind i was like "WTF!" isnt that their father's responsibilty?

The only exceptions i came across were some of the ladies who were raised abroad and a few who were born in upper class families.

Those ones have a very different mentality. They believed that it was after getting a gud education and subsequently a gud job wud they be able to take care of themselves and buy watever they need.

The scenario got me thinking...

Is Poverty to blame for the general attitude of our naija babes or are they just Greedy?

#front-page-tingz

poverty and laziness. FTC

It depends on the type of girl you're in relationship with.
A girl working in NNPC (not the filling station oo, company executive) still looking up @ you to make her hair definitely need #JESUS. So I'll call the. ones who do this paupers.
That's your answer OP. Poverty!



This nig__gar ahead of me, what did you use the FTC to buy? Some people cef!

Its Peer pressure and ignorance.

Dependz on d girl sha,not all naija babɛs reason dat way,,,,,

Both (greed and poverty)! I still believe the average Nigerian girl needs to be empowered so as to help erase this retrogressive mentality that many of them posses presently! If this can be achieved, our society would be a better place!

GREED......

Misplaced priority,not knowing wat dey want,lack of contentment,poverty,self value loss n foolishness

I agree with all the men in the house
Babes, una no go defend urselves?

all join.

Lovetinz: Its Peer pressure and ignorance.

It is pure ignorance and most refuse to grow out of it

Sorry wats today's date?

Tis neither of d two....Som naija Babes lack tinkin Faculty.......D Common sense is nt common again....Instead of dem to tink of how to bcom Great in lyf...dey engage Demselves in unreasonable n Useless stuff.......Is it only until a Guy spends on u dt u can look good/Gorgeous ?....

Neither of the two,it is plainly due to wrong orientation and upbringing. I know a girl who is from a wealthy family,and still believes a guy must give her everything. I asked her why,she said that is how it should be,and that's what her mother told her.

At the same time,you'll see girls who are from families where they barely can afford 3 square meals, that still believe a boyfriend isn't their saviour from poverty.

Would we say greed and poverty is responsible for Armed robbery? If so,80% of Nigerians would be thieves.

Which is why I said it is ignorance. If you are miseducated, it is the same as ignorance and if society teaches you something that is wrong, you have a choice of educating yourself.

4million CFA franc?

I'd say greed

Those in poverty don't worry about recharge card or Mongolian hair

A cursed way of reasoning passed down from generation to generation which I don't see its end coming soon.


Put it this way, they've been made to believe It's their partner's duty. Hence, why bother changing since It's been that way? - Girls

Choosing between greed and poverty. I'd choose greed.
