Is This A Sign I Should Run? by Martinelli35: 6:31pm On Apr 01, 2021
I will make this as brief as possible. I left Nigeria to the UK around may last year and I have fully settled in the country and was looking for someone to settle down with, I didn’t want a foreign girl, so I looked for Nigerians only, the ones I kept meeting here were either engaged with someone back in Nigeria, had serious relationships with someone else or married. So I decided to look back home. A friend of mine introduced me to a beautiful lady who lived and worked in Abuja, she appeared to be doing well for self and was courteous as well. So we started speaking and everything clicked, she wasn’t boring at all and could keep a convo going for hours. We started dating and things were going fine until I noticed something which appears to be a red flag, but I keep doubting if am been too hasty in reaching a conclusion. Just a week after we started dating, she started complaining that she was really broke, that she was kind struggling. In my mind I felt it was too soon for this to come up but I nevertheless sent her 60k to help out. Less than two weeks later, she sent me a letter from her work place that stated that her salary would be delayed for that month . She started complaining of how she was in dire straits and wouldn’t be able to survive till then. I sha played along and told her that where I worked they even delayed my own by a whole month. I can take care of a lady I like no problems, but this incessant asking, is it not too soon in this relationship? This is someone am already thinking of settling down with. If with a six figure salary she can’t manage herself, is this not a bad sign?

Which six figure salary? Trust no one until you are really sure. Moreover she is already seeing you and using you as her mugu. My Naija sisters should stop seeing men as their atm machine. Be a sure girl, get a job or learn a skill, do everything you can to be productive. If he takes you out this week and foots the bill, the following week, take him out and foot the bill as well. Try and return every favour he shows you and don't be a pain the neck. Depending solely on a man for everything dey send man to early grave. Shikena

The first ask was hasty depending on how long you guys were in this period of hour long conversations. If you were going on like that for a month or two then a week into something official is not that hasty but if you’d only known her a couple weeks then it’s a fast ask.

You’ve only given two instances without saying how long you’ve been dating... for example: if you’re together for 6 months and she’s come to you about money twice then that is no big deal.


If she’s also considering you for marriage she’s probably expecting you to be a provider and so when dating she will test your ability to provide and your level of generosity.

keep in mind that a woman wanting her man to pay for stuff doesn’t mean she doesn’t have money. If she’s saying she’s broke, though, that could possibly be a red flag suggesting that she doesn’t manage money well or she’s just pretending to be broke to get you to cover the expenses

Money, money, money. It's sad what our girls have become.

That's how I left a girl I really liked and wanted to marry because of her constant demand for money. Unfortunately for her I met another girl who was never demanding and I wifed her. A year later she tried coming back but it was too late.

Many ladies will lose their future husband's because of this stinking attitude.

I think this is a problem of mostly girls in the West, East and Southern parts though. In the North and Middle belt, the girls there are very reasonable. You give a girl 5k and she is so appreciative. She finds it difficult to even demand in the first instance.

I doubt if she is independent and earning that much. Moreso, I think she sees you as a meal ticket. There is a general belief that Abuja women are hustlers. I wouldn't want to be stereotypical or generalize, but I think she is guilty of this claim. Look, you seem well grounded traditionally, reason why (I think) you want to settle for a Nigerian, but don't cheat yourself out of the opportunity of meeting a great lady on grounds of looking for a Nigerian.


I think you should let her go! Be more flexible and liberal in your choices. Even these foreigners can make great companions/mothers. Good luck!

@Martinelli35

It's a huge red flag, cut off on any bill for the next three months and see wonders. It may be too early to end things, but come out straight with her on the billing thing, tell her you don't really like it and it's not that its too early, you find a bit of challenge in her management skill with her own money and you are having a bad signal about it.


Give it to her straight my brother, if she really loves you she would adjust if not she go jakpa. This works a 100%.


Equally what I've learnt over time is not to force anything, just be doing your thing and mingle for about a month, a colleague is there though in the netherlands, but occasionally comes to London, na him day run from single chicks, infact confuse on who to pick, Nigerians precisely, I wonder your location. More importantly pray about it, this a major decision let God guide you aright.

recommendations are fine, but I prefer to select for myself, by myself with the help of God Sha. I no day like nonsense
