Guys, today I believe women are truly different creatures.

I opened a small business for my babe – just something modest. She's now pulling in about 100k monthly, but ever since the money started flowing, her attitude has changed completely.

Imagine, I sell her products sometimes and give old customers a small discount—like ₦100—and she starts fighting me. Argument upon argument.

Then if I borrow small money from her during emergencies (just like ₦2k or ₦5k), wahala go burst. Even when she knows I have money and I'm definitely paying back, the way she reacts eh, like I’m begging her.

She forgets one thing:
The capital is mine. 90% of the customers are mine and everything she’s using today, I handed it to her on a platter.

Now I’m realizing that, if this business grows bigger, she might not even want me anymore. She could decide to go solo and live her own life.

So now I’m asking you all:

Is the best solution to avoid empowering a woman financially ?

I was doing it with the mindset of being educated and forward-thinking, but now I dey reason am twice.

What do you all think?

You forgot that only men are in love but women are in business...Dont empower women to the point of competing with you weather Academic, business,financial, e.t.c the sole reason is because women dont know how to handle empowerment.

This true in all shades when a man is financially empowered the first thing he thinks is go get a woman or women but a women is empowered she boldly say either in words of action that he doesn't need a man again ...so that means men are there in their lives for empowerment sake and that selfish. Women are naturally selfish .

At this age and time with the contemporary challenges of modern day dating which you hear,see and read daily, you still chose to be a big time simp. Well, simps will always breath dust and will continue to be the lab rat which red-pillers and Alpha male will learn from. Selah

OP, is not bad that you opened a business for her.

But why don't you simply mind your business. What's making you to indulge in the shop!

Sometimes just give yourself a break or Holiday from women, even if you buy heaven and earth!

You guys should grow individually!

➜The poster above. Na wah o.... You just enjoy the mentions that come from being controversial sha - especially controversial submissions that don't require reasoning. You do not think gratitude should be shown to someone who risked his own money to set up the biz?
➜ You didn't read where the op is actually helping her with sales? Where he has 90% of capital amd inflow? I hope no girl takes you serious in forming their reasoning
.
You give someone something only to turn around and wan useless the thing for that person?

2. Helping her with sales by giving people discounts? Do you think businesses can easily give discounts at any time without checking to be sure they can even afford them first? Why him no open the business for himself and run am entirely on his own? Nonsense! undecided

99% of them does it.
My wife does it too and that's why I find it difficult to pour all my money on her business. It is my wish to do it but, with small growth, I find it difficult to advise her.
So, I will try and bring down the business by funding more money. Before you know it, the business will go down and her attention will come back more.
I will try her again and I tell you she has continued to fail.
Them no get sense.
You need to bring down the business, she's not even your wife.

When they tell you women don't love men, You'll think it's a joke.
Even the bible says; "Husband, love your wife. And wife, respect your husband," it did not say or wife to love their husband because the bible already knows women are not capable of loving a man.

When a man makes money, he thinks of sharing it with a woman he loves.

When women make money, they have this "I don't need a man" mentality immediately. And she is showing this gradually to you.

Una don start again. Attention seeking crew.lets pretend the story is true.just because you gave her the money you must monitor and choke mouth? Why can't you stay out of her business? If I were her, immediately I realize the capital you gave,I will pay you off so that you don't control it .

My husband sponsored my wig and cosmetic store business.his niece came to visit .I gave her one ombre wig (blend quality)and some makeup .the stuff will not pass $70. And when she left he immediately transfered the money to me,I told him I dash her besides she helped babysit our son .But he insisted and sent me $100,insisting business is business.

This is how you people ruin women's business.especially food sellers.husband will gather his friends (you know men eat alot like gluttons) bring to canteen and he will tell the friends no need to pay.some men visit their wives canteen everyday.

If the business flop na una go still complain that she is unproductive.

This is if the story is true sha

The mvonster 💀 u feed today will consume you tomorrow if you must support your GF in any let her do 90 while yours will be 10. 9ja babes are agba yahoo , the babe don dey enjoy with a better guy grin
The reason why most women are with you is because they are yet to be in that class to meet a better guy.

When she never born for you, pet her and impregnate her. Her brain go reset 🤷
Please avoid this idiot. A woman is badly behaved when you’re courting, it would get worse when you have a child. Plus leave her business alone, you also wouldn’t want a partner interfering with your business, she’s also not a reliable person or perhaps you’re not credit worthy in the past using the guise of “I invested in this”. Plus you don’t just hand over assets to a woman like that, you test them with 1k before you give them 100k… There’s two sides to the story and I’m not inclined to support you because you posted your own side, Nigerian women are mostly like baskets, when you see a woman that you would give the world but she can hardly give you her own 2k, run o. I had to breakup with my girl for the same reason, she would come to my house, na me go dey cook, I would buy stuffs for her and sometimes I would collect foodstuffs on debt, I bill am 1k, she just dey pretend say her bank get problem, person wey I go enter bokku do shopping of 10k snackings for when I’m coming from work sometimes, I told her to bring food for me from her place, she would come empty handed saying she forgot, these things are nothing, I just dey test am o, but if me and person dey for 3 months wey I just dey spend and I no see 5 naira…omo na better red flag be that one, some guys would ignore these red flags thinking it’s because she’s not too sufficient or because she’s a woman till they spend millions on her and he happens to be broke for a short while, na that time him eye go clear

I opened a business for my wife worth over 10m and collected 30% from it. This is because I don't want to give her complete control of the business. She is a good woman who has proven herself over and over again. She has not done anything to warrant me doubting her but you never can tell
Made her sign an agreement regarding the sharing formula.
Whatever the business makes, I get 30% on it plus I get to make important decision on the business. We both own it even tho she owns the larger percentage and manages it.
What you describe is different from OP's case. Instead of being a partner in the business, he is busy giving discounts anyhow and dipping his hands into the business profits, all because he gave her the money to open a stall. Have we not all learned by now that that is how you destroy a business from the inside? undecided

Don't mind them.check how alot of canteen owners are crying.even the ones that their husbands aren't the ones that sponsored it!some men will visit their wives canteen everyday and eat like gluttons and will gather their friends there and tell them no need to pay .

Bro a youtuber just addressed your exact situation when some women gain some economic status and power. He even included a university study on the topic. The gist is they change. Anytime a girlfriend/woman doesn't recognize/remember who helped improve her life it's time to make a tough or easy decision.
