Even an exotic breed of bingo is becoming more expensive than girls these days. What a world.

There is this friend of mine, she's still a student, she has a steady boyfriend whom she loves but is broke, but there has been this persistent toaster on her case who is financially buoyant. My friend has not had a laptop and phone for quite a while cos hers was stolen a while ago, and these things are necessary to read with in her school. Her parents said they weren't getting any gadgets for her again cos the last laptop they bought was also stolen when raiders came to the reading rooms in her school. Her parents are also against her doing business in school as they think it would disrupt her studies?p.
She told this her steady boyfriend that she needs a phone and not an expensive one, i think she asked for a techno about five months ago, but her boyfriend kept telling her he would get with no show, he didn't give her a gift on valentine even though she got him one cos he forgot and didn't have money.
A month ago, her boyfriend moved to a new apartment. She feels he should be settled first before she reminds him about the phone.

Yesterday, she called me and told me that the persistent toaster just got her a phone. She doesn't know what type but he said he noticed she didnt have a phone and she wasnt on whatsapp. He said it was a gift for her with no strings attached.
Our question is this, should she collect the phone, even though she doesnt really like the guy? If she does and her boyfriend sees it should she say she got it from another guy? Wont it lead to issues in their relationship?
Would really appreciate your wise and helpful comments? No insults please?
love is blind-yes, but I don't think it wise for an enterprising young dude to enter into a relationship when he can't handle the financial aspect (make no mistake, no matter how good that babe is,money must be spent). the igbos have a saying that, "a man who wants to have sex, should first of all buy a mat".
Be that as it may, I think our sis is trying to have her cake and eat it. Most guys see a babe accepting gifts from them as an acceptance to their suit , which at the minimum would result to a lay.

If the 'broke guy' truly loves your friend , she has to cut him some slack. Understanding, love and respect is all that her boyfriend needs now. If she accepts the gift, she is reminding her boyfriend how broke he is and it'll make him feel insecure. As for the buoyant suitor, she should tell him that she didn't come to school to do whatsapp. The reason he gave for buying her the phone doesn't make it a necessity. The problem with most humans is myopia.

A phone is just too meager to put her relationship in jeopardy over ,but if it was a ring, I would have given another advice.personally I dont believe any guy will give a Lady any thing with no strings attached, and atleast not in this country, so she should have her mind prepared , I will also suggest she observes that her bf well,cos most broke guys only see their current gfs as making do with what is available, when they blow that is when they will know they prefer light skinned ,so she end up loosing out

Word! I'm guilty of this Tho I never promised anyone marriage or nothing serious always careful of that.... Now I only want independent ladies

i'm a guy and if a guy gifts you (a girl) anything while toasting you, know that it's just the foundation of his building with you. soon he'll take you out and before you know it, he's penetrated you.

if she loves her bf like you say, let her flee.

The incoming guy has his plans working out successfully if 'your friend' accept that gift. If she is truly in love with the 'broke guy' she should act with caution. I understand that it may not be easy to turn down such gift esp when it is a necessity, but that is one of the true test of friendship. Tomorrow remain pregnant even to Prophet T.B. Joshua. Thanks!

It is not a necessity jare. She can get nokia for 5k, but she is looking for undred or eyefone

but the truth is , we are not even sure if her bf is even worth the sacrifice in the first place. Most guys are only humble because they are broke ,so they make do with what is available, let him hammer now,that is when he will know she is not his spec and that he prefers light skinned ladies. What ever decision she makes ,its a two way thing

OK, since no one is sure if he is worth it

she needs a phone & other things. Another guy is willing to give her everything she wants.

she should dump the guy and follow the rich guy since its money and phone she wants. Simple and short.

Listen op, don't be deceive by all dis fake saints. If u check well, most of the guys are d ones having two gf nd still keeps side chicks, they are here forming saints. Same to d girls also.

To the topic, ask ur friend, dos she see a future in dat relationship?, is the bf she loves also loyal?(cos broke guys actually cheat more). If not, let's her move on Biko. No gain in being with a broke guy who u dnt see a future with.

For d gift, collect it, den sell it. Let her Simply tell her guy dat her parent jst sent money for the fone, nd she will lik d guy to accompany her to get. Go with him nd get anoda fone.

She doesn't have to give in to the toaster demand cos he's getting her gift, when d toaster tire, em go move on.

I have always advise girls never to be 100% in love. Always reserve some % for common sense.

Brokenness is a state of mind, a man is as broke or poor as his ideas, if the bf is a man with potential and great ideas only looking for a chance to blow, then it's better she stays with him and help him grow, but if his ideas is as poor as his pocket then I pity your friend, he promised for 5 months that's too long, why promiss in the first place when you know you can't fulfil your promise, your friend should better talk to her parents and ignore both guys, the broke and the rich.

Men don't do disinterested kindness or any act of generosity without a huge rope attached.

If your friend or you collects the indomie, you must pay in kind.

If you or your friend isn't ready to submit punny when nature calls, reject the phone.

My dear if u would take my advice, leave ur so called boyfriend he's just feasting on ur ignorance, how could he move to new apartment yet couldn't provide ur need. He's just a selfish lover if what u just said here is true, furthermore he doesn't deserve u. Run before he broke ur heart. Real lovers don't give excuses. As for ur rich lover, do ur research about him found out who he is, his background and let him tell u why he want u. If u found him wealthy take the gift.

People should stop this foolish mindset that karma will catch up with u when u are dating a poor guy and latter leave him for rich guy.
Rich guys can also be romantic. Pls if that ur rich admirer is romantic submit ur self to him now before it is too late.

Who poor guy EEP

As for the boyfriend, he promised her a phone, shouldnt he fulfil it?
I get it concerning the laptop...guess she is just unlucky when t comes to that. The bf promised her a phone... did he say when? Since he is poor....wouldn't it be when he can afford it? As a friend sooo concerned about her why didn't you buy her one instead of allowing the toaster to?

My sister in law married a man she disliked. This man was fat and this girl is a very thin lepacious girl. At first sight you will think they are father and daughter. She didnt like him because it is a worst case scenerio of me and her sis. This guy is fatter than me and she more lepa than my wife. He is easily more than twice her weight.

All his advances were seen as an embarassment to her until he connived with her roomates and best friends to throw her the best birthday surprise she has ever had in her life. On top of that, he furnished her off-campus room with electronics and generator with a handsome amount as pocket money. The cuddly pictures she took was her approval and they got married soon after.

When a girl or woman starts recieving gifts from other men out of her relationship, there is no going back.

Once she don collect the gadget, she should be ready to drop pant or get married to the dude undecided

Over and out



There is nothing wrong in getting !married to the rich guy or even dating or collecting his gifts , as long as u like him.

One thing about struggling or poor guys , the present and future is uncertain .
Last last , because they are poor, their families have the final say if should marry or not .

I repeat a poor guy has no say in his life or love life , especially when the gf might be ready to settle down .


Babe, op don't place all your eggs in his basket . At the end , their families have the final say.
Am telling u thru experience before u reach above 30 like me ,due to having pity for poor guys.

A word is enough for the wise .

Dont think about the present,think about your future with your boyfriend. If you notice a nice Future together dont collect the gift, but if you're not sure of a bright future together, my dear its better you collect the phone so you dont loose in two places.





But think it this way, devil will never give you a gift and tell you he wil collect something in return.

and to think that u claim to love ur BF makes me SMH for u.
