A lady’s post about sending her boyfriend ₦10,000 because he hadn’t eaten all day sparked mixed reactions online. While many praised her kindness and generosity, others questioned whether such private acts of support should be turned into public praise content.
One blunt comment captured that skepticism: “U see why men no dey ask us money cos small thing una don use am do talk.”
Translated loosely, it means, “This is why men don’t ask women for money—small help and you’ve turned it into a public announcement.” The remark suggests that publicizing financial help can feel patronizing or transactional, rather than genuinely caring.
Supporters of the lady argued that there’s nothing wrong with celebrating love and effort. Critics, however, felt the post reinforced why some men avoid accepting help—to escape being turned into online content.
