A lady expressed her desire to break up with her boyfriend because he doesn’t send her more than ₦10,000. Instead of addressing her dependency on him, a comment encouraged her, saying, “Please break up fast fast. He doesn’t deserve you, fine girl.” While it’s important to recognize that everyone deserves a supportive partner, this response fails to tackle the deeper issue of financial independence.
Encouraging her to leave without reflecting on her own responsibilities promotes a mindset of reliance rather than empowerment. Such comments can reinforce negative patterns by suggesting that personal worth is tied to financial support from others. Healthy relationships are built on mutual support, but true empowerment comes from being self-reliant and capable of managing one’s own needs.
