Ladies Need To Reject Gifts That Do Not Meet Up To Their Expectations - Merald_Ayomi

A recent post sparked heated debate after a man shared that he had sent 5,000 Naira to his girlfriend on her birthday as a thoughtful gesture, only for her to return it, saying she’s “more than that.” While many found her response ungrateful, some comments supported her, including one that said, “Women need to do more of this.”

This statement promotes a toxic mindset, encouraging entitlement over appreciation. Instead of valuing small, thoughtful gestures, comments like this imply that gifts should meet a certain standard, pressuring partners to prove affection through spending. Such attitudes risk distorting genuine appreciation, shifting relationships toward transactional expectations.
