“If a man’s salary is N100k, how much is he supposed to give his girlfriend?” This question on X sparked debate, with one user responding, “Why man go dey earn 100k per month?”
This comment reveals an unrealistic expectation that overlooks the reality for many people working hard to make ends meet. Criticizing someone for earning N100k a month ignores the effort it takes to earn a steady income, especially in a challenging economy. Such views can place unnecessary pressure on individuals, making them feel inadequate due to factors beyond their control.
Rather than belittling someone’s income, it’s essential to respect the dignity of honest work. Healthy relationships are based on understanding and shared values—not income level. Supporting each other’s goals fosters stronger, more meaningful connections, regardless of financial standing.
