A story circulated online about a man who brought his girlfriend from Nigeria to the UK. After she graduated and began earning £2,500 while he earned £2,700, the couple agreed to split their £2,300 monthly bills—she would pay £1,000 and he would cover £1,300. However, after three months, her attitude reportedly changed, and she began filing for divorce. The narrative sparked heated reactions, with many projecting personal biases onto the situation.
Among the comments was one that read: “But why you go dey split bills with women? Our fathers never split bills. God forbid men of this days.”
This remark reflects a mindset rooted in outdated gender roles rather than fairness or partnership. Modern relationships require shared responsibility, not glorified hardship. Using “our fathers” as a benchmark ignores how economic realities have changed and unfairly pressures men to shoulder burdens alone, ultimately undermining healthy, balanced unions.
