A recent post showcased a man who sent his girlfriend 5,000 Naira on her birthday, to which she responded by returning the money, saying she’s “more than that.” This sparked controversy online, with many criticizing her response, though some sided with her. One comment bluntly questioned, “How would you send your babe 5k for birthday. To do what exactly??

This comment shifts the blame onto the man for his innocent gift, subtly promoting entitlement instead of appreciation. Rather than encouraging gratitude and valuing small gestures, it reinforces a mindset that prioritizes the monetary worth of gifts over the thought behind them. Such perspectives can foster unrealistic expectations in relationships, diverting focus from genuine affection and appreciation.
