Dependent Attitude Of Nigerian Girls In Relationships: Poverty Or Greed? I have had discussions with several of my female acquaintances and work colleagues over the issue of the "Responsibilities" of a boyfriend in a relationship and to my dismay, almost all had the same beliefs. Most of them believed that their boyfriends were the ones saddled with the responsibilities of
-paying for their new hair-do
-buying them new phones
-sending them airtime regularly
-giving them monetary allowances
-buying them clothes and shoes....etc
The list is endless.
Most even argued that if he (their boyfriend) wants them to look good, he must be ready to spend.
In my mind i was like "Mhen!" isn't that their father's responsibility?
The only exceptions i came across were some of the ladies who were raised abroad and a few who were born in upper class families.
Those ones have a very different mentality. They believed that it was after getting a good education and subsequently a good job would they be able to take care of themselves and buy whatever they need.
The scenario got me thinking...
Is Poverty to blame for the general attitude of our naija babes or are they just Greedy?
