Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has shared her views on financial differences in relationships and marriage.
Speaking on a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa said she believes people should date within their financial class, arguing that relationships with significant income disparities can create challenges, particularly for men.
She noted that many men pursue women who earn or spend beyond their means and later accuse them of being materialistic when the relationships become financially demanding.
She said, “I am a big believer of date within your age and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch. You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have. Yet, some men will still want to cheat on her with a woman they can’t afford.
“Heaven forbid you end up with a guy who hasn’t blown. The day he blows that is when you will know his true personality. And that scares women. Money doesn’t change people, it just reveal who the person is. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly.”
