Renowned gospel singer, Sola Allyson, has expressed insights on women’s financial independence in relationships.
In a recent video, Allyson underlined the need of self-sufficiency, drawing from her personal experience in a former relationship with a wealthy partner.
Allyson described how she routinely turned down her boyfriend’s offers of financial aid, only taking the precise amount she needed when she needed it.
According to her, she returned any excess money, reinforcing her stance on financial independence.
In her words:
“You start dating someone today, next tomorrow your phone has spoiled. During my generation, anyway I don’t know but as for me, if you even want to give me money, I won’t collect it.
“I was once in a relationship where my boyfriend was very rich. When he wants to give me money, I won’t collect it. On the days when I need money, if it’s N500 I need and he gives me N5000, I will remove the N500 and give him his N4500 back.”
