“My man gives me allowance, no 50-50” – Lady sparks debate over boyfriend’s ‘high-effort’ treatment
A Nigerian lady has sparked conversations online after revealing five things her boyfriend does that she believes “low-effort men” cannot handle.
According to her, her relationship is built on care, provision, and consistency—qualities she says set her partner apart from others.
In her words, she said:
“The number one thing my man does is that I have a monthly allowance. Since we started dating, he put me on a monthly allowance, and even if I have that, I can still ask him for anything I want like wigs, skincare, and the rest. The allowance is just like a dash.”
She went on to explain that her boyfriend also involves her in his decisions, no matter how small or big they may seem.
She added that he goes the extra mile to ensure her comfort, from mobility to basic needs, making life easier for her at all times.
“He tells me before he does anything. Even when he wanted to buy his car, he called me before paying.
Whenever I’m going somewhere far, he either comes to pick me up or sends his driver. He doesn’t do 50-50, and he always makes sure I have fuel in my house before he leaves,” she added.
Her statements quickly triggered reactions online, with many users sharing mixed opinions.
One user wrote, “Low-effort men don faint already. God when 😭” while another added, “Make una no pressure us abeg 😂”
