Man Discusses His Girlfriend’s Income
He explained that his girlfriend had previously told him her monthly earnings were around ₦85,000 and mentioned her financial challenges. After giving her the ₦150,000 gift, she later unintentionally sent him a screenshot showing her actual salary alert of ₦420,000. When he asked about the discrepancy, she replied that she didn’t want him to think she was wealthy.

Commenters weighed in. One user, Big Shades, remarked that the man seemed naïve for believing her. Oluwaseun Kolawole said he was acting foolishly. Samuel noted that the man had learned a lesson. Able Gracious commented that while she may have been protecting his pride, lying wasn’t appropriate.
Ibroma added a broader perspective, claiming that women rarely have money, are not big spenders, and that in marriage a woman’s money remains hers while the husband’s supports the household.
He concluded with “See below…” and shared the salary alert screenshot.
