Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7, recently expressed her belief that women should not have a sense of entitlement to the money of a man they are not married to. During a live session on the Honest Bunch podcast on July 5, 2023, she shared her perspective on financial expectations in relationships.
Phyna emphasized that even in a romantic relationship, women should not expect to be financially supported by their partners. While she acknowledged that it is acceptable for a man to willingly spend lavishly on his girlfriend if he has the means, she maintained that women should not feel entitled to such gestures.
She stated, “As a girlfriend, I don’t think you should expect a life of luxury from someone who hasn’t married you. If you desire a life of luxury, seek it from your father or brother. However, if God blesses you with a man who is capable and willing to provide, then enjoy it. But don’t impose it.”
Phyna encouraged women to follow her example, emphasizing that she has been working hard since secondary school because her father was poor and her brother was young. She suggested that if women desire a life of luxury, they have three options: earning their own money, relying on their father, or turning to their brother for support.
