He asserts that financial considerations have become a significant factor in romantic relationships, suggesting that many women are increasingly prioritizing monetary stability over traditional courtship values.
In a recent appearance on the Honest Brunch podcast, Geh Geh, a figure often surrounded by controversy due to his provocative statements, shared his thoughts on marriage. He issued a cautionary message to men, urging them to reconsider the institution of marriage and the potential pitfalls that may accompany it.
He notes that modern women have redefined relationships as a means of financial gain, a stark departure from the women of his father’s generation, who approached marriage with a focus on profound values and lasting commitments.
Geh Geh shared insights into the traditional roles during his father’s time, highlighting that women were the backbone of agricultural work and family sustenance.
They took on the responsibilities of farming and labor, ensuring that their husbands and children were well cared for, while men primarily concentrated on upholding their authority and safeguarding the family unit.
He expressed his concern that women today seem increasingly focused on financial gain, often expecting men to cover expenses even before the marriage vows are exchanged.
Reflecting on the past, In his word; “In my father’s era, na women dey work for the man, the wives will go to the farm, work & provide for the man and the children.The man will just handle the authority and the protection..but now, Nigerian women just date for money, they see relationship as a form of employment.”
