Toke Makinwa Says Many Nigerian Men Rely Only on Money in Relationships

Toke Makinwa appeared on the MENtality podcast with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and challenged the idea that Nigerian women are inherently materialistic. She argued that this stereotype exists because some men believe financial support is the only value they bring to a relationship. According to her, once a man earns money, he often uses it to impress partners instead of building a deeper connection. Makinwa traced this transactional dynamic back to traditional expectations. She warned that teaching women to demand gifts has fueled the perception of materialism and hindered genuine emotional bonds.
