A South African lady has stirred controversy as she asserts that it’s a waste of time for a lady to date a man who is incapable of helping her financially. She made this claim in a post on the micro blogging platform, Twitter page.
Lady. According to her men who are broke and cannot help their ladies out financially in times of need have no use. By implication, any man who cannot help a woman financially is a time waster. In her words: “Dating a man who can’t help you financially is a waste of time!!” Her tweet went viral, and drew criticisms from netizens. She added: “I touched a nerve😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂 broke men are crying in the comments” See some reactions: @krugerville said: “You guys like pressuring men for no reason and it’s very disgusting , where the fck were y’all getting money before he came in” @mandycoom said: “it definitely not, a man can give you more than just money.” Shwabade wrote: “Why don’t you help yourself ? Actually where’s your family in all of this ?” See her post below:
According to Sophia Momodu, the laws in Nigeria have failed to protect the women and children from abuse. She added that a lot of women are going through financial abuse but the laws do not favour them at all. In her words, “Financially bullying a woman into staying with you has got to be the most disgusting thing a man can do. Especially when children are involved.” “There’s got to be a special place in hell for people who intentionally punish innocent children. It’s been almost a year. Enough is enough!! Only in Nigeria! The laws don’t protect women or children & the men just do the absolute most! My goodness the whole system just stinks!’ “The amount of women going through financial abuse & being forced into silence in Nigeria is staggering. Who speaks for these women? Who defends them? Why is it ok for women to keep going through this?” “Why should it be ok for a man to force a woman to handle he’s responsibilities as a father simply because the woman chooses to move forward & refuses to look back? Honestly it’s time to soro soke because weyre lo poju ni country yi.” This cannot be ok. This should not be ok. So many women are forced into silence because these men use other ignorant women to bully & force the women they’re tormenting into silence. The enabling, the scheming, the lies & false narratives… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! “So many women have had to resort to suicide concerning this systematic oppression & the ones who chose to be strong for their children are considered stubborn or problematic. The crazy thing in all of this is that you’ll find fellow ‘women’ dehumanizing these innocent women. Haba” See screenshot below.
