A Nigerian lady by the name of Rosemary Isong has ignited a spirited debate across social media platforms with her strong stance on relationships. She candidly expressed her discomfort with the idea of dating a man who hasn't requested financial assistance from her.
Isong's viewpoint centers on the belief that transparency and open communication about money matters are crucial aspects of a healthy relationship. She firmly contends that a lack of willingness to discuss finances could be a significant red flag in any partnership.
With conviction, Isong shared her perspective that even for relatively modest amounts like N20,000 or N50,000, her partner seeking financial aid from her signifies a level of trust and mutual understanding.
Furthermore, Isong expressed that if her partner were to seek help from friends rather than her during financial challenges, it would not only be offensive but might also strain their bond.
In terms of her financial philosophy within a relationship, Isong emphasized reciprocity and trust as fundamental principles.
Isong asserted that if she were in a relationship for six months and her partner had never approached her for financial assistance, she would view it as a potential deal-breaker.
Isong's views have evoked diverse reactions from netizens, showcasing the complexity of opinions on this matter.

But for mrn like me, sometimes make her pay for a food or sth we bought together that you think she can afford. Tell her to recharge you and when she does, pay her back… Just be a man. That’s it”
