LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Media personality Toke Makinwa has shared her views on money and relationships, arguing that couples are more likely to avoid unnecessary conflict when they date people within their financial bracket.
Speaking on a recent episode of the MENtality Podcast, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa said she believes people should build relationships with partners who share a similar financial lifestyle.
According to her, many men pursue women whose lifestyles exceed what they can comfortably afford, only to later accuse women of being overly focused on money.

“I am a big believer of date within your age and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch. You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have. Yet, some men will still want to cheat on her with a woman they can’t afford,” Makinwa said.
Makinwa also spoke about how financial success can affect relationships, suggesting that some people’s true character only becomes visible after they achieve wealth.
She expressed concern for women who stand by their partners through difficult times but later find themselves treated unfairly once those partners become successful.
“Heaven forbid you end up with a guy who hasn’t blown. The day he blows that is when you will know his true personality. And that scares women. Money doesn’t change people, it just reveal who the person is. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly,” she added.
