Women shouldn’t always rely on boyfriends financially – Sola Allyson

Renowned gospel singer, Sola Allyson, has shared thoughts on women’s financial independence in relationships. 

In a recent video, Allyson emphasised the importance of self-sufficiency, drawing from her personal experience in a past relationship with a wealthy partner.

Allyson recounted how she consistently declined her boyfriend’s offers of financial support, only accepting the exact amount she needed on occasions when she required assistance. 

According to her, she returned any excess money, reinforcing her stance on financial independence.

In her words: “You start dating someone today, next tomorrow your phone has spoiled. During my generation, anyway I don’t know but as for me, if you even want to give me money, I won’t collect it. 

“I was once in a relationship where my boyfriend was very rich. When he wants to give me money, I won’t collect it. On the days when I need money, if it’s N500 I need and he gives me N5000, I will remove the N500 and give him his N4500 back.”

Reactions followed her comment with many sharing their thoughts on it.
