In a recent interview with Broadway TV, the 59 year old actress said it’s a man’s responsibility to ensure his partner looks good and feels valued. “A woman should be your pride. She doesn’t even need to ask you,” she said, adding that men who can’t afford to care for a woman should either date within their means or wait until they’re financially ready.
She questioned why men use the term “gold digger” in the first place. “What do you expect her to dig? Shit? I won’t advise any woman to dig anything less than gold,” she stated. She stressed that she wouldn’t encourage any woman to settle for less in a relationship and believes financial responsibility is part of being a good partner.
This her interview got men on social media going crazy. The ones who make hate posts on women are having a field day

ReplyDeleteGold digger,what do you expect her to dig sef mtceew🙂
Let me mind my business..
ReplyDeleteThank you o Aunty Bukky. A man cannot afford a certain woman's style, and then she is labeled a gold digger. Go for your type.
ReplyDeleteThe issue is that men who say that are often very delusional, covetous, and don't even have any gold for women to dig.
ReplyDeleteI remember many years ago, I went to a wedding and met a guy. I think he was from the bride's side of the family. We lived in different neighborhoods. He pursued me for years, but I kept refusing because I preferred to date people who were in the same financial standing as me.
After some time, I said yes, thinking that after all, we are all equal in the sight of God. But you wouldn't believe it, this guy was the most delusional person I had ever met.
After just two weeks of dating, he started talking about marriage. I was in my third year so I refused. He then said he earned 65k and that it was more than enough for both of us.
I told him that amount wasn't even enough for me alone. What would I use it for, buy perfume or eat one dinner at a restaurant inside my school?
He started saying that his friends and their wives were managing on that income while raising three children. I asked him, "Then why didn't you date and marry the kind of women your friends are married to?" He kept quiet.
I was a student at a very expensive private university, and I knew how much allowance I received. He didn't even have a washing machine. I asked him, "If I agreed to marry you, who would wash the clothes?" He replied, "My wife." I laughed and said, "I don't even wash clothes."
If I didn't look the way I did, you wouldn't have approached or even noticed I existed. And I look the way I did, thanks to the grace of God and money. So in the end, it's the money that you smelt on me that attracted you. So who is the golddigger?
He ignored the women in his neighborhood and his friends' wife's friends, chasing me for three years.
The truth is, almost every man can find a girlfriend. A mechanic, a plumber, a shoemaker, or even a security guard can find a woman. So when I see a man complaining that a woman is "too expensive," I usually conclude that he's the greedy one, aiming far above his own financial range while calling women greedy. They don't know how pathetic they sound when they say that.
