Those kind of stingy people, the best place to travel with them to is Cotonou so that worse case scenario, you charter bike and drop them at Seme border for your peace of mind.
I started applying for jobs/internships last year October because Nysc was ending in November. From that October to February 18th this year when I got internship space, there's was no role I didn't apply for.

@Gbemisoke This is what I was trying to say when I called it an adult relationship.
Like they’re actually locked in fr. The fact that they decided to work through it is admirable, if not for anything
I'm a firm believer in how intimate relationships expose us to hidden parts of ourselves. You'll act in ways you've always thought ok till someone you're with checks you & you'll be like oh?! It's why I like Dayo & I'm rooting for him whether or not they stay together.
Most of the takes regarding Dayo* & Tomisin* are ignoring the fact that her behaviour isn’t peculiar to their relationship but also to her own siblings & friends.
Plus me, whose first instinct is to psychoanalyze (job hazard. not sorry. won't stop)
Plus Tomisin who can't spend ₦150k on her very generous lover without freaking out.
Plus Dayo who gives cos he can't bear to see others go without. Plus you with your strongly held beliefs...
This conversation is a good reminder that if you’ve never talked to your partner about money, this is your sign to do it.
Most couples don’t talk about financial compatibility until they are already in too deep, and planning a future together.
By then, the conversations are much harder.
So, what is financial compatibility? How should you think about it? How do you know if you have it? Let’s break it down 👇🧵
A hill I’m willing to be slightly inconvenienced on - You can eat any swallow with any soup. Yes give me Amala with Egusi. The swallow is just a vehicle for the soup.
If you don suffer before to spend lavishly go hard you, especially if your source of income is not even stable or solid enough. It's a bad mindset and she should work on herself but let's not demonize her please
As somebody who suffered financially because of the bad financial decisions of the adults in my life at the time. I understand that babe, I'm not a stingy person (my family members can attest to that) but I understand why it's hard for her to spend money.
