Let’s not lie—love used to be soft, poetic, and pure. But now? Many relationships look like business partnerships.
“Who’s paying the rent?”
“Who’s cooking?”
“Can you handle my vibe?”
“Do you have a car?”
“Do you have sense?”
We’re now in a time where romance often comes second to responsibility. For some women, dating feels like carrying a grown man who refuses to grow up. For some men, it feels like dating an expense list with wigs and Instagram filters.
But here’s the real question:
Are we still falling in love—or just managing each other because we’re tired, broke, or scared of being alone?
Let’s be real—pressure from society, bills, and survival have turned many relationships into emotional rehab centres or one-sided sponsorships.
Even weddings now seem more like competition than commitment.
So I ask you:
Are Nigerian relationships still about love?
Or are we in survival mode—just managing each other and praying not to suffer more?
