Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has sparked a conversation on social media after he advised men and women to take a break from serious relationships if they are not financially buoyant.
In a tweet, the actor urged individuals who are struggling financially to focus on building themselves first before committing to a serious relationship. He added that the advice was from the “federal association of common sense.”
The tweet has since gained traction on social media with many users sharing their opinions on the matter. Some have commended the actor for his advice, while others have criticized him for suggesting that money should be a deciding factor in a relationship.
In response to the backlash, Okanlawon clarified that he was not saying that individuals should not date if they are not financially stable. He added that everyone should be free to love and date at any time or stage in their lives if they choose to do so.
However, for those looking for serious and committed relationships, he advised that they should approach things differently. He stressed the importance of being financially stable, as it could impact the relationship negatively if one or both parties are struggling financially.
“If you’re not yet financially buoyant perhaps it is wise take a break from “serious” relationship and focus on building yourself… this message from the federal association of common sense is for men & women #openletter #butwhatdoiknow Everyone should feel free to love and date anyone at any time/stage of their lives if they so choose… but perhaps for more serious (intentional, committed) relationships you may want to approach things slightly different?”, He wrote.
The actor’s advice has sparked a debate on social media, with some users agreeing with him and others disagreeing. Some have shared personal experiences, while others have offered advice on how to build financial stability.
Relationship experts have also weighed in on the matter, with some agreeing with Okanlawon’s advice. They stressed the importance of being financially stable before committing to a serious relationship, as it could lead to stress and strain on the relationship.
However, others have criticized the actor for suggesting that money should be a deciding factor in a relationship. They argued that financial stability should not be a prerequisite for love and that a relationship should be based on other factors such as love, trust, and compatibility.
