During a captivating episode of the highly popular podcast ‘Rants, Bants, and Confessions,’ Lydia, a prominent Instagram influencer, voiced her strong disapproval of men who attempt to impress women by flaunting wealth they don’t possess. Joined by fellow podcasters Maliya Michael and Caramel Plugg, Lydia passionately criticized the behavior of these men who make lavish promises of spoiling women with money, only to provide paltry amounts such as N10,000 or N5,000.
Maliya actively participated in the conversation, expressing her firm stance on the matter and stating that she would sever ties with any man who dared to send her such an insignificant sum of money. Her resolute statement echoed the shared sentiment among the podcasters that this kind of gesture was entirely unacceptable.

In response to Caramel Plugg’s comment, highlighting that N10,000 could hold significant value for some individuals, Lydia adamantly declared her lack of dependence on such an amount. Instead, she offered a poignant suggestion, urging the men in question to direct their money towards those who truly need it. Lydia passionately proposed giving the money to someone on the street or a beggar, emphasizing her conviction by stating, “Give it to somebody on the street, am I on the street? Give it to a beggar.“
Lydia further underscored her point by expressing that she would find the gesture far more touching if the man chose to donate the same amount to a less fortunate individual instead of attempting to impress her with an insubstantial sum.
