Kenyan politician Karen Nyamu has stirred conversation with her statement: “If she doesn’t spend on you, then she doesn’t like you. Women have money.” Her remark challenges traditional gender roles, where men are often expected to be the primary providers in relationships.
Nyamu’s statement suggests that love should be reciprocal—not just in emotional support but also financially. Many supporters agree, arguing that when a woman is truly invested in a man, she will willingly spend on him, just as she expects him to spend on her. They believe that in modern relationships, financial effort should go both ways.
Nyamu’s comment has undeniably sparked a broader discussion about love and money. As gender roles continue to evolve, the question remains: should financial investment be a key indicator of affection in relationships? Or is love about more than just material contributions?
