Don’t Spend Money On A Woman You’re Not Married To – Leila Djansi Advises Men
Award-winning movie director, Leila Afua Djansi, has advised bachelors not to spend their money on women they are not married to.
According to her “a woman should be able to take care of her own self”. Hence her advise is that unmarried men should rather “save the money and invest in something else.”
The ‘Northern Affair’ director’s advise follows an earlier post she made on her Facebook page. In that post, Leila advised young women not to cook for men they are not married to.
Her post reads;
“Rolling my eyes all the way back to see my shoulder blades!! Ladies, do NOT go cooking, cleaning and doing laundry in the home of a man who has not married you. He’s not buying a car that requires a test drive. You are an individual human being and you don’t need a master, you WANT a part-ner.”
Obviously, the post caused some sort of agitation among some men, though the ladies seemed happy.
As a result, one gentleman, Cedrych M Owens Amegah asked; “So can the same lady expect me to make her look beautiful before our marriage?? I mean investing in her if the need be?? Cux I don’t think once in awhile helping ur partner to be is a crime here, unless otherwise.”
That was when the ladies had their share of the cake as Leila Djansi responded;
“Nope. A woman should be able to take care of her own self. You should not be spending money on a woman you are not married to. Save that money and invest in something else, unless of course, you are a sugar daddy. Then you know it’s part of your duties. Then again, cooking and cleaning is not a prerequisite for paying for your partner to look the way that pleases THE BOTH OF YOU,” Leila responded.
