She said; “I used to give men money. They will say their business is bad. I will give them a couple of million. Now I am just like…..You know, you are dating for marriage and you don’t want the guy to not do well and o if he is trying to invest in something that is not grow…you know how they always say there is ups and downs for guys.”
Aisien continued, “So if you help the guy in the beginning, then later when the guy is up, he will now also help you. How he treats you is dependent on how you treat him.”

Toke however disagreed with helping boyfriends. According to her, when a lady is not engaged or married to a man, whatever his destiny has in store for him is totally his business.
She said, ‘’You don’t have a ring on your finger, so that man’s destiny has nothing to do with you! If it is up, down, sideways, back, left, right…that is his motherf#cking business”

Idia then asked what a woman is supposed to do when she has a lot of money and her man needs her help.
Toke said all she can afford to do is give him the motivation he needs and say positive things to him, but that her money will never be part of it. She averred that she has got cousins and other relatives who, if she gives money, would pray for her to grow.
Idia went on to narrate how she gave money to a man who, instead of using it for business as he claimed, used the money to fly to Dubai.
She said, “There was this guy I gave money and then I remember all of a sudden his phone wasn’t going through. I was trying to reach him.”
Aisien further went on say, “He then explained to me his phone wasn’t working…blah..blah…blahh…and then I found out he had flown a popular girl business class to Dubai or South Africa at the time. He claimed he was in Lagos but that his phone was having issues. It was one of my brothers who told me that your boyfriend is here with a babe, and I was like, ‘no it’s not possible. He is in Lekki. My brother was like ‘are you mad?’ My brother has now sent me a picture.”
In the concluding part of the interview, Aisien said, “When I now told him he was in Dubai, he now goes ‘no babe, my friends dragged me’ I said, but I just gave you money for business, and he was like ‘it’s even for the business thing they dragged him”
