Actress Idia Aisien Opens Up On Providing Financially For Men

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nollywood actress Idia Aisien, has shared some of her relationship commitments, and its effects.

The movie star, while speaking in a candid interview with Toke Makinwa, revealed that she was the provider in some of her relationships. She revealed that she used to give men money once they complain about financial assistance.

According to Aisien, she was convinced by the notion of lifting one's partner up in times of need, and such acts would be reciprocated later

The actress, however, shared how the act backfired, as a particular guy she gifted money used it to fly another girl outside the country, yet denied it.

“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. 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.”

"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. 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 that 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 now sent me a picture. 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."

Dropping her bit, Toke Makinwa disagreed with Idia Aisien's way, maintaining that as long as as they are not married, financial assistance should be prohibited.
