In a recent episode of the popular “Bad and Bougie Podcast,” Nigerian actor Daniel Etim Effiong engaged in a conversation with hosts Moet Abebe and Tolani Baj about the distinctive approaches to seeking financial help between male and female actors in Nigeria.

Daniel Etim responded to Moet Abebe’s inquiry about the apparent disparity in the public seeking of financial assistance between male and female actors.

He talked about the strong societal norms affecting these behaviours, explaining the traditional expectations on men in many Nigerian communities.

According to Effiong, these cultural norms dictate that men are traditionally responsible for shouldering financial burdens, not only for themselves but also for the women in their lives.

This expectation, he argued, contributes to a higher visibility of men seeking financial aid, as opposed to women who may receive support more discreetly.

The actor emphasized that men often quietly handle their financial challenges instead of asking for help from women.

He explained that, in the traditional Nigerian context, a man’s priority upon earning income is often focused on ensuring the wellbeing of his family.

In instances of financial hardship, men are more inclined to publicly seek assistance, adhering to societal norms that consider it unconventional for women to financially support men.
