Ghanaian Lady Sparks Debate: Which Is More Important, Money or Love in Relationships?

• A young Ghanaian lady sparked online debate by claiming that money is more important than love in a relationship
• She openly admitted to being a "gold digger" and asserted that she would only engage in relationships that provide financial benefits
• The video, which showcases her frank views on relationships, garnered mixed reactions from Ghanaians, with some supporting her

A young Ghanaian lady has stirred a heated debate online after openly declaring that money is more important than love in a relationship.

In a trending video shared on Instagram, the lady, who identifies as a "gold digger," argued that financial benefits are crucial in any romantic relationship.

Speaking from the streets of Accra, she referenced a popular line from Nigerian artist Davido’s hit song Assurance: 'Love is sweet oh, but when money enter love, it's sweeter.

She quoted the song, saying:

"There is a song that goes like this: 'love is sweet oh, but when money enter love, it's sweeter'.'"

The young lady based her ideology of relationships on the song. She continued further, hurling insults at those who would try to be in a relationship with her without ensuring she benefits financially from it.

She asserted her dominance on being a 'gold digger,' i.e., someone who enters a romantic relationship primarily for financial gain rather than for genuine love or affection.

Individuals like her in society are motivated by the prospect of obtaining money, gifts, or other material benefits from their wealthy partner. This behaviour is often seen as opportunistic and transactional, focusing on what they can get from the relationship rather than building a genuine emotional connection.

She claimed that if she were dating for love alone, the love would not be able to pay the rent when it is due; as such, money is a priority for her instead of the stench that comes with love.

The Ghanaian lady also said that despite being in multiple relationships, she would not mind having a wealthy, often older, man who would provide for her financially in exchange for companionship, intimacy, or other favours.

She also shared the number of boyfriends she has and how she manages to gather the sum of GH₵100 from each of them daily. Despite all this, she maintains that this money is not enough to cater for her needs.

The video of her ranting about her love for money was shared on Instagram and caught the attention of many.

Golda confidently stated that Dbee girls, unlike Yaanom girls, provide more than just love and compatibility—they bring valuable opportunities.
