In a video on X, the lady indicated that men who are working should budget a minimum of GH₵5,000. She added that those in school could also budget GH₵1000.
She added that any man who budgets below the stated amount must make sure he has good vibes.
The money they have budgeted is to be spent on their female partners on Valentine's Day.
"At least budget GH₵5000. For those in the University, they should budget GH₵1,000. If your budget is GH₵500, then you must have some vibe."
Meanwhile, Dr John Boakye, a Ghanaian marriage counsellor, said it is the thoughtfulness involved in giving gifts on Valentine's Day that matter and not necessarily the cost of the item.
"We need to appreaciate the thoughtfulness involved and not necessarily the cost of the gift given. If we put value on the cost more than the thoughts, it becomes worrying. Money makes love stronger but it is not all a relationship needs to survive."

"What’s the woman’s Vals day budget? I’m not obligated to celebrate Valentine’s Day. If I love you I would be proving it to you every other day except for that specific Val's day cause at this point it even annoys ah. I don’t owe any woman on this planet anything on Val’s day you just want to show off to friends and nothing more. African some women are so shameless they are taking this Val’s day soo serious without even knowing the truth about this valentines day thing."

"Budget for Valentine day? Ah what at all is this society turning into? Now this has become a concern so much that people need a budget? And you have to also celebrate birthday, Christmas, Easter, Salah and others? This generation is just cooked."
@photor003 said:
"You only listen to modern women out of courtesy, not with any expectation of reason. Listening to a woman is just a social obligation not intellectual engagement; you acknowledge their right to speak and not the value of what's said. There's none."

"If a woman likes you even if you gift her tea bread, she’d be happy. Point is you don’t need to try too hard to impress a girl that really likes you. If you have to do all that to impress a girl, you’re a dog."
