In a video on X, she indicated that the certain category of men should give more than GH₵5,000 as part of the gifts for Valentine's Day.

"If your boyfriend does not give you a minimum of GH₵5,000 for Val's Day please leave him. He is not worth it. Those giving the GH₵5,000 are the ones who work as bus conductors, drivers, and other menial jobs. Those with better-paying jobs must give you GH₵70,000 and above."

"The money the men will give you is nothing compared to all the things you do for them. You wash, cook, clean and warm their beds. You deserve the money. If he can't afford it then leave him now; otherwise, he will make money and go after other girls," she added.

Meanwhile, Dr John Boakye, a Ghanaian marriage counsellor shared his thoughts on the young lady's advice. The counsellor indicated that it is important for everyone to live within their means instead of overspending.

"Not everyone can afford GH₵5,000 in today's economy. This is why men must also choose women who can go further with them not only those who want money. Love relationship goes beyond money and everyone must take note of that."

"If as a woman your value and worth are built only on money, then every offer, good, bad, or ugly becomes a trap waiting for you. You’ll find yourself being pulled by any hand that waves cash, even when it leads to where dignity cannot follow. But there are currencies richer than money: character, intellect, loyalty, purpose, grace, etc. These are the treasures that set you apart and make you indispensable. Because in the end, money can open doors but it cannot fix a broken soul, restore lost respect, or buy back time and peace once they’re gone."
