She also asked women to desist from demanding transportation fares from men when they visit them.
"It's not as if we are rich or something, but there are some petty, petty things that if you do, it brings respect to you, it makes you ladylike. Something as little as a lorry fare, you have visited your boyfriend because, at the end of the day, you have missed him and gone to visit him, then you get there and ask him to pay for your fare, it's bad," she asserted.
An unidentified woman, who was on the show with Madam Agnes, also said women who take lorry fare from their boyfriends have nothing extraordinary in them to make their men stay committed to the relationship.

Sharing his professional views on this issue, in an interview with YEB.com.gh, counsellor Daniel Fenyi suggested that the best security for any woman is for her to make at least a little money of her own.
"Financial independence empowers women by giving them control over their own lives. When a woman earns her own money, she gains the autonomy to make decisions that shape her future, whether it be about her education, career, or personal relationships," he explained.
"This control fosters self-confidence and a sense of self-worth, allowing women to assert their rights and pursue their ambitions without being constrained by financial dependence on others," he added.
