Nollywood actress and self-styled love therapist Destiny Etiko has sparked conversation across social media after offering a raw take on the often glamorized idea of women receiving money from men with ease.


In her candid message, Etiko challenges the perception that being financially supported by men is a walk in the park. “If you think it’s easy to get money from men, go and try,” she declared, urging people to look beyond the surface of flashy lifestyles and social media highlight reels.


While acknowledging that some women make it seem effortless, she breaks down the mental, emotional, and even physical toll that often comes with maintaining such dynamics. “It’s not just about looking pretty and posting hot pics, that’s for beginners,” she explains. “There’s emotional manipulation, calculated texting, strategic silence, mind games, lies, premium packaging, faking and all what not.”


Etiko highlighted the constant pressure to maintain a flawless persona, always soft, sexy, and mysterious, around the clock. She also noted the potential downsides, such as the risk of health issues, emotional fatigue, and the possibility of a damaged reputation.


“Shocker, despite all these, the money doesn’t always show up!” she added, pointing out that even with all the effort, financial reward isn’t guaranteed. “You keep strategizing endlessly.”


Her final advice is both practical and sobering: “Please hold your job, trade; whatever you do, hold it tight. That life isn’t as attractive as you think it is!”


Etiko’s remarks have sparked widespread discussion, especially among young women navigating the pressures of social media and societal expectations. Many are applauding her honesty for pulling back the curtain on a lifestyle that’s often misunderstood, revealing the reality behind the filters and flash.
