Veteran Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Alibaba, has shared his insight into the viral discourse about what a woman must ‘bring to the table’ in a relationship.
The topic grew more prominent after former BigBrother Naija housemate, said she brings nothing to romantic relationships except her body.
While sharing his opinion on the same issue on The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, Alibaba stated that a woman does not have to bring monetary value to the table.
The ‘King of Comedy’ stated that she can offer intangible value such as advise, understanding among others.
He said,”I have a friend who mentioned that he asked a lady one time and they’ve been dating and he said, you know, I’ve looked at this relationship really and I want to know what you’re bringing and the lady was like, why would you ask me what you’re bringing?
“He said some people will bring understanding to the table and that’s all that matters. Some people will bring encouragement to the table.”
While sharing a story to compliment his opinion, he said, ‘There’s one time they came to arrest one guy.
“What did the woman bring to the table? Networking, she called one person, called another person and said don’t worry… like 30 minutes later the vehicle that took him brought him back to the house”.
