WHAT HAPPPENED ON THE STREETS OF TEMA Season 1 Episode 4

Money, dating, and relationships have always been linked, but in Ghana's challenging economic landscape, the dynamics have become increasingly complex. As your host Nats explores in this raw, honest conversation, the streets of Tema are witnessing a fascinating power struggle between romantic expectations and financial realities.

The episode dives deep into the phenomenon of "expensive dates" culture, where young people feel pressured to spend beyond their means at high-end establishments like Kempinski, when equally meaningful experiences exist right in their neighborhoods. This financial pressure has given rise to what Nats jokingly calls the "Tema Broke Boys Association" – a testament to the struggles many face while navigating modern dating scenes in a tough economy.

What happens when someone casually requests funds for maintenance that amounts to your entire monthly salary? How should we interpret contradictory statements like "I don't need your money" when actions consistently prove otherwise? Nats doesn't hold back in addressing these questions, offering both humor and wisdom for listeners struggling with similar experiences. The conversation particularly examines how social media platforms like TikTok have accelerated unrealistic relationship expectations through showcased gift-giving, creating a distorted view of what healthy relationships should look like.

Whether you're currently dating, in a relationship, or simply curious about modern romance dynamics, this episode offers valuable insights into finding balance – appreciating partners who support you through financial struggles, showing gratitude when possible, and building relationships founded on mutual growth rather than material expectations.

Forget it, just forget about it. It's all about disappointment.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, one thing I can't realize about the boys who they pay, most of them the nice thing they know't realize about the boys who they pay, what most of them then they deny, say they know they pay but actually they pay. Argue, let's argue. Yeah, you people, always you, they say oh, I know they pay. Oh me, they mean to you. Oh me, oh no, forget me. Mean to you, but you, people, they pay, you people, you, they pay.

That money, that money isn't legit because, hey, in these hard times, in this hard time but I understand that you know the economy is so, you know, fucked right now and we need to. You know, have a side hustle, have a side hustle, but oh, your side hustle if they make you billions, charlie, remember, say you know, charlie Do billions. No, you didn't do it secretly, but, charlie, you go and buy the 13 promos and put it in money bookie. Oh yeah, now, I'm sorry, we post to a tick tock to talk love, tick tock, love.

Speaker 1:

My people, child, don't forget, like I don't get the whole point where, like um, girls just hop on TikTok and they see things. They see that, yeah, some boys have bought their girls cars, phones and stuff. But, charlie, do you know what a girl had to do to get the money? Or do you know what a girl had to do to get that thing? You don't know. Maybe she's doing. She's doing a job perfectly well.

Speaker 1:

You know it's not all about all about spreading it. It's not about spreading it. But you know we're having something called responsibilities. If you are able to help me manage my finances, if you're able to take care of me as a man, give me that financial advice, help me to multiply, then why not? I'm just going to spoil you Because you were there for me and finally I became rich. I got the money. Why don't I waste it on you? I didn't say that I'm a balker. I'm a balker, I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that.

Speaker 1:

So, please, ladies, just don't go and hop on TikTok, that whole TikTok love, and feel like that's it. No, it doesn't come on a silver platter. If you like, just go do your research, your documentaries. You're going to know that all those kind of things, they don't come on a silver platter. No, they don't. They fucking don't. So, please, please, just relax for us, grow with us if the time is right. Remember this.

Speaker 1:

I know that there's this whole analogy of oh, he's gonna get a money and he's going to spend it with someone else, but no, forget it, forget it. That's not the issue. Baby see, get the money with me and see what I'll not spoil you. I, I'm a good boy with that. I'm a very good boy, no doubt about that. No doubt about that. Yeah, and we also the girls, yes, hey, this issue, the girls, um, I'm having a boyfriend, but I think we can try something.

Speaker 1:

That's statements if, if, if. That states if you're a boy, if you tell my boy, where that girl do make that statements to you forget. I don't say tell my boys, you guys to the few, oh, charlie, somebody in girl, just to see how. But you should be very careful out there, cause no, yeah, but you're still, you're gonna, you're gonna, you're just gonna, you know, take advantage just because it is, it is, it is there, it's available. But the girls you got you, you guys are really selling that. You guys are really selling the cookie. Because you guys are really selling that. You guys are really selling the cookie. You guys are selling the cookie. You're selling the cookie. You're actually selling the cookie.

Speaker 1:

You have a man. How can you tell me that? You know I can try, you can try what. You literally know that you have a man. What do you want to try with me? What do you want to try with me?

I'm going to send you the link and the form. The form is just, you know, for a prize. I'm not going to disclose the price, but the the form is for a prize. Yes, we just dm you. I I'll add you to the to my book boss association, because me and I'm a ceo ceo, no, charlie, you initiate by charlie dbi, and I'm not clubbing no puppy, you know, and you can't complain.

Speaker 1:

You can't see me, then can't stress me about it. It's my lifestyle and me I'm sick. You can't do anything about it. You know. You girls, stop billing us too much, I beg you, I beg you. We, we men, are natural givers. Men, we are natural givers. When we want to give you, we'll give you. We will spoil you, but suicide will be.

Speaker 1:

Then the power struggle sets in, the tension sets in and it's very bad. Please, I beg you, you girls should relax. But if you're having a woman, if you're having a woman and she's trying for you, please at least Some nice gifts be now their manner, so that she'll feel appreciated, you know. But girls, now my love language, your gifts, you know. So it's also a red flag. If someone has not told you, I'm telling you, how can your love language be gifts? I think so if somebody else gives you more than I'm giving you, that means you're going to spread it. You're going to spread it 180 degrees, please, please, yeah.
