‘Women Don’t Have To Bring Cash To The Table’ – Comedian, Alibaba Touches On Relationships In New Interview
Ace stand-up comedian, Alibaba, has contributed to the viral discourse about what a woman must ‘bring to the table’ in a relationship.
Alibaba also took out time to advise women who pick up offense when asked by their significant others what they bring to the table.
According to the comic actor who has been married for over two decades, he believes it is not a reason to get offended as contrary to popular belief, cash is not the only factor a woman can bring to the table.
Using an example of his friend, he explained how even connections can be suitable in a relationship as his friend was arrested but released shortly after because of his wife’s connection.
He added money management, respect, understanding amongst others that takes precedence over love for some men in relationships.
The topic grew more prominent after Big Brother Naija star, Tolanibaj said she brings nothing to romantic relationships except her body.
But Alibaba, while speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, pointed out that money does not have to be a priority when stating the qualities that women have to offer.

“He said some people will bring understanding to the table and that’s all that matters. Some people will bring encouragement to the table.”
