Popular Nigerian singer Omawumi has weighed in on the widely held belief that modern romantic relationships are transactional, stating that this has always been the case.
In a recent interview with Pulse, the ‘Bottom Belle’ singer said that love is transactional in nature but acknowledged that it has become more demanding than before.
Omawumi noted that impressing a lady was inexpensive in her youth, but it is now more expensive due to technology and inflation.

“Love has always been transactional. Women have always been demanding since the beginning of time. But during my youth, our transaction was different because you can impress your crush with just ice cream and popcorn. But now, it is iPhone,” she said.
The music star, however, said society sometimes amplifies the transactional nature of relationships by ignoring women’s reciprocation.
She went on to say that most men who complain about the transactional aspect of relationships put themselves in this situation by dating women who have higher standards.
