July 23, 2021, marked a day when the debate on relationships and financial status took a new turn. Clinical psychologist Benjamin Zulu sparked a heated discussion by suggesting that broke men should focus on finding money rather than pursuing relationships.
However, musician Ben Githae has a different opinion. He believes that even broke men deserve a chance in relationships, as long as they have a clear plan and vision for their lives.
Ben Githae took to social media to express his views, citing examples of successful individuals who were not rich in the past. He asked, 'What if Rachel Ruto despised the DP in the early 90s? What if Mrs SK Macharia looked down upon her husband in the 70s?'
He emphasized that women should not judge men based on their financial status alone. Instead, they should consider the potential and vision of a man, just as they would with any other partner.
Ben Githae's comments come at a time when social media has created a culture that equates relationships with financial value. While it is true that money is necessary in relationships, the focus should not be solely on the financial aspect.
Benjamin Zulu's views on the matter have been met with criticism, with some arguing that his advice is unrealistic and unfair to broke men. However, Ben Githae's message of hope and encouragement for broke men is a welcome respite in a society that often prioritizes wealth over potential.
