Victor Osimhen pointed out that he does not support one-sided expectations where men are pressured to buy costly items without receiving genuine appreciation in return.
The Nigerian footballer stated that he cannot buy a woman a gift as expensive as $100,000 to show his love and care, and get mere words in return.
In the video circulating on social media, the Turkish team forward said:
“I don’t care about looks. If you’re not bringing anything to the table, I’m not doing anything. I cannot buy a Birkin bag of $100k for a girl, and when it reaches my turn, you’re telling me ‘a king is born today’.”
The clip has continued to trend, with many weighing in on whether his stance reflects the reality of dating today.
Some applauded Victor Osimhen's straightforwardness, while others argued that relationships should not be judged by material exchange.

Gifting in relationships shouldn't be one-sided – Analyst
In a chat with Legit.ng, a social media analyst who requested anonymity, reacted to the clip, noting that many relationships today are influenced by transactional expectations and unequal standards.
He stated:
“Sadly, relationships nowadays have become transactional. Some women only want to date rich men for their money, and many feel it’s only men who should be giving gifts, without considering giving back. That mindset is very wrong. A healthy relationship is a partnership, and whatever a man does for a woman should be appreciated and reciprocated. When both sides give and take, it keeps the love alive, the respect mutual, and the fire of the relationship burning.”

“I don’t understand why some people are stingy or not thoughtful. When someone shows you kindness or celebrates you with a gift, especially on your birthday, it feels right to find a way to reciprocate. I genuinely enjoy giving gifts, and I’ve encouraged that culture within my family. Charity begins at home.”
