OAP Gbemi O joined YouTube couple Akah and Claire Nnani, clinical sexuality coach, Hannah Jonathan (Soul Spice), and Wema Bank’s Head of Marketing Communications and Investor Relations, Funmilayo Falola, to discuss the relationships, sex and finances at the just concluded ALAT Talk Series 3.
Over 300 attendees joined the event via Zoom and Facebook Live to watch each speaker discuss how to balance a demanding career, with relationships, finances, and sex and learn from everyone who shared their individual experiences.
The Nnanis shared insights into their relationship and how they’ve been able to balance work and family. For Akah, “Trust is important in all our dealings. We trust each other in setting boundaries and understanding each other’s perspectives while managing our business together.” Claire added that “It is hard not to see each other as competition, especially when you are working in the same space, but understanding your strengths is key.”
Clinical sexuality coach, Hannah Jonathan, gave a scintillating talk on how sex and intimacy affect the longevity of many relationships in Nigeria: “Most couples do not set boundaries early in their relationship and are easily influenced by work, friends, and family, which leads to stress. This stress causes frustration, leaving one party sexually frustrated and then they go outside and engage in extramarital affairs to fill the space.”
Funmilayo Falola, Head, Marketing Communications and Investor Relations, Wema Bank, speaking on ‘Juggling finance and relationship decisions’, spoke about combining work with caring for her family. She said, “Most couples that struggle with finances do not have conversations about their financial goals and how they intend to achieve them. This causes friction in the marriage.”
She added, “ALAT is committed to improving financial literacy among young Nigerians by providing them with the tools and services to make the right financial decisions, especially in situations like marriages and relationships.”
The ALAT Talk Series is a virtual session for young Nigerians organized by ALAT by Wema to exchange ideas and insights about life, relationships, technology, and finance, offering them informed opinions from experts and other experienced young professionals who are knowledgeable in various areas.
