Nollywood actor, Timini Egbuson has shared a candid reflection on love, money, and the lessons he learned from his past relationships.
Speaking in an interview with Jay On-Air TV, the actor admitted that although he once believed money was the most important factor in a relationship, his perspective has changed over time.
“I still think money is important, but what I realise now is that money is just one out of many things that matter. If all you can bring to a relationship is money, then you’re a very shallow man,” he said.
Timini explained that emotional presence, active listening, and showing up for a partner are what truly sustain a relationship, rather than financial provision alone.
According to him, wealth by itself is no longer impressive, especially in cities like Lagos where many people are already financially comfortable.
His comments have sparked conversations online, with many social media users agreeing that communication and emotional availability are often missing in modern relationships.
The actor concluded by admitting that communication was the biggest issue in his past relationship, which he attributed to his busy schedule and selfish mindset at the time.
He added that his outlook has since shifted, reflecting personal growth and a deeper understanding of what love truly requires.
