In a recent interview with TVC, renowned Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson talked about romantic relationship and love.
He expressed concerns over the increasing trend of monetizing romantic relationships. He observed that many women equate a man’s affection with his financial generosity, leading to misconceptions about genuine love.
Egbuson stated, “Some men know that when they spend lavishly on a lady, she would think they are in love with her. But that is not love because he’s a billionaire; he can afford to do the same thing for hundreds of girls.”
He emphasized that for affluent men, extravagant spending doesn’t necessarily signify true affection, as they have the means to replicate such gestures with multiple partners.

He further explained that the abundance of options available to wealthy men contributes to a nonchalant attitude towards relationships.
“The nonchalant attitude of some men is because there are a lot of women accessible to them. You know, once you have money, you have a lot of options. And that is also because a lot of women have monetized dating,” Egbuson remarked.
On a personal note, Egbuson revealed his current relationship status during an appearance on ‘Who’s In My House,’ hosted by Hawa Magaji. He shared, “Yes, actually. Oh my God, I said it! I think I am in love. It’s time for me to start considering marriage. I am not a kid anymore. 40 is knocking on the door.”
He acknowledged the importance of being present in a relationship, noting that material gifts cannot replace quality time and genuine connection. “In order to be a better boyfriend, you have to be available. Because no matter how you try to explain or compensate with material things, there would be really nothing like your presence, you know,” he added.
Timini, who is a brother to Nollywood actress, Dakore Egbuson is one of Nollywood’s top grossing actors today. He has featured in top blockbusters such as ‘Tribe of Judah’, ‘Breaded Life’, ‘Elevator Baby’, etc.
