The post by Nigerian beauty Ivy Ifeoma sparked rumours that she and her lover, singer Paul Okoye, are now experiencing relationship difficulties.
Ivy seemed to disagree with Rudeboy’s assertion that men are only concerned with respect, not love. Rudeboy is Paul Okoye.
It all started when the 41-year-old posted a few weeks ago on his Instagram page that sometimes a man merely wants to be respected by his girlfriend instead of being adored.
According to him, respect is the only thing that matters to men because they are not always concerned with love. He stated:
Recently on her Instagram stories, Paul’s lover Ivy voiced her disapproval of this assertion.
Ivy quoted her lover and inquired, “What distinguishes a man’s partner from any other person if all that matters to him is respect?”
Ifeoma continued by reminding men that respect must be earned and not demanded as if their lives depended on it.
She urged them to stop acting like dogs and respect their partners as well. Her words are:
“Men don’t need love, all they need is respect.”
These are two different things, bro. If that’s all you need, what’s the difference between your partner and any random person, ’cause anyone can respect you… But there’s respect in love too.
And those men that keep demanding respect up and down like their lives depend on it, hope you know it’s earned? Stop acting like a dog and treat others with respect too.”
Rumours of an engagement between her and the singer have been denied by Ivy Ifeoma.
She previously gave the idea that he had proposed marriage to her by flashing a ring on her finger.
While haters expressed concern over the risk of speeding their relationship, fans congratulated her on social media.
Ivy clarified that it is only a fashion ring and not an engagement ring as many people had assumed, clearing up any confusion.
