Actress Idia Aisien has spoken about her past experiences with toxic relationships, revealing that she once provided financial support to men who later hurt her.
In an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa, Aisien said she had given money to several men she dated.
She recounted a particular incident in which she gave a man money to support his business, only to later discover that the funds were used to fly another woman to Dubai.

She said, "I used to give men money. They will say their business is bad. I will give them a couple of million. Now I am just like…..You know, you are dating for marriage and you don't want the guy to not do well and o if he is trying to invest in something that is not grow…you know how they always say there is ups and downs for guys. So if you help the guy in the beginning, then later when the guy is up, he will now also help you. How he treats you is dependent on how you treat him.''

She added, "There was this guy I gave money and then I remember all of a sudden his phone wasn't going through. I was trying to reach him. He then explained to me his phone wasn't working…blah..blah…blahh…and then I found out he had flown a popular girl business class to Dubai or South Africa at the time.
"He claimed he was in Lagos but that his phone was having issues. It was one of my brothers that told me that your boyfriend is here with a babe and I was like ‘no it’s not possible.
"He is in Lekki' My brother was like ‘are you mad?’ My brother now sent me a picture. When I now told him he was in Dubai, he now goes ‘no babe, my friends dragged me’ I said but I just gave you money for business and he was like ‘it’s even for the business thing they dragged him''
However, Toke Makinwa disagreed with Aisien's approach, stating that a woman should not financially support a man she is not married to, emphasising that his destiny is his own responsibility.
‘’You don't have a ring on your finger, so that man's destiny has nothing to do with you! If it is up, down, sideways, back, left, right…that is his motherf#cking business", she said.
