Accra: Renowned Ghanaian fashion entrepreneur and Savile Row boss, Nana Sarfo, has expressed concerns over what he describes as the increasing materialistic tendencies of Ghanaian women, while also advising men to avoid succumbing to unnecessary financial pressures.
According to Ghana Web, Sarfo shared his thoughts during an interview with ZionFelix, where he highlighted a trend among some women who, despite having personal savings or even investing in properties, continue to place financial demands on their husbands instead of providing support. "There are some women, when you get married to them, they will have some money hidden somewhere or can even be building a house, but they will still be disturbing their husbands to provide instead of helping him," he remarked.
Sarfo pointed out that the influence of social media is contributing to this behavior, as it promotes a preference for materialistic lifestyles. "Some women nowadays like the materialistic stuff and they get influenced by what they see on social media and then end up putting pressure on their man," he explained.
He further emphasized that a man's peaceful home life is often a reflection of his wife's character. "If you see a man who is quiet and peaceful, just know that the wife loves him and tells him the truth," Sarfo noted. However, he cautioned men against using this tranquility as a justification for infidelity. "As a man, if you have a peaceful home, it is no excuse to go and be fooling around with other women," he warned.
In addition to discussing relationships, Sarfo addressed the pursuit of wealth, urging a shift in focus from quick riches to sustainable success. He argued that true success is measured by the ability to maintain wealth over time. "If you see someone getting rich in his 20s, it doesn't mean he is successful. It's only when he can maintain that wealth for long that we can say he is. There are people in their 60s without anything. We can't say they're successful because they've lived long," he stated.
Sarfo concluded by asserting that genuine success involves staying comfortable throughout one's life until the end.
