Churchill Show comedian MCA Tricky has amused audiences not only with his jokes but also with his personal approach to finances in relationships. Recently, MCA Tricky, whose real name is Paul Kimani Njoroge, opened up about his cautious approach to spending on girlfriends, humorously dubbing himself “Africa’s most stingy man” in matters of romance.
In a candid interview with Nairobi News, the comedian revealed the rationale behind his frugality. Far from being a sign of indifference or lack of care, MCA Tricky’s approach to spending is a deliberate choice, informed by his past financial struggles and his determination to secure a stable future.
Reflecting on his financial journey, MCA Tricky explained that his experiences with hardship had left a lasting impression, shaping how he manages his resources today. “I haven’t forgotten where I came from. Some men spend up to Sh50,000 on their partners, but I could never do that,” he shared. The most he had ever spent on a romantic interest, he admitted, was Sh10,000, a decision he later regretted.
According to the comedian, his approach to money in relationships is straightforward: he avoids large expenses on girlfriends, instead prioritizing savings and investments that he believes will pay off in the future. “Even the girls I’ve dated can confirm I’m the stingiest man in Africa. I’m very reluctant to spend on women,” he said, hinting that his commitment to financial prudence extends even to his romantic life.
MCA Tricky’s cautious spending comes with a unique set of values that guide him in relationships. He expressed surprise at the lengths some men go to in order to provide financially for girlfriends, including giving them regular maintenance allowances. He finds this practice somewhat excessive and is waiting to meet a woman who would be his wife before making any major financial commitments. “I’m saving for my future wife. At least when you give to your wife, it stays in the home,” he said with a chuckle.
While his focus is largely on his financial security, MCA Tricky also has clear standards for the qualities he seeks in a life partner. Education, he shared, is a top priority for him. “I prefer her to be well-educated. I know the value of education and what it would mean for her before I even meet her,” he said. This emphasis on education reflects his belief in a partner who values growth and has the skills to build a stable future alongside him.
However, despite his specific expectations, MCA Tricky is less particular about appearance. “The rest is God-given; you can’t judge how someone was made,” he explained, light-heartedly adding that he hopes to meet someone who doesn’t outdo him in drinking. “But she shouldn’t be able to drink more than me,” he laughed.
This mix of humor and honesty has won MCA Tricky the admiration of many, with fans applauding his level-headed perspective on relationships. By openly acknowledging his cautious attitude toward spending and his focus on long-term goals, MCA Tricky presents a refreshing take on relationships in today’s society, where financial expectations can often be high.
In a world where people, especially celebrities, frequently feel pressured to spend lavishly, MCA Tricky’s story provides a different outlook. His values resonate with those who prioritize stability and long-term planning over instant gratification, serving as a reminder of the importance of financial mindfulness in relationships.
As he humorously navigates the world of dating, MCA Tricky continues to inspire others to think about what they truly value in relationships. His story is one of balance managing finances wisely while remaining open to the future, and finding humor even in life’s practical decisions.
