Kenyan forex trader Onyango Tate has provoked a statement after gifting his girlfriend a new phone, explaining why he chose not to buy her the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max.
“I didn’t want to get her an iPhone 17 Pro Max cause we agree never above you, always below you,” Tate said, highlighting their personal philosophy of balance and humility in relationship.
Tate, known as a forex trader, he recently shocked many people by stating he left university because it’s a traditional education system that does not fit his ambition of becoming wealthy. He added that his success was found outside conventional education and credited his journey to real-world experiences and self-development.
According to Tate, it was a gesture of commitment, showing that love should be grounded in humility rather than extravagance.
Gifting his girlfriend has sparked mixed reactions online, with some saying giving her the phone is the ultimate test of love, while others claim luxury gifts often dominate relationships.
