How do I know when my partner has and when he doesn’t?

Is it weird that I don’t know anything about my boyfriend’s financial status. He doesn’t even like talking about it, I can’t tell how much he has ever made or hasn’t. I don’t ever know when he has and when he doesn’t. In the sense that he doesn’t tell me, except I guess from his countenance. There’s a certain amount range that he gives me sometimes (when I feel like he has) but I see him spend a lot in times like that. For example, he may give me #20k and he’d be ordering a lot of things. Is it because I don’t ever bill him, and it’s because I always feel like as an average Nigerian man, he must have a lot of bills already so as not to bother him. For context, I work, I earn well, and I’m generous. In fact, I feel like most of the time when he spends on me, it’s out of guilt, or he feels compelled to when I spend on him first. It’s hard to explain, but I feel like he’s comfortable not spending on me because he knows I have my own money. Could he be spending on someone else. Or does he just have a lot of financial responsibilities. My friends say they can always tell when their boyfriends have money because of how well they treat them during those times, and that keeps their relationship steady even when the men go through tough financial periods. For me, I can’t tell when he has money or when he doesn’t because he always gives me a similar amount all the time. The amount is a just little more than Nigerian minimum wage. Our relationship is 16months old.
