Bukky Wright Rejects 'Gold Digger' Label
Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has sparked fresh debate with her blunt take on relationships and money. In a recent interview, the 59-year-old actress strongly criticised men who call women 'gold diggers' for expecting financial support from their partners. Wright argued that men should take pride in providing for the women they date and should not wait for them to ask for assistance.
'What Do You Expect Her to Dig?'
Wright, who previously opened up about why she left Nigeria, expressed her disdain for the term 'gold digger.' She said, 'I hate it when I hear men calling women gold diggers. What do you expect her to dig? Sh*t? No, I won't… I won't advise any woman to dig anything less than gold.' According to Wright, a woman should not have to constantly request financial help; a man should naturally understand his responsibilities.
Blunt Advice for Struggling Men
When asked whether men who cannot afford to support a woman should avoid dating, Wright gave a direct answer: 'Then don't! Don't date if you cannot afford it! Or you date according to your level.' The actress emphasised that men should either step up or step out of the dating scene entirely.
Social Media Reactions
The interview sparked mixed reactions online. User @ChiefLier commented, 'If it's for the side of a married man, then it's fine. It's sad we have people like this to be giving advice that will end lot of ladies single with their kids with them.' Another user, @Jayeolajohnson3, wrote, 'So this aunty no get sense like this since omoh!! So according to her if he can afford 10 he should go for 10 women. This woman should better stick to crying in movies.'
