A young Nigerian woman has set social media ablaze with her controversial views on dating and financial thresholds, declaring men who earn between one and two million Naira monthly as unsuitable partners because she considers them "poor."
"I'm Just A Girl": The Viral Claim That Ignited Debate
The incident began when a video featuring the lady, who uses the social media handle @nobdylikesaisha, was shared online by user @KaptainJeff. In the clip, she explicitly states her dating criteria, which immediately drew widespread criticism and discussion. The video was published on December 19, 2025.
She did not mince words, stating clearly: "People that earn 1m to 2m monthly, like 1 million to 2 million monthly, are poor." She followed this by asserting, "You can’t be earning 1 to 2 million monthly and expect to date me."
From "Friends" to Financial Demands: Her Detailed Stipulations
The lady elaborated on how she would interact with men in that income bracket, revealing a transactional perspective. She said such individuals could only occupy the space of a friend, kept handy for financial emergencies.
"I can only use him as maybe a friend, maybe when I need emergency 50k or 100k, that’s when I will like message him," she explained.
When outlining the profile of a man she would consider dating, her demands were specific and financial. "5 million, if you earn 5 million, you’ll give me 3 million, you’ll keep 2 million for yourself," she stated. When questioned about what she would offer in return for such a substantial monthly allowance, her simple reply was: "What do you want me to do, I’m just a girl."
Social Media Erupts in Anger and Disbelief
The video rapidly went viral, triggering a flood of reactions from Nigerians who condemned her stance. Many accused her of "rage-baiting"—posting inflammatory content purely for attention—while others expressed disappointment in such attitudes.
User @phoenixx4ty commented: "They say things like this bcos this what’s gon get people talking (rage baiting y’all)... although stupid girls like this do exist tho."
Another user, @Jerale9, added a broader critique: "9ja africa capital of simps. That's why we have too many fools like diz." Meanwhile, @Phenomenaljacey criticized the focus of the discussion: "Them ask you about computer you no fit answer one but everything about man wey dem ask you answer all plus extra sef."
Some reactions also contained skepticism about the authenticity of the interview, with @Ucheface001 noting, "Oga make una no de put monkey mic for mouth all de time,, abi na content joke una de do now?"
The controversy taps into ongoing conversations in Nigeria about materialism, gender dynamics in relationships, and the economic pressures facing young people. It echoes similar reports, such as one where a lady criticized a wealthy date for underpaying his staff, highlighting complex attitudes towards wealth and morality.
