A Nigerian lady has sparked heated conversations online after sharing what she claims is a simple way to determine if a man has money before going on a date with him.
In a viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by @mazi_chinonso, the lady advised women to tell a man their data subscription had finished and then observe how he responds.
She claimed that if the man subscribes ₦10,000 or less, he is broke. However, if he goes ahead to subscribe ₦12,000 or more, it shows he has money.
In her words, she said:
“If you want to know if a man has money before going on a date with him, just act like your data has finished and ask him to subscribe for you. If he subs ₦10k or below, he doesn’t have money. But if he subs above ₦10k, hold him well, he has money.”
The statement quickly went viral on social media, triggering mixed reactions, with many users questioning the logic behind using data subscription as a measure of financial status.
Many reactions followed. One commentator wrote, “So data subscription is now a financial background check?” Another said, “This advice will make women lose good men.”
While some women believe the tip helps them avoid time-wasters, others argue that financial responsibility cannot be measured by buying data.
