A Nigerian woman has sparked a heated online debate after revealing that she cancelled a planned date when the man she was talking to disclosed that he had budgeted ₦100,000 for the outing.
The woman, identified as @Obianju2721931 on X, said the man had initially asked her out and she agreed to the date.
However, before the outing, she reportedly asked him how much he planned to spend. According to her account, he put his estimated budget at ₦100,000, a figure she considered insufficient for the occasion.
She subsequently called off the date, arguing that she would have to dress up and leave the comfort of her home for the outing.
“Some guys will remain single till Jesus comes,” she reportedly said while explaining her position.
The post quickly gained attention on social media, with Nigerians divided over whether her expectations were reasonable or excessive.
Some commenters criticised her for dismissing ₦100,000, noting that the amount represents a substantial sum for many Nigerians. Others argued that people should be free to set their own expectations for dates and, importantly, communicate those expectations before making plans.
The incident has once again stirred debate about dating costs, financial expectations and communication between people in the early stages of relationships.
For now, the discussion remains an **online debate based on the woman’s account, rather than an independently verified account of the private conversation between the two individuals.
