“Don’t Date If You Can’t Afford It” — Bukky Wright Sparks Debate on Money and Relationships

*Nollywood veteran says men should provide without being asked, slams “gold digger” label*

Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has stirred heated debate on social media after speaking on the financial responsibilities of men in relationships.

According to the actress, a man should naturally provide for the woman he is dating without waiting for her to ask.

In her words:

“She doesn’t even need to ask you. It’s your responsibility as a man to know that your woman needs to dress well and look good. She should be your pride.”

*”What Do You Expect Her To Dig?”*

Reacting to the term “gold digger,” Wright did not hold back:

“I hate it when men call women gold diggers. What do you expect her to dig? I won’t advise any woman to dig anything less than gold.”

When asked if men who cannot afford the financial demands of dating should stay away from relationships, she responded:

“Then don’t date if you cannot afford it! Or date according to your level.”

*Mixed Reactions Online*

Her comments have since divided opinions. 

While some people agree that a man should be willing to support his partner, others argue that modern relationships should be built on love, partnership, and shared responsibility, rather than placing the financial burden on one person.

The actress’ remarks come amid ongoing conversations online about dating standards, gender roles, and financial expectations in relationships.
