A young lady has stirred discussion on social media after asserting that men in Abuja can also be gold diggers, challenging the often-repeated narrative that only women seek financial benefits in relationships.
In a video shared on X (Twitter), the lady recounted her personal experiences since relocating to the nation’s capital.
She admitted that she used to dismiss claims about Abuja men exploiting women financially until she encountered it firsthand.
“It is happening. Before I came to Abuja, I didn’t believe it. When they told me Abuja men are this and that, I didn’t believe it. I’m not the type to judge till it came to me,” she said.
According to her, several men she met displayed a subtle but consistent interest in her financial capacity rather than a genuine connection.
She said they frequently asked probing questions such as where she lived, whether she lived alone, and how much she earned, conversations that eventually led to requests for money.
She noted that society often criticizes women for spending men’s money, yet her experiences show that some men also engage in the same behaviour, seeking relationships primarily for material gain.
Her story has triggered a debate online, with many sharing similar encounters and others defending Abuja men from generalization.
