The orange-haired woman nonchalantly threatens to leave her lover if he stops spending or if someone wealthier shows up in a selfie video shared on social media on July 23.

Males called it a red flag and urged him to break up with her before she does after the video quickly received over a million views.

Others contend that males frequently initiate the money chase in relationships.

Commenters highlighted the economic forces influencing Nigerian dating by sharing memes, tales of misplaced expectations, and jokes about women looking for money from broke men but love from wealthy ones.
