Lady warns her gender after a guy who asked her out on a date told her to pay for her food.

According to her, this guy had asked her out on a date and she decided to give it a try.

He asked her to order what she wanted, “Thank God I just ordered stir-fried pasta and chicken with juice”, she said.

After the meal, the bill came (₦52,000), and the guy told her to send her own part of the money to him?

“Are you normal? But you came to meet me for a date?”, she exclaimed in the video.

Although as of the time of the date, she calmly just paid for the entire meal that they both had and left; After which she blocked him.

“Imagine if I did not have money or I did not come with money for that date, what would have happened”?

“So my girlies, if a guy asks you out on a date, go with money because you can be disappointed oh!”

She concluded with the fact that, she thanked God that was she ordered was not overboard.

“Imagine if I was greedy?.. Please, if a guy asks you out buy what you can pay for”  

A lady in the comment section reacted saying:

@MondayCaroline That is what they are learning on this app. Men are now acting really w3ird because of this app. Why will you take a lady out on a date and then ask her to contribute for the order. Don’t know if he has the money or not.

A video making the rounds on social media has left many Nigerians angry and unsettled, and once you hear what the man in it actually said, it is not hard to understand why.

A young Nigerian woman identified as Hafsat visited a business center recently, only to find herself in an uncomfortable and frankly alarming situation when a strange man in the same space began making advances at her and insisted on physically touching her. She did the right thing and recorded the encounter.

In the footage, the man’s reasoning is as brazen as it is disturbing. He told Hafsat that because she looked good, he felt the need to touch her body as a way of appreciating her beauty. When she calmly pointed out that he could admire her looks without putting his hands on her, he pushed back. He said he wanted to feel her skin.

At that point, most people would expect the man to catch himself and back down. Instead, he doubled down and reached for an argument that has since become the most talked-about part of the video.
“That is low mentality. In outside country, you have right to touch anybody to appreciate the beauty you see,” he told her, apparently suggesting that physically handling a stranger without consent is standard practice abroad and that Hafsat’s objection was a sign of ignorance.

She was having none of it. Hafsat raised her voice and made it absolutely clear that he was not to touch her again.

The clip has since gone viral, drawing sharp condemnation from Nigerians online who were quick to point out that the man’s claim about “outside country” is not only false but a particularly dangerous kind of misinformation. Consent is not a Western concept. It is a basic human one.

Watch the video below.

A video that has been making waves across social media captures the fiery moment a group of women physically blocked officials from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria from disconnecting their electricity supply, despite the fact that they had barely seen any power in months.

In the clip, the women, who expressed themselves in Yoruba, made their frustration known in no uncertain terms. “We have not had light yet you still want to disconnect our wire? For three months you have not given us power. We all sleep outside now,” one of them said, voicing what was clearly a community-wide grievance that had been building for a long time.

Rather than back down, the women planted themselves right beside the ladder the PHCN officials had brought along to climb the pole and carry out the disconnection. It was a simple but powerful act of defiance. You want to use this ladder? You are going through us first.

Things got tense when one of the officials attempted to physically push one of the women out of the way. That move backfired instantly. The other women closed in around him, making it abundantly clear that nobody was touching that pole today.

The video has since stirred strong reactions online, with many Nigerians siding firmly with the women. The sentiment is easy to understand. Being billed and threatened with disconnection for a service you have not received in three months is a particular kind of frustration that needs no translation, whether you speak Yoruba or not.

PHCN is yet to respond publicly to the incident.

There is a quiet crisis unfolding in Nigeria’s capital city, and not enough people are talking about it.

Popular media personality and Twitter influencer Chude (@Chude_ND1) brought it to the spotlight this week when he took to X (formerly Twitter) to share something that many Nigerians are living through but few are saying out loud, the brutal reality of skyrocketing rents that are forcing people to trade bigger homes for smaller ones, not by choice, but by financial necessity.

“People are not talking about how, in this economy, people are forced to move from bigger apartments to smaller ones due to ridiculous rent increases,” Chude wrote, and the post quickly resonated with thousands who clearly knew exactly what he was talking about.

He didn’t just speak in general terms either. He came with receipts.

A woman in his circle, he revealed, is preparing to vacate her three-bedroom apartment in Wuse 2, one of Abuja’s most sought-after neighbourhoods — after her annual rent jumped from ₦5 million to a staggering ₦12 million. Her solution? Downsize to a self-contained unit at around ₦2 million, just to stay within the Wuse area. Chude’s reaction said it all: “I wonder what she will do with all her furniture.”

That story alone would have been enough to make people stop scrolling. But Chude had more.

Another friend of his made a similar move, from a two-bedroom flat in upscale Guzape down to a one-bedroom in Lugbe, after his rent ballooned from ₦3 million to ₦8 million within just three years. Three years. The numbers are not gradual. They are aggressive.

And Chude himself? He says he’s already started selling off some of his belongings and is making the move from a two-bedroom to a one-bedroom. He was refreshingly blunt about where his own limit lies: paying more than ₦3 million in rent as a single man is simply off the table. “Not at this stage of my life,” he said. His backup plan, delivered with the kind of dry humour only someone truly frustrated could pull off, either relocate to one of Abuja’s outskirt villages, or use the rent money to build a modest home in Lungu instead.

What makes Chude’s thread hit differently is how ordinary the people in his stories are. These are not people living beyond their means or making poor financial decisions. They are simply people trying to hold on to the lives they built, in a city that keeps pricing them out of it.

The conversation around Nigeria’s housing crisis often gets drowned out by bigger economic headlines — the naira, fuel prices, food costs. But rent? Rent is personal. It’s the address on your ID card, the school run your kids are used to, the commute you’ve structured your whole life around. When that gets yanked away by a landlord slapping a 140% increase on your renewal notice, something deeper shifts.

Half of the people Chude knows in Abuja are currently searching for a new apartment. Half. In a city. Among one person’s social circle. That number alone should make policymakers uncomfortable.

For now though, Nigerians are doing what they’ve always done; adapting, downsizing, and finding dark humour in situations that really aren’t funny at all.
