“You Must Earn From N5M Up”: TASUED Student’s Viral Dating Standards Spark Debate

A female undergraduate from Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) has ignited a fierce online debate after declaring a strict financial benchmark for her potential romantic partners in a viral video.

The computer science student stated unequivocally that she “cannot date a man who earns less than ₦5 million” monthly, outlining a tiered system for relationships based solely on a man's income.

A Tiered System of Friendship and Romance

In her explanation, the student categorized men by their earnings:

* The "Poor" Category: Men earning between ₦1 million and ₦2 million monthly were labeled as "poor" and deemed unsuitable for dating.

* Casual "Emergency" Friends: Those earning below ₦1 million, she said, were only fit for casual friendship. “I can only befriend those who earn below one million, maybe when I need emergency 50K or 100k that’s when I’ll message him,” she stated.

* The Dating Threshold: For a serious romantic relationship, her non-negotiable standard begins at ₦5 million per month. She elaborated on the financial dynamics of such a partnership, suggesting, “You give me N3M and keep N2M for yourself.”

Online Reaction and Broader Conversation

The video has spread rapidly across social media platforms, drawing a polarized response. While some critics have accused her of promoting a purely transactional view of relationships and materialism, a smaller segment has defended her right to set personal standards, however high.

The incident has tapped into a larger, ongoing conversation in Nigeria about gender roles, financial expectations in modern dating, and the perceived monetization of romance, particularly among younger generations.

He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...
