Nigerian woman Adejoke Lasisi has sparked conversation with her recent advice to fellow Nigerians, urging them to consider financial security when choosing a life partner.

Taking to her Facebook page on Thursday, August 7, Adejoke encouraged individuals to “marry for money.” The statement quickly attracted mixed reactions across social media.

Responding to the criticism, Adejoke clarified that her message was not directed at any particular gender. She emphasized that her advice applied equally to everyone, regardless of whether they are male or female.

“I said “marry for money if you have to” But why are some people ångry? Especially some men? Did I put gender there? Even men dey marry for money and connections nowadays. My post didn’t specify any gender,” she wrote.

“Some men shouting here go leave their current girlfriend for Otedola or Dangote daughters.

“Even me wey no get money gan, some brôke men dey chase after me…saying they don’t mind coming to live in the house I used my money to build. One even said he doesn’t mind using my car to take my son to school….e ri Olohun.

“Some men are with their spouse now because they no get choice. When some of them get money, they will go for their taste gangan.

“Don’t even let me start on how some of them dey marry great grandma from abroad. Why are we making it look like money is a bäd thing? Abeg, don’t strêss me jare.”
