A Nigerian woman has sparked massive debate online after strongly advising ladies to never settle for marriage with any man who cannot present them with a brand-new car on their wedding day. According to her, women must raise their standards in relationships and insist on financial security from men before agreeing to marriage.
The controversial statement was made in a viral TikTok post shared by user @chiomacf. In the video, she stressed that women should either marry men who are already wealthy and capable of providing a luxurious lifestyle, or remain single, adding that no man is worth enduring financial struggle or unnecessary hardship for.
Her bold words: “Do not marry a man that can not gift you a car on your wedding day. Listen to me ladies, I repeat, do not marry a man that isn’t capable of gifting you a car on your wedding day. Such a man cannot properly take care of you. A man that cannot provide for you, that cannot offer you the life you deserve, is not worth it.”
She went on to emphasize: “A man that can not take care of you and the children that will eventually come into the world, do not even try to manage such a man. Stop playing the role of an understanding girlfriend or wife with any man who is not financially stable. These men are not worth the sacrifice. This is 2025, ladies, do not lower your standards, it’s time to demand more.”
Continuing her message, she added: “Do not give any man excuses, do not give him unnecessary chances, and do not create breathing space for them. There should be no mercy, either marry them rich or stay single. Do not settle for less. Your happiness and future depend on it.”
The lady made several other remarks in her video, passionately urging women to take a firm stand on what they want from men. As the post made its way across social media, it drew mixed reactions from netizens who rushed to the comment section to express their views, with many disagreeing while others supported her call for financial standards in marriage.
