A lady has sparked online debate after claiming that men, particularly in Abuja, are also gold diggers, just like many women.
There are gold digging men
In a detailed post, she shared her experience since moving to the city, saying she had initially been sceptical of the claims about men seeking women for financial gain.
“It is happening. Before I came to Abuja I didn’t believe it. When they told me Abuja men are this and that I didn’t believe it. I’m not the type to judge till it came to me,” she wrote.
She described how men would ask to know where she lived, whether she lived alone, and how much she had, with the ultimate goal of requesting money.
She added that while women are often accused of spending men’s money, men also engage in similar behaviour, seeking partners to leech from financially.
Social media reactions
@iamjecintakel: “This is 100% true. When I moved to Abuja, one man who came to visit refused to leave. He stayed for one week. Ate my food, used my stuff, used the AC 24 hrs and never contributed shi shi. I had to call my brothers to help me chase him away .”
@Feliz: “I have been observing this gathering; all they do is sit down and talk about men and women, marriage, and sex. Is that how unemployed our people have become, or what?”
@LOUISFIRE_TECH: “You women like spending men’s money but small #2500 way man won collect from you now you done already they cry online so you see how it feels bah .”
@Asa: “For a hikers club, these people are always sitting down and talking instead of walking.”
@udaonu: “Deal with it. Upcoming diggers meets old diggers.”
@lamowolabi: “Make we all be gold diggers, there’s plenty gold to go around.”
The reactions show a mix of humour, agreement, and criticism from social media users, highlighting the ongoing conversation about gender, money, and relationships.
Many acknowledged the prevalence of financial motives in dating, while others took a lighter approach, joking about the universality of “gold-digging” behaviour.

“Men nowadays are also gold diggers, but they refuse to admit it, just like women. Even many Abuja men I know are gold diggers.”👀👀
