“Man who can’t buy his girlfriend wigs, clothes is useless” — Lady says
A viral video circulating on social media has triggered widespread reactions after a young woman shared her views on what defines a “useless” partner in a relationship.
In the clip, the lady openly linked a man’s value to his financial ability, sparking both support and backlash across platforms, including X (formerly Twitter).
Controversial Statement Divides Opinions
In her words, she said: “The sign of a useless guy is a guy that cannot afford to buy his girlfriend’s stuff, take care of her, buy her wigs, clothes, luxurious clothes, actually.
“And a guy that cannot be giving his girlfriend allowance, maybe weekly, monthly, stuff like that. I think there are a few signs of a useless guy.”
Her statement quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions from users who either criticised or defended her perspective.
Mixed Reactions From Social Media Users
An X user, Ojay, defended women who hold such views, placing responsibility on men who ignore early warning signs. He wrote:
“I do not blame girls that have this kinda of thinking.
1. She made you know she is in for the money. Na you talk say she love you.
2. She has shown her father and mother are in abject poverty. Na you talk say you can lift her up.
3. She has already said she can sleep with your folks if they have more money than you. Na you talk say there is love in sharing.
4. She has shown that as long as there is money, her loyalty is intact.
5. She has shown that, she will only marry you if u I can pay more and more.
So why blame the seller when it is the buyer that is the fuuuuuuulish one.”
Another user, Tunech2, turned the argument around, writing:
“A sign of a useless girlfriend is her inability to provide the needs of her man.”
Nedu also weighed in, saying:
“You can’t always be at the receiving end try Dey for the giving end but this no fit relate.”
Meanwhile, Enigma responded with a sarcastic list, stating:
“Signs of a useless girl;
1: she can’t buy you original sneakers
2: she can’t pay for your haircut
3: she doesn’t have a car
4: she can’t give you a baby boy treatment
5: she dey enter Keke.”
