Reality TV star and singer Hazel Onou, better known as Whitemoney, has shared his thoughts on the growing financial expectations in Nigeria’s dating scene, saying it has become increasingly difficult to find genuine connections.
Speaking in a video shared on his Instagram page, the former Big Brother Naija winner joked that he now needs a “referral code” to meet a good woman.According to him, many conversations now seem to revolve around money, making dating feel more transactional than romantic.”I can’t even lie, I’m getting older.
Dating in Nigeria is becoming something else. Abeg, where una dey see better woman? Una get referral code? Any small thing, billing. Small hello, billing. How are you? Billing,” he said.His comments quickly sparked conversations on social media, with many users sharing similar experiences. While some agreed that dating has become more challenging because of financial expectations, others argued that genuine partners still exist and suggested he may simply be searching in the wrong circles.Whitemoney, who rose to fame after winning the sixth season of Big Brother Naija in 2021, has remained active in the entertainment industry, balancing music and other creative projects.
