BBNaija’s Doyin has taken a stand against the habit of Nigerians who criticize young women for marrying older, wealthy men.
In response to the recent backlash received by the reigning Miss Universe, Mitchel Ihezue, following the announcement of her marriage to an older man, Doyin expressed her disagreement with the notion that true love can only be found in a relationship with a poor man.
She argued that society often labels women who choose to marry “up” as gold diggers.
She criticized the shallow mindset of assuming or claiming that any woman dating a wealthy man is only motivated by money and not genuine love.
According to the BBNaija All Stars housemate, such judgments are unfair and fail to consider the other factors of human relationships.
Her remarks have sparked discussions on social media, sparking conversation about societal expectations and double standards when it comes to relationships.
Many have applauded Doyin for challenging the stereotypes and defending women’s right to choose their partners based on their own desires, including love and care.
The controversy surrounding young women marrying older, wealthy men is not new, but Doyin’s defense of these unions has brought renewed attention to the topic.
As the conversation continues to trend, it has garnered attention from netizens online.
