Big Mimz, a content creator from Lagos, has started a big conversation online by saying that dating in Lagos is basically a scam.
In an interview with Egungun of Lagos, she said that modern relationships in the city are full of deals and lies. She said,
“Dating in Lagos is a scam. Relationships these days are full of scams.” “If you don’t have money, you shouldn’t be in a relationship because Lagos guys can take advantage of you. So it’s better to use them for their money before they use you too.”
Even though she didn’t have any bad dating experiences herself, her views show how many young people in Lagos feel about love in a city that moves fast and has a lot of pressure. She also talked about how money and pretending have become normal in dating in Lagos. She said,
“When you date for money, love will come,” and added, “Fake life wins in Lagos. If you look at the people who have succeeded, they all faked it.”
Her comments have caused a lot of different opinions. Some people agree that the economy has changed how people date, while others think love can still happen without money being the main thing.
