A Nigerian man has sparked reactions online after sharing his opinion about dating expenses and where men should take their partners on outings.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), he advised men to stop taking their girlfriends to expensive restaurants, claiming that local “Bukkas” are more affordable and practical.
In his words, he said:
“Bukka is better than restaurant, stop taking your girlfriend to restaurant and send 15k but here you will spend only 4k. All the girls in my life I take them to Bukka.
All those girls are not worth spending your money on. You meet a girl today, you’re spending 40k on her.”
According to him, spending money on restaurant dates is unnecessary when cheaper alternatives like local restaurants exist.
His statement has since sparked mixed reactions online, with many social media users criticizing his views on relationships and spending, while others argued that dating expenses should be based on individual financial capacity and preferences.
One user wrote, “Bukka or restaurant, if she likes you she go follow you go anywhere 😂.” Another added, “Na why some men no dey enjoy relationship, everything na calculation.
