Deji Adeyanju has sparked fresh reactions online after sharing his thoughts on relationships and Nigeria’s harsh economy. The activist and lawyer focused on the financial pressure some couples face today.
Adeyanju shared his opinion in a post on X. He warned men against taking on partners whose lifestyles they cannot afford. According to him, the current economy makes financial dependence even harder.
“If the devil wants to punish you as a man, he will give you a jobless Nigerian babe with high taste.”
He continued by pointing to the rising cost of living across the country. Adeyanju said people should not depend on others to handle their bills. He also described adding such financial pressure as taking on “a liability.”
His comments have since triggered conversations online. Some social media users agreed with his concerns about financial responsibility. Others, however, questioned whether unemployment should determine a person’s value in a relationship.
Adeyanju’s post comes amid growing discussions about money, dating, and expectations among young Nigerians. With prices rising, many people now pay closer attention to financial compatibility.
For some couples, these issues can shape how they approach relationships and shared responsibilities.
