Join Street-Begging Instead Of Dating For Money – Emeka Ike Advises Ladies

Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike has criticized the growing trend of dating for financial gain, describing it as a form of “romantic scam.”

According to the actor, some women enter relationships with the main intention of getting money from their partners rather than building genuine love. He said this amounts to fraud because the other person is often unaware of the true motive behind the relationship.

Speaking during a recent interview with BBC Pidgin, Ike advised women who date only for financial benefits to consider street begging instead of using relationships as a way to make money from unsuspecting men.

He said, “Love and marriage is not scam. But there are a few hungry people who are using relationship as meal tickets. That’s where it becomes a scam.

“Love is beautiful. If you find someone who genuinely likes you, it’s very sweet. But when you are liking him or her for an end they are not aware of, that’s a scam.

“A lot of girls are going into relationships because what they want to get from the man. They should just join street-begging instead of using relationship to raise money.

“Relationship is supposed to be sacred. Love is the pillar of every good relationship. Let’s stop messing it up in Nigeria. Let’s stop pretending that we are in love just to raise money. Relationship shouldn’t be a source of income.”
