In a recent video, activist VeryDarkBlackMan addresses Priscilla, the daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, regarding her statement in which she revealed that she wouldn’t marry a man below her.
During an interview, Priscilla, an Instagram influencer, sparked discussions as she asserted her reluctance to be in a relationship with a man who earns less than her.
She elaborated, expressing concerns that such a man might hinder her progress, being unable to support her financially for events like birthdays and other aspects of life.
In response to the video, VeryDarkBlackMan criticized Priscilla Ojo, stating that if men were removed from the lives of Nigerian women, 80% of them would be left with nothing.
He continued, asserting that the number of women who are genuinely successful on their own is less than 20%, highlighting a perception that many rely on sugar daddies, politicians, and individuals involved in fraudulent activities as their support system.
VeryDarkBlackMan observed that if men adopted the mindset of marrying wealthy individuals like women, the situation would be even more challenging.
The activist expressed that while he doesn’t blame Priscilla Ojo for sharing her opinion, he deemed it degrading and suggested it should be kept private rather than being spoken publicly.
Additionally, VeryDarkBlackMan mentioned that Priscilla took advantage of her interview opportunity to degrade those who might not be at her level.

Here are some reactions:
tufab: “I agree with Very Dark Man on this one. Nigerian men, please stop dating broke girls. Let them go hustle. They won’t date broke men, so why date them? Anyway, I’m speaking for the broke ones. 😢.”
_peaceful_baddie: “I’m now beginning to like this guy because he no send anybody papa lol 😂 Verydarkman fans please gather here for a selfie.”
funky__m_o: “This is the first time I’m commenting on this guy’s content, but then you’re very silly. It’s okay if no woman succeeds in your family without a man, but guy, I’m in a circle of ladies who are doing well for themselves with their own money. Ladies who make millions, build houses, and furnish them in 5 months with no man’s money. Please, get a life.”
natasha_blessing_rasaq: “This guy nor just get sense? Na the fame dey make am talk rubbish. Who told you women cannot survive on their own without men? If men could be on their own, why did God create women? You just dey form yeye activist. Even in friendship, you must bring value. We all need each other to survive in this world.”
big_treshly: “I’m not offended by what this guy is saying; no, his words motivate me actually 💯. The more he talks down on women, the more I see the reason why women need to do more. I’m a very big fan of hard work, and I will tell him for free that he is wrong about Nigerian women, and he is wrong in his choice of words.”
teeto___olayeni: “Guy take several steps to the backkkkkkk. Who made you the voice of the people???? Must you always have a say????? How many women can feed themselves??? Maybe the women in your family sha. Guy move around and see women doing well for themselves.”
