An X post from @instablog9ja shared Tochi’s screenshot and rant. According to the rapper and real estate agent from Imo State, he met a woman the previous night. Less than 24 hours later, she asked him for ₦750,000 to fund her perfume shopping.
Tochi did not hide his frustration. He jokingly blamed “native doctors” for giving the woman such audacity. The post quickly spread, with many Nigerians reacting with a mix of laughter, shock, and criticism.
“Relationship can’t work in Nigeria, these girls are into business,” several commenters wrote, using Tochi’s story as the latest example. For many, the speed of the request was the issue. Meeting someone at night and asking for three-quarter of a million naira by the next day for luxury items feels, to them, like a transaction, not a connection.
Others defended the woman, saying public figures often attract high-maintenance expectations, and that people are free to ask for whatever they want. The debate, however, kept circling back to entitlement, expectations, and money in casual encounters within Nigeria’s social scene.
Tochi is known to fans from the “Lockdown” season of BBNaija and now runs business outside the house. As a public figure, his DMs and experiences are often under a microscope. This one, he said, crossed the line.
