Popular Nigerian media personality Chude Jideonwo has sparked widespread online conversations after speaking candidly about money, dating, and his personal relationship experiences.
Chude made the remarks during a recent interview on TVC, where he shared personal insights into how financial expectations have—or have not—shaped his romantic relationships.
During the interview, the talk show host revealed that he has never dated a woman who asked him for money at any point in their relationship.
According to him, his first girlfriend, who was unmarried but already had a child, was the one who supported him financially, even though he was earning more than she was at the time.
Chude explained that the experience challenged common assumptions about money dynamics in relationships and shaped his views on partnership, generosity, and emotional support.
His comments have since generated mixed reactions online, with many praising his honesty while others debated the broader expectations around money, gender roles, and dating in modern relationships.
The interview has added to ongoing conversations about financial independence, emotional connection, and the evolving dynamics of romantic partnerships in today’s society.
