Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has addressed circulating narratives following a viral video showing her surprising a dispatch rider — who had earlier professed love for her — with a shopping trip and luxury lunch.
After speculation spread that she had accepted the rider’s romantic proposal, Sarah set the record straight on social media.
“I did not say yes to a dispatch rider. I am not the type that dates low, and I cannot fix any man to fit into my standards — hell to the no,” she wrote.
“It Was an Act of Humanity”
Sarah clarified that her gesture was not romantic but humanitarian.
“I only extended my hands of love for humanity towards him to remind him that he’s worthy of love regardless of his current status,” she explained.
According to her, the shopping trip and outing were motivated by compassion rather than a personal relationship.
On Standards and Principles
The actress further emphasized her relationship values, stating that she believes in respect, submission, and loyalty — qualities she says must be earned.
“I am a principled woman, and I believe in respect, submission, and loyalty, and a man can only earn these qualities when he’s a provider,” she added.
She concluded by addressing ongoing rumours about her relationship status:
“Please stop spreading wrong narratives. I am single and currently NOT searching. Y’all should let me breathe.”
Mixed Reactions Online
The clarification has sparked renewed debate across social media. While some users applauded her for being transparent about her intentions and standards, others criticized aspects of her wording, particularly her comments about dating “low.”
The incident highlights how viral acts of generosity can quickly morph into speculative relationship narratives — especially when celebrities are involved.
For now, Sarah Martins maintains that the gesture was purely charitable and that she remains single, asking the public to respect her boundaries.
