Former Big Brother Naija star Tochi has ignited heated debate on social media following his controversial claim that being a boyfriend is now more financially demanding than being a husband.
The outspoken reality star made the statement in a post shared on his Instastory on Friday, May 9, writing:
“It’s more expensive now to be a boyfriend than a husband.”
The remark quickly went viral, triggering a wave of reactions across platforms. While some users supported his perspective—citing the growing expectations in dating culture—others dismissed it as a sweeping generalisation.
Critics argued that the comment oversimplifies the financial and emotional realities of marriage, especially in today’s economy.
Tochi, known for weighing in on modern relationship dynamics, has not yet responded to the backlash.
