Lagos – Reality TV star and entertainer, Hazel Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has decried the rising financial expectations in dating in Nigeria, humorously asking fans for a “referral code” to help him find a compatible partner.
The 34-year-old Big Brother Naija Season Six winner shared his frustration in a video posted on his Instagram page, @whitemoney_, on Sunday.
“I can’t even lie, I’m getting old. Dating culture in Nigeria is becoming something else.
“Abeg, where them dey see better woman now? Una get referral code?
“Any small thing, billing. Small hello, billing. How are you? Billing,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the light-hearted remark sparked reactions online.
While some fans agreed that dating has become more difficult, others suggested the singer was simply looking in the wrong places.
A fan, @paulwains, wrote: “This is me few mins ago man. Not just in Nigeria, dating culture in the world messed up man.”
Another, @kaluukanwa, said: “Better woman full everywhere, even in this Lagos, but sadly they aren’t your spec.”
@vickyblinks_1 also teased the entertainer, saying: “E dey but una dey find una fellow celebrity.”
NAN reports that Whitemoney, who turned 34 on June 6, rose to fame after winning the sixth season of Big Brother Naija in 2021 and has remained active in entertainment and music.
