Social media personality Dr. Ella has sparked widespread debate online after sharing her views on women who ask men to cover certain expenses before agreeing to a date.
In a post that has since gained attention across social media platforms, Dr. Ella criticised the practice of requesting transport fare, new outfits or other financial support before meeting a potential partner.
According to her, such requests reflect poorly on those making them and should not be normalised in modern dating.
She said: “I hope all ladies know that asking a man for transport fare to come on a date, asking for dress and all that is crass and crude behaviour. You are not homeless. You are not Almajiri. Have some shame.”
Her remarks have triggered mixed reactions, with many social media users weighing in on the expectations surrounding dating and financial responsibility.

While some agreed with her stance, arguing that adults should be able to pay for their own transport and personal items, others disagreed, insisting that there is nothing wrong with a man choosing to support a woman financially if he is willing to do so.
The post has reignited conversations about gender roles, dating culture and the growing trend of transactional relationships, where financial assistance is sometimes seen as a prerequisite for romance.
