Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has triggered a massive debate on social media after sharing a controversial take on modern relationships.
In a post on his Instagram story that has gone viral, the actor wrote: “If it cost you money everytime you see her, that’s prostitution not a relationship.”
The blunt statement has divided netizens, with many accusing Iyke of being misogynistic — strongly prejudiced against women, while some supported his statement.
Critics argue the comment generalizes women and ignores the economic realities many couples face. Supporters, however, claim he is highlighting a growing trend where some relationships are allegedly built on financial benefits rather than love and mutual respect.
