Foremost Nigerian actress Mary Njoku has posed a question to men about their love of labelling women as gold diggers.
According to the movie actress, she stated that women are called gold diggers for benefiting from a wealthy man’s generosity and asked what those men who benefit from such women are called.

The mother of three said people gravitate toward value in both men and women, but there is a double standard.
She said, “If benefiting from a wealthy person’s generosity makes a woman a gold digger, what exactly do we call the 17 men eating his food, wearing what he bought, enjoying his money, and calling themselves his boys?
The truth is, people gravitate towards value. Men do it. Women do it. Friends do it. Relatives do it. Employees do it. Everyone wants to be close to something that makes life better.
The double standard isn’t that people love money.
It’s that when men benefit from proximity to wealth, we give the behaviour a respectable name. When women do the same thing, we give it a dirty one.
Everyone loves gold.
The difference is in what we choose to call the people standing close to it.”
