A Nigerian woman living in the U.K. has shared a video on X, where she narrated how she ended a relationship with a white man who asked her to split the bill on their first date. She said she was shocked and offended by his request, which she considered rude and ungentlemanly.
According to her, she agreed to go out with him for dinner and drinks. She said she had high expectations of him, as she believed white men were more romantic and generous than Nigerian men. However, she was disappointed when the waiter brought the bill and the man suggested they should pay for their own orders.
She said she felt insulted and humiliated by his action, as she had never experienced such a thing in Nigeria, where men usually pay for the whole bill on dates. She said she paid her part of the bill to avoid embarrassment. She also said she ignored his calls and messages, as she had lost interest in him.
The video has sparked a lot of reactions from social media users, who have different opinions on the issue of bill splitting. Some people supported the woman and said the man was cheap and disrespectful, while others criticised her and said she was entitled and gold-digging.
