Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has stirred conversation on social media after sharing his views on financial expectations in romantic relationships.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, the movie star said that if a man has to spend money every time he meets his partner, then such a relationship should not be regarded as genuine.
“If it costs you money every time you see her, that’s prostitution not a relationship,” he wrote.
His statement quickly generated mixed reactions online, with many users debating his choice of words.

“That’s a big red flag you will go broke and go into depression,” @Kwaba wrote.

“Not prostitution but a pure red flag,” RealQudzzy said.
