Reality TV star and businesswoman Mercy Eke has revealed that she is no longer willing to date men who earn less than she does.
Speaking about her expectations in a relationship, the Big Brother Naija winner said her past experiences of financially supporting partners have changed her perspective on love.
“I can’t date a man who earns less than I do. I’ve supported a lot of men financially, and I’m no longer interested in dating based on potential. I want someone who is already established,” she said.
According to Mercy, she has moved past the stage of building relationships around future possibilities and now prefers a partner who is already financially successful and secure.
Her comments have since generated reactions online, with many social media users weighing in on her views about finances and modern relationships.
