Nollywood actress Nancy Iheme has sparked controversy after responding to a 40-year-old man who expressed his feelings to her. The man had asked her out, but Nancy replied, saying he can’t afford her and suggested he look for someone else.
Media personality Awesome Chidiebere, also known as Deacon Famous, criticized Nancy’s response, pointing out that she is in her 30s and still being selective about who she dates. He called her a “valuable asset” and implied that she should be more open-minded.
Nancy Iheme responded to the criticism, saying, “I said what I said. Comments don’t get to me because I don’t care. 40 years with red flags everywhere. Oga, you can’t afford me. Period.”
Her response has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some defending her right to choose who she dates, while others criticize her for being too selective.
Some comments from fans include:
@last_born_goody: “I will say it again! He who founded a girlfriend in Nigeria, automatically adopted and orphan.”
@princess_starrrrrrrrrr: “Does it mean people are no longer entitled to their opinion? You people should let her be. Her life, her choice.”
@sonita_the_virtuous_girl: “Politely saying I’m not interested would have been much better and respectful. There’s no age tag to a relationship; anyone can find love at any age in life.”
@ksolo_hitz: “The question is, what is that thing in you that makes you think someone can’t afford you? Sometimes una dey overhype una self.”
@pearlsempire2024: “But she’s entitled to her own opinion and life. She knows what she wants. She’s in her 30’s; it doesn’t mean she should settle for less.”
@ade.s.uwa: “Exactly what you should’ve said!! Not you can’t afford me. English is not hard.”
