Man Fires Back at Lady Who Said She Wants Intelligent Men, Accuses Women of Hypocrisy

• A Nigerian man sparked reactions online after replying to a lady who said she loves intelligent men.

• The man accused women of only romanticizing intelligence, claiming that back in university, many of them had intelligent male friends but chose to date other types of guys instead.

• His blunt response stirred debate about women’s true preferences in relationships.

A viral exchange on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked heated conversations about relationships, intelligence, and the realities of dating preferences.

It began when a user, Maira (@maira4yo), posted: “I love intelligent men. Like yes, advise me. Yes, proofread my work. Yes, teach me 😭😭.”

Her admiration for intellectual partners quickly drew a sharp response from another user, Taiwo Majeks (@TaiwoMajeks), who challenged the sincerity of such claims. He wrote: “You people romanticize the idea of being with intelligent men but you don’t really want them. Many of us were your friends in uni but we knew the guys you ended up dating. If you don’t get out of my face now.”

The blunt reply has since gone viral, amassing over 231,000 views, with many users debating whether women truly prioritize intelligence in relationships or if they are more often drawn to other qualities.

In other news….A Nigerian TikTok user has shared a troubling video from an unnamed Arab country, claiming her employer confiscated her passport and refuses to let her leave.

In the clip, the young woman who said she relocated for a housekeeping job explained that she feels trapped because local restrictions make escape nearly impossible. She broke down in tears despite vowing to stay composed, revealing that even after offering to pay for her flight home, her boss demanded she complete a two-year contract before the passport would be returned.

The migrant worker urged Nigerians to reconsider travelling abroad for quick cash, warning that the job is far more exhausting and dangerous than it appears. “Don’t lose your soul chasing money,” she cautioned, repeatedly saying she felt “tired” and “weak,” yet unable to flee.

Her account highlighted long-standing concerns about migrant labour exploitation, such as withheld travel documents and limited freedom of movement.

The video quickly spread across social media, drawing widespread outrage. Many commenters likened her ordeal to modern-day slavery and called for stronger protections for overseas workers.
