"I only date wealthy guys because they are sakawa" – woman says to Uber driver who has her heart.

A Nigerian woman in her early 20s publicly stated that she only dates internet scammers, sometimes referred to as "Sakawa or Yahoo Boys," because they can support her financially. Her stunning admission has sparked discussion and raised eyebrows.

 The young woman made her preferences clear during a blind date when she scornfully turned down an Uber driver who expressed interest in her. She claims that the Uber driver's monthly pay, which is just over GHC 1,700, is insufficient to live up to her high standards. She boasted about how expensive her wig was—GHC 1,426—and implied that guys with lower salaries couldn't take good care of her. 

The woman's mindset is indicative of a developing tendency in contemporary dating, when choosing a partner is heavily influenced by material belongings and financial status. It draws attention to a change in the dynamics of dating, when some women value financial success over compatibility or emotional ties.

There are a number of cultural elements that contribute to the emergence of materialistic dating, such as the growing impact of social media, the propagation of materialistic values via popular culture, and economic inequality. People are exposed to material things and glitzy lifestyles in the era of social media, which makes them want to aspire to live up to such ideals.
