5 Reasons Nigerians Are Asking for Influencer Saida Boj’s Head

Influencer Saida Boj has continued to trend following her controversial statements during the “Honest Bunch” podcast. Hosted by Nedu Wazobia, along with Ezinne and Husband Material, the episode saw the hosts wearing puzzled expressions as Saida defended her provocative statements. 

She openly discussed her past relationship with a married man in 2023, expressing regret not because of the relationship itself, but because she ended up financially unrewarded. Moving forward, she declared her intention to adopt a “money mindset” in dating. This revelation has led to severe backlash on social media, resulting in Instagram and TikTok banning her pages, which boasted over 1.2 million followers.

Here are the five controversial statements made by Saida Boj that have enraged many Nigerians:

Men are cheap, not scarce

Saida stated on the podcast that men are not scarce but cheap, citing the numerous men flooding her DMs as evidence.

Spend 20 million and go through my legs 

Saida provocatively declared that any man who spent up to 20 million naira on her could get into bed with her. This was her response to an interviewer’s direct question about her openness and if she would agree to be with a man who is ready to spend that much money on her. She happily answered yes.

Marriage is nothing, i’m happy when a woman divorces her husband

Expressing her views on marriage, Saida mentioned she is happy when a woman divorces, indicating that men are abundant and easily replaceable, thus diminishing the value of marriage. She explained why she feels positive about women divorcing their husbands, asserting that men are plentiful and not valuable. The media personality expressed her respect for women who choose divorce, suggesting they may have been unhappy in their marriages. She added that she could have done so years ago if she had wanted to marry, as men are not hard to find.

Men should pay me for being beautiful

She argued that men should compensate women for the effort and expense of maintaining their beauty.

Bill any man you meet instantly 

Saida advised women to bill a man within 24 hours of after contact has been exchanged to evaluate his financial capability, asserting that this practice prevents wasting time with men who are not financially supportive. Saida Boj discussed the importance of women evaluating a man’s financial stability early in a relationship. She advised that women should ask men for financial contributions within 24 hours of exchanging phone numbers, emphasizing that this practice helps to avoid wasting time with someone who may not be financially capable.

Erigga and Dat Warri Girl attacked her views

The controversy escalated further when Saida Boj attacked online comedian Dat Warri Girl and rapper Erigga, who had publicly disagreed with her views. Saida clashed with Dat Warri Girl over her comments on the podcast, accusing her of interfering in her business and criticizing her methods.
