A Nigerian lady, simply identified as Abuke, has reportedly dumped her boyfriend, Markiss Lulu, for not engaging in internet fraud (known as “Yahoo”) to meet her financial demands.
The breakup, which Lulu detailed on his X handle, has drawn millions of impressions and a flurry of reactions, with many condemning the woman’s entitlement while others question the dynamics of their relationship
According to Lulu’s post on X, his ex-girlfriend pressured him to take up “Yahoo” to address their financial situation, even dismissing his personal dreams as “useless.”
Despite gifting her significant sums of money, including N200,000 from a N450,000 gift he received, her dissatisfaction persisted, culminating in the end of their relationship.
Sharing details of the incident on his X handle, Lulu asked if he was wrong or truly insecure to deserve such treatment from his ex-girlfriend.
Attaching the conversation between him and his girlfriend, He wrote: “I don’t know if I was wrong, if I was truly insecure, but I can’t get over this conversation with my ex earlier this yearI pray God comes through for me and heal me.
“Didn’t expect this to blow up, I can see all the words of encouragement and bashing.. I have learnt from my mistakes.And for those saying this is fake.. this was when I was admitted to the hospital few days after the break up and the voicenote she sent to me in the thread”.
The story has struck a nerve online, with X users weighing in on the incident.
@FaithElim
offered advice to Lulu, stating, “No woman with values will want her man doing yahoo, you should have pulled out when she suggested it. Your relationship was built on money from the start, it’s a good thing it has ended now. Focus on ur craft, use this as a lesson to dating ladies with morals and values.”
The entitlement displayed by Abike also drew sharp criticism. @simplysnipes
remarked, “wtf …this is entitlement on another level, does she think yahoo boys don’t go broke too? What happens to she being responsible and take responsibility for her own wants? I blame guys that make women like this a priority.”
Meanwhile, @tirimisyjr
didn’t hold back, stating, “Firstly, Markiss you dey craze. There were enough reasons to know she didn’t care about you, she was sick yet she went out. Advising you to do fraud is a enough red flag that she’s there for the money. You were gifted 450K, dashed her 200K and yet you have to convince her.”
The viral post has fueled a larger conversation about materialism, moral values, and the pressures some face to resort to illegal activities for financial gain. While some defend Lulu’s decision to stay true to his principles, others see his ex-girlfriend’s demands as symptomatic of a growing culture of entitlement among certain individuals.
As the debate rages on X, the story of Abike and Markiss Lulu serves as a cautionary tale about the intersection of love, money, and integrity in modern relationships.
