A Nigerian man has stirred up heated debate on social media with a viral video in which he advises men to avoid dating women who work as POS attendants, fuel attendants, or salesgirls. In the video shared on his TikTok account, he argues that these women, in his view, lack the qualities necessary to contribute meaningfully to a relationship, and therefore should not be considered as potential partners.
The man, who identifies as a technician, openly criticized these professions, claiming that women in these roles offer little beyond their jobs, which he believes do not provide a solid foundation for a successful relationship. He specifically warned his peers, especially those with professional careers or ambitions, to steer clear of POS attendants, stating, “Any girl who is a POS attendant and does nothing else but this, don’t date.”

He further expressed his concerns about the financial disparity between himself, or other men handling significant responsibilities, and women who earn minimal wages in these jobs. His remarks about salesgirls and fuel attendants, who earn what he perceives as insufficient salaries, further fueled the controversy. According to him, the low income of these women makes it difficult for them to contribute meaningfully in relationships.
The video quickly went viral, sparking a mix of reactions across social media. While some supported the man’s view, arguing that financial stability is important in relationships, others criticized him for being elitist and judgmental, pointing out that people from all walks of life should be valued for more than just their income or profession. As the debate rages on, the man’s video has ignited discussions about expectations in relationships and the value of individuals based on their careers.
