Popular Nigerian actor Williams Uchemba has spoken out against women who make extravagant demands from men, attributing such behavior to why many ladies remain single. In a post on his official Facebook page, Uchemba addressed what he sees as a growing entitlement mentality among some women in this generation.
He stated, “Ladies listen, there is a law that says anything you cannot afford do not request it in a restaurant.” He continued to criticize the trend, pointing out that it has become widespread and problematic. “There is a mentality that is creeping in most women in this generation and this is the reason you say there is no husband. I don’t think you have any business requesting things that you can never get to afford in your wildest dreams even if you work for 10 years from a man.”
Uchemba went on to describe this mindset as a “spirit of greed,” warning that it could prevent some women from finding lasting relationships. “There are some of you that will end up not getting married until you deal with it. Because no man will want to put you in his house. It has become a pandemic where most women now think it is normal to make crazy requests. What you need to understand is that any man who likes you genuinely will spend on you.”
He specifically called out the demands for luxury items like G Wagons and the latest iPhones, questioning the rationale behind such requests. “Why are you asking for a G wagon, iPhone 15 from a man when you know you cannot afford it? It is a spirit of greed. It has everything to do with some elements of Jezebelian spirit, no man will put you in the house until you deal with it.”

Uchemba also emphasized the importance of character over material demands in relationships. He explained the difference between appealing and requesting, suggesting that women who appeal to their partners rather than make demands are more likely to succeed in relationships. “When a wife wants to ask for something, she does not request it, she appeals to the husband. There is nothing wrong in appealing but those women who think it is their right have a problem.”
In his final remarks, Uchemba urged women to focus on their character rather than relying on physical attributes to keep a man. “That is why you see people you think you are better than getting married and you are wondering. They got married because they have character. Or do you think it is your body that keeps a man? Dey play. That thing you think keeps a man is temporary. Wait until you give birth. Do not place value on those, place value on your character.”
