Fam, listen well well. Many of us dey manage person wey suppose don waka since. These 7 red flags don scatter lives, marriages, and bank accounts from Lagos to Kano. If you see even 2 inside your relationship — no manage am.

Tagline: Real life. Real talk. No sugarcoating.

✍️ Samson Ese — Since 2016 I don counsel over 600 people wey fall victim to these same red flags. Many don lose ₦5m–₦30m because dem no see the signs early. This post na the warning wey go save your life.

Last month for Ajah, one sister wey dey my community marry man wey get 4 out of these 7 red flags. Today she don sell her car to pay debt wey the man carry come. She still dey cry for my DM every night.

For Abuja, my guy ignore say him babe mama dey live with them. After wedding, mama turn the house to her own. My guy don turn tenant for him own house.

Let me be honest — I used to think love go blind me. Until I see person wey ignore these signs end up inside court for 2025.

Many Nigerians dey see these signs but love don blind them

1. Him/Her No Get ₦50k Savings After 2 Years of Working

If person dey earn ₦250k monthly and no get ₦50k savings — na poverty wey get PhD. Tomorrow school fees, hospital bill, rent — who go pay?

2. Ex Still Dey House or Get Key

If ex still dey sleep for parlor or get duplicate key — you be visitor for your own relationship. Run!

3. Always Broke on 28th of Every Month

Salary wey no reach 28th no fit reach marriage. Na debt partner you get.

4. Mama or Sibling Dey Pick Him/Her Call

If mama dey answer “My husband” or “My wife” when you call — you be side chick/main chick wey no know.

5. Never Post You But Dey Post Everything Else

Food, shoes, friends — everything dey Instagram. But you never appear. You be secret relationship.

6. Get Secret Phone or WhatsApp Business

Two phones or WhatsApp Business wey you never see — na second family dey there.

7. Always Get “Emergency” When Bill Reach

Rent, school fees, hospital — suddenly “I no get money”. But iPhone 16 don dey hand. Na user.

Key Takeaways 👇

• ✅ See 2 red flags? Pause
• ✅ See 3 or more? Run!
• ✅ Love no blind person wey open eye
• ✅ Better cry now than cry later
