Politician, tech bro, or yahoo boy? Why some Nigerian women are avoiding 9–5 men

If you’ve scrolled through Nigerian Twitter (X) or TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the trend. A young woman dresses up for different “types” of men: the politician, the tech bro, the Yahoo boy, in sleek gowns, designer bags, and heels. But when it’s time to “dress for the 9–5 guy,” she throws on a wrapper, wears a bonnet, and looks intentionally unbothered.

The message is loud: 9–5 men aren’t worth the effort.
