EXTRA: Nigerian women behind dollar crisis, Fayose’s brother claims

Isaac Fayose, the brother of Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti state, has claimed that women are the major cause of the dollar crisis in Nigeria.

The Nigerian currency has been on a free fall in the past months, trading at N1,435 to a dollar at the official section of the foreign exchange — as of February 2.

Fayose, who spoke during a recent interview with Arise TV, argued that Nigerian women are to be blamed for the dollar crisis because they now demand foreign currency from their men.

He claimed that most Nigerian men in their late 40s are yet to be married because women nowadays have adopted the “no money, no honey” principle.

He also called on President Bola Tinubu’s government to start collecting taxes from women who undergo Brazilian B**t Lift (BBL) and tummy tuck surgeries.

“When you look around and see the situation, you can see a lot of single ladies in Nigeria and when you look around the world, it is not like that. They say God is love, how did we arrive here?” he asked.

“No money, no honey. That is so bad, even the guys in Nigeria right now are marrying at the age of 45, 46, 50. I am 51 and I am already a grandfather because my son is 25, he grew up in the UK where money is not the issue, love is the issue.

“The women are now the ones killing all our brothers and uncles because you do not have money. Prostate cancer is on the rise, now you see all of them doing stomach, doing b****m, I have told President Tinubu that we have to start taxing them because they are the ones keeping the dollar.

“You see the dollar crisis we have now when you go out and meet a girl, she will not ask you for naira again, she will ask you for dollars. They are the ones causing dollar crisis in Nigeria. Right now as we speak with you, you can see how the country is going.

“I have a friend who said he is getting married at 46. I said at 46 I already had five children, what are you waiting for? He asked who would answer him if he did not have money. You can see what they are doing to us, I am not saying you should not take care of your wife, but they should take it easy on us. It is getting too high.”
