Social media has been buzzing after a Nigerian woman, who openly described herself as an ashewo (sex worker), appeared on a dating show in search of a God-fearing man who could help her leave her current lifestyle behind.
The surprising moment was captured in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @Olamide0fficial, who documented how the woman bravely introduced herself.
In her own words, she declared before the men on the show:
“I am an ashewo, I am not saying that I am not an ashewo. I am looking for someone to change me.”
Her honesty stunned both the audience and the contestants. While some men appeared uncomfortable, one participant quickly responded:
“I am a God-fearing man but I don’t need you.”
The video quickly spread across social platforms, sparking heated debates:
Some praised her honesty and willingness to seek change.
Others criticized her for expecting a man to “fix” her rather than making the decision herself.
A few pointed out the deeper issues of poverty, survival, and redemption that drive many women into sex work.
One commenter wrote:
“At least she’s being honest. That’s better than some people who pretend.”
Another said:
“Change starts with you. No man can save you if you don’t want to be saved.”
