Let me tell you something, I can get something going with a man much older than me. Why not? I'll give him a chance to show how caring and romantic he is. The only thing I won't do is marry him. Girls who marry men that age do it because of money. I could date him, that's all. And I don't think that there is any problem with that.

No way! I can't date any man that I can't show off to my friends. My friends would always want to know the man I'm dating. You want me to tell them I'm dating an old man? I don't date old men. They say love is blind. That's a lie. My own love has perfect sight. I personally believe in true love and there's no way I can love an old man.

It's an awkward thing to do. I'm not sure I can date a 50-year-old man for instance. I'm sure you know that people's taste for things changes. You might want to date a young guy today but change your mind, as you grow older. It could even be the other way round.

Of course, I can. As long as he is nice, I might consider him. When I say nice, I mean he has to have money to take care of me. Once he can do that, we kick-start things from there.

It depends whether the man we're talking about is ok or not. What I mean by ok is finding out if he's mature enough to take care of me. I'm sure you know his financial status is also a very important factor. As I said, if he is ok, I'll give him a chance. Marriage? If I love him, I'll marry him if he proposes.

I can't date any man old enough to be my father. He should be running after my mother's age mate and not me. My own love is not blind at all. How can I blend with an old man? We just can't be compatible. Some say that the older men get, the more caring they are. That's not true. Some simply get dumber as they grow older.

No matter the style he uses to try to catch me, I'll take him as a father. How can I date or marry an old man? I have a very strict age limit when it comes to dating men. I totally disagree with the popular belief that love is blind.

I can't fall in love with any man above 30 years. That isn't love. It's confusion. Any old man that's randy enough to fall in love with me will have to fall out of that same love. Love should be mutual, so if I don't love him, he's just deceiving himself.

Younger guys are more fun to be with. No matter how you look at it. I can't date any old man. Even if he offers me all the gold in this world, I'll turn my back on him. I don't like guys that are too old.

Forget it! I can't love. The moment the man is over 35, count me out. That's the maximum age for dating guys. The moment I look at the man and I feel he's old enough to be my dad, I'll show him the red card.

Imagine me and this man going out to have a nice time, we're probably eating in a restaurant and somebody I know walks up to ask me: ‘Is this your dad?' That will be embarrassing. I'll see that sort of man as a father because he's old enough to be one. Age matters to me, honestly.

Look, for me o, I'll just follow my heart especially if I'm not involved with any other guy. I don't double-date. I'm not cut out for it. But as I said, I'll follow my heart. That's what I always do in situations like that. If my heart says yes, I'll go for him. If my heart says no, I'll give him a big NO.

Don't call them Sugar daddies. They are Aristos. Look, I prefer them to all these small, small boys. They have a lot of advantages over the younger blood. For instance, there's always a regular flow of cash. You don't have to wait till the end of the month for money. With an Aristo, there's always credit on your phone because they know their responsibilities. In return, I'll give him anything he wants. If you date small boys, every time they'll be telling you ‘I love you, I love you'. Na love I go chop?

At best they'll squeeze N200 into your hand after spending time with the guy and you're about to go. But an Aristo will drive you home in his car even after stuffing your pocket with cash. That's the difference!

Where does the word ‘dignity' lie? I am asking you. Does it not exist again? Please, there is something called dignity. No matter the need for money, I've been in a big financial mess before and I never succumbed to any Sugar Daddy. It's not always about money; maybe I should let you know. I know some girls that do it, not necessarily for the money. Some of them are possessed and some just do it for the fun.

Not for me if he is still living with his wife. But if he is either a widower or a divorcee, I can date him. The fact is that the so-called sugar daddies know how to take care of a woman. He'll so pamper you and give you a sense of security. Yes, because of his circumstance, he would not want to stay without a woman again. That's why he gives you the best to keep you. Get me right, I am not saying every single girl should go and keep a sugar daddy. It is a matter of choice.

There's fame in it, among your friends and all. Sometimes you are in a financial stress and so you don't have a choice than to go out with them.

The term depends on the relationship you people have. When (a former beauty queen, names withheld) was dating (a former warlord, names also withheld), did she refer to him as her Sugar Daddy? So, it depends. For me, I prefer older men; I don't like small boys. I like older men because they understand me. I like people that are mature. The only thing the small boys can give is love while the older men supply both love and cash. Come to think of it, some older men are more caring. I think the basic attraction for 99 per cent of the ladies is money.

The small boys don't have the money that the older men have, so they can't even compete. For me, it's money, love can come later. I wouldn't say the Sugar Daddy would love me as much as the young boys but many of them are more caring and they actually have time for you. The younger ones still dey enjoy life. Before you know, dey don go find younger babe.

Aristos! They take care of girls. They give you money, buy you things and all. They settle well (laughter). They make you feel like a queen, make you feel like a real woman. That's the much I can tell you about them because my mama dey read Sun Newspaper sha.

Money! What else? There's nothing you get apart from money, any other thing is by the way and then you give back in return (laughter). Sugar Daddies pay cash. They treat you like their queen, and that is what younger guys can't afford. Theirs is to preach love all the time; give you excuses when you need money. For the sugar daddy, you can collect from him and still give him excuses for declining his dates and he won't bug your life. But let a young guy spend on you and when he wants to "nice up" you dare give him excuses. That's why they bathe some girls with acid. So you check, where are you safer?

I don't mind a sugar daddy, except that I am now off the shelf. I mean, I am engaged now. Everybody needs money because the Nigerian economy is bad. The money is there oh; age doesn't make any difference to me.

Ah! (Laughs) It's because of the money! That's the bottom line, it's everything now oh. Money is the basic thing sha. With money, you can get anything you want. Ah! the way you are looking at me, I'm not into it o!
