Lady who recently splashed millions on a new Mercedes Benz has come forward to debunk viral claims suggesting that a man bought the car for her. The lady, known as @dinma_x on X (formerly Twitter), took to the platform to proudly show off her new car, a Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG trim, which she bought herself. The post was a celebration of her achievement, as she shared photos of herself posing in front of the car.
In the caption, she wrote, "I Bought my first car đź©·," expressing her joy at her accomplishment. However, her post attracted skepticism from some social media users. One netizen questioned how she could afford such a luxurious car, suggesting that a wealthy man or "chief" might have bought it for her.
@Odsonfx, a commenter, said: “Can an average Nigerian woman afford a car? Not even a Toyota but a Mercedes, this chiefs spend money on unnecessary things.” The comment sparked a response from the lady, who was quick to address the claim and set the record straight. She revealed that she had diligently saved up N200K every day to afford the car, emphasizing her hard work and financial discipline.Â
She wrote, “Since I posted a picture of the car I bought, I have not rested from inferior men. I saved 200k daily to be able to afford that 🤣. But some people think a man just closed eye and bought it for me. I pray y’all heal 🩷. I WILL DRINK YOUR TEARS!”
Reactions from social media users followed quickly after her post
One user, @JimmyHope_, humorously remarked, “Wig business must be really lucrative. Perhaps it’s time to leave web3 and start selling wigs.” The comment seemed to poke fun at the lady's source of income, with a suggestion to switch professions.Â
Other commenters were curious about how she could manage to save such a large amount daily. @GidSergent commented, “Saving 200k daily how? From which job?” and @mind_talkss remarked, “200k a day? Doing what? There are only a few professions that give you access to that kind of paper unless you are spending clitocurrency.” These responses pointed to the challenges of believing that anyone could save such an amount without a high-paying job or alternative sources of income.
On the other hand, @lifeinsolace shared a deeper perspective, saying, “A lot of Nigerian men are insecure about successful women. We all know there’s OS epidemic in Nigeria, but resist the urge to attach every success of a woman to a hidden male sponsor somewhere.” This comment highlighted a broader societal issue of assuming that successful women’s achievements are often tied to the financial backing of men, rather than their own hard work.
