Nollywood actor Jim Iyke, has addressed his gender, explaining the difference between being involved in a sexual exchange, and being in a relationship.

The movie star shared a recent post on his Instagram page, declaring that once it always involves monetary exchange in the process of meeting their partner; it is prostitution, and defeats the purpose of being in a relationship.

He wrote:
"If it costs you money every time you see her, that’s prostitution, not a relationship."

Jim Iyke's post emanates from the recent conversation on social media about the expectations of women in a relationship, particularly on the emphasis on financial obligations from their partners, which has led to strong debates from men on social media.
