Nollywood actress Mary Remmy Njoku has questioned what people would call 17 men who, she said, enjoy the wealth of a successful man while being described as his “boys”, instead of being labelled gold diggers.

Njoku raised the issue in a social media post while reacting to the way women are often judged for benefiting from the generosity of wealthy men.

“If benefiting from a wealthy person’s generosity makes a woman a gold digger, what exactly do we call the 17 men eating his food, wearing what he bought, enjoying his money and calling themselves his boys?” she asked.

The actress gave the example of a man identified as Emeka, who she said returned home after becoming successful and had 17 grown men constantly around him.
