Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has encouraged women not to feel ashamed about having high standards in relationships or making financial demands of their partners.

Speaking in a recent episode of The Moraya Show, Wright criticised what she described as men’s hypocrisy in tagging and shaming women who make demands or have high tastes as “gold diggers.”

According to her, there is nothing wrong with being a gold digger. She advised young ladies not to settle for anything less than gold.

The actress urged men to only go for women they can “afford” to avoid blackmailing other women, who make demands above their paychecks.

“I hate it when I hear men calling women Gold diggers. What do you expect her to dig before? I won’t advise any woman to dig anything less than gold.

“If you can not afford a woman, don’t go for it. Go for the one you can afford,” she said.

“I remember when I was growing up, we would not date our age mates because what can you offer?

“As a man, if you are dating somebody that her level is higher up, then you are in trouble. That is why I said cut your clothes according to your materials,” the actress added.
