- The woman claims she later refunded ₦450,000, not just the original amount.
- She expressed frustration over public judgment and accused others of filming her in court.
- The case has sparked debate over online dating, financial expectations, and consent.
The Nigerian woman at the center of a trending courtroom video has finally broken her silence, offering her side of the story after being sued by a man she met online.
In a self-recorded video, she explained that Emmanuel — the man who dragged her to court — was someone she had never met in person. Their connection began online, and according to her, Emmanuel insisted she travel from Asaba to Abuja to visit him. She refused, suggesting he come to her city instead.
Despite her refusal, Emmanuel allegedly sent her ₦50,000 as transport fare. She claims the amount was insufficient for the trip and that she never agreed to travel. After she didn’t show up, she says Emmanuel and his friends began threatening her over the money.
The woman also revealed that she later offered to refund the ₦50,000, but Emmanuel rejected the offer and became angry. In a surprising twist, she claims she eventually paid back ₦450,000 — far more than the original amount — yet the online narrative continues to focus on the initial figure.
She expressed frustration over the public backlash, questioning why women are often blamed regardless of their choices. She also accused individuals of secretly filming her in court despite an alleged order prohibiting recordings.
Her response comes amid growing online debate about digital relationships, financial boundaries, and the ethics of sending money to strangers.
