Media personality Tomama drops a bold take on how society rushes to slander women whose source of wealth remains unknown
Dat Warri Girl, the outspoken media personality and content creator widely known as Tomama, has once again refused to keep quiet — and honestly? We are here for every single word.
In a viral video that has been making the rounds on Nigerian social media, Tomama came for the necks of people who cannot see a woman living well without immediately screaming “ashawo!” or assuming she is doing runs to sustain her lifestyle.
The Message Was Simple — And She Delivered It Without Apology
Tomama’s argument was sharp and direct: women today are out here moving smart, building businesses, running scams, executing deals, and securing bags through means that have absolutely nothing to do with their bodies — yet the moment a woman cannot easily explain her income, society’s first instinct is to reduce her to prostitution.
“Women are committing better crimes and you people are reducing them to just prostitution,” she said bluntly, making it clear that the lazy assumption says more about the accuser than the woman being accused.
Why This Hits Different for Nigerian Women
Let’s be honest — this conversation is long overdue in Nigeria.
We live in a society where a young man can drive a brand new Benz and people will nod approvingly, calling him a “sharp guy” or a “hustler.” But let a woman park the same car in front of her compound, and suddenly the entire neighbourhood convenes a meeting to discuss her character.
The double standard is exhausting, and Tomama called it out with the kind of Warri energy that does not stutter.
From female tech entrepreneurs to traders, crypto investors, content creators, and yes — even those who may be on the wrong side of the law — the point remains: women are multidimensional, and reducing their financial success to their sexuality is both lazy and deeply misogynistic.
The Internet Had Plenty to Say
As expected, the video sparked massive debate online. While many women flooded the comments section with fire emojis and “she said what she said” energy, others pushed back — with some arguing that Tomama’s framing glorified criminal behaviour.
But supporters maintained that her core message was valid: stop assuming every successful woman is selling her body.
Bottom Line
Whether you agree with her delivery or not, Tomama has once again sparked a necessary conversation about how Nigerian society polices women’s wealth, success, and freedom.
The question she is really asking is simple: Why is a woman’s hustle always suspicious, but a man’s never questioned?
And until we can answer that honestly, the conversation is not going anywhere.
