Nigerian social media is on fire, and the name on everyone’s lips is Asherkine. Known as a philanthropist and media personality, Asherkine has once again caught national attention but this time, it’s not just for giving back to the society. He’s trending after reportedly spending over 10 million naira on a date with a University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) student named Becky.
The story exploded online after Becky claimed she had never been in a relationship before, prompting many to question her motive and sincerity. Was she genuinely innocent, or did she just know the perfect words to win over one of Nigeria’s most generous public figures?
Asherkine has long been respected for his acts of kindness, often going out of his way to help students, widows, and struggling entrepreneurs. But this gesture stands out—lavish, romantic and very public. Supporters praise his actions, saying it’s his money and he can choose to spend it how he wishes. Others argue that Becky might have played the emotional card a little too well.
Critics are skeptical about Becky’s claims. In today’s world, where going viral can lead to fame, endorsements and brand deals, some wonder if her “never been in a relationship” line was strategic. It’s a classic example of how emotions and influence intersect on the internet. Did she win his heart with honesty, or was it a smart PR move to get attention?
Asherkine’s name is being mentioned across blogs, YouTube channels and Twitter trends. Becky, too, has gained massive attention, with people digging into her past and online presence.
At the heart of this trending tale is a young man who has used his platform to bless lives—and a girl whose story might be either pure or perfectly crafted. The truth may eventually come out, but for now, one thing is clear: Asherkine remains the man of the moment. And whether you believe Becky or not, their story has given Nigerians something to talk about, once again showing that in the age of the internet, even a date can become national news.
