Popular comedian and skit maker Shank Comics has set social media ablaze after playfully comparing Nigerian men to their UK counterparts in a recent viral post.
In his humorous take, Shank claimed that Nigerian men are generally wealthier and more generous with their spending, especially at clubs, while UK men tend to be more cautious with money.
“We Nigerian boys are richer than UK boys. Naija boys buy bottles in the club, but UK boys do 10 guys to one bottle,” he joked.
He also teased that UK-based ladies often travel to Nigeria during festive periods, hinting that their motive is “to collect money, not to spend it.”
The comments quickly stirred reactions online, dividing fans over whether his post was simply harmless banter or an unnecessary generalization.
While some Nigerians agreed with his lighthearted take, suggesting that UK men are typically more frugal, others argued that Shank was ignoring the realities of living costs abroad.
One user wrote, “Shank no lie jare. Naija boys like to show off; UK boys just dey calculate money.”
Another countered, “Abeg, it’s not stinginess. UK life no be beans, nobody go buy bottles anyhow.”
As usual, Shank’s playful humor has reignited a lively debate online — proving once again that even jokes can spark serious conversations in the digital space.
