Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw recently became a trending topic after reacting to a viral video in which a young girl said she would prefer dating a fraudster, or "Yahoo boy," over a working-class man.



On October 31, 2024, Henshaw commented on the video, warning that such choices could lead to dangerous consequences, possibly even being used for rituals. "Na so dem go take pieces you for ritual... Yeye mindset," she wrote, voicing her disapproval.


Her comment sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some users agreed with Henshaw’s stance on the dangers of glorifying "Yahoo boys," others accused her of being insensitive and seemed to interpret her words as justifying femicide. One X user questioned her, "This is so wrong to say. How is murder justifiable?" In response, Henshaw explained that the young girl’s statements reflected her values, saying, "That’s the value she placed on herself with her words and actions... That’s the green light she has put on but that's OK with you."


The exchange continued, with some users feeling Henshaw missed an opportunity to positively influence young girls, calling her response "harmful" and "disappointing." Henshaw replied, pushing back against these criticisms, questioning why the girl would choose that mindset when there are other examples to follow.


The conversation has spurred wider discussions online about the portrayal of risky relationships in Nigerian youth culture, the responsibilities of public figures like Henshaw, and the ongoing issue of societal values around financial success.
