Kenyan media personality and influencer Gloria Ntazola has once again stirred conversation online after openly declaring that there’s a shortage of wealthy men in Nairobi, adding that women are now “fighting over the few who have money.”

Her candid remarks, which have quickly gone viral, shed light on the realities of dating and relationships in Kenya’s capital  a city where love and lifestyle often collide.

“Wanaume Wako na Pesa Nairobi ni Kidogo”

In a recent online conversation, Gloria expressed frustration over the competitive nature of modern dating, saying:

“Sai tunangangania wanaume wako na pesa Nairobi. Relax, kila mtu atafikiwa. Wanaume wako na pesa Nairobi ni kidogo.”

Gloria went on to explain that while many women have set high standards for potential partners, the pool of financially stable men is small, creating tension and rivalry in the dating scene.

Reactions from Fans and Celebrities

Gloria’s statement quickly spread across social media platforms, attracting mixed reactions. Some fans agreed with her observation, noting that the Nairobi dating scene has become increasingly transactional, with money often influencing romantic choices.

Others criticised her for fuelling stereotypes, arguing that genuine love and connection should come before money.

“She’s just being real — Nairobi relationships are expensive!” one fan commented on TikTok.

“Money shouldn’t be the main thing, but she’s not lying,” another added.

Dating in the Capital: A Tough Balance

Gloria’s viral comments reflect a broader sentiment about dating in Nairobi, where financial stability and lifestyle often determine compatibility.

Many young professionals admit that maintaining relationships in the city can be difficult due to economic pressure, social comparison, and the influence of social media.

Relationship experts have also noted that urban dating has evolved — with success and security becoming just as important as affection and trust.

Gloria’s Broader Message

Beyond the humour, Gloria’s remarks seem to carry a deeper message — a call for self-awareness and patience in relationships.

By saying “relax, kila mtu atafikiwa,” she encouraged her followers to stop competing and instead focus on personal growth and self-worth while waiting for the right partner.
