Nollywood actress, Sarah Martins, has finally spoken up over the rumours surrounding her recent outing with a dispatch rider who reportedly lost his job.

In what many saw as a kind gesture, the actress later went out on a date with the dispatch rider to ease tensions and show support. While some fans praised her for the move, others felt she went too far.
An influencer, Omoh Tee, publicly criticised Sarah, accusing her of bowing to pressure from misogynistic men online. In a lengthy post, she described the actress’s actions as “disgraceful” and warned that those supporting her now would not defend her in the future.
Reacting to the backlash and speculations that she had “submitted” herself to a relationship with the rider, Sarah made it clear that it was never that serious. According to her, it was a simple lunch date and not a relationship, as many suggested.
In an Instagram post, she explained that she only extended a hand of kindness to remind him that he is worthy of love regardless of his present situation.
Sarah also firmly stated that she does not “date low” and cannot fix any man to meet her standards. She added that she is a principled woman who believes in respect, submission and loyalty, but said those qualities must be earned by a man who is a provider.
She wrote partly:
"Let it be known that I did not say yes to a dispatch rider! I only extended my hands of love for humanity towards him to remind him that he's worthy of love regardless of his current status. I am not the type that dates low and l can not fix any man to fit into my standards "hell to the no" I am a principled woman."
She ended her message by urging naysayers to stop spreading false narratives, while making it clear that she is single and currently not searching.
