To better understand the story of the lady who revealed that a billionaire in Delta State showed interest in her when she was just about 17 years old, Legit.ng reached out to a relationship and marriage counselor and therapist.
Mr. Ogwuche Godwin is a Certified & Seasoned Marriage Counselor, Therapist, and Coach with 8 years of experience, and the Director of GoRu Marriage Academy.
Speaking about the emotional effect that such an encounter can have on a young girl, he shared:
"An encounter like that can leave a young girl feeling scared, confused, and overwhelmed. She may feel flattered by the attention, but at the same time intimidated because of the power and status of the person approaching her."
"It can also create emotional tension; part of her might feel special, while another part feels unsafe or unsure about how to respond. Experiences like this can affect her trust, confidence, and sense of boundaries in future relationships if she doesn’t have guidance and support."
When asked what makes young girls vulnerable in environments where wealthy older men are present, he explained:
"Young girls are especially vulnerable in spaces where wealthy older men are present because they are still developing emotionally and socially. At that age, they are learning about themselves, their self-worth, and how to navigate relationships. When a powerful adult gives attention, it can feel exciting and flattering, but it also creates a strong power imbalance. They may feel special at the moment, but they often don’t fully realize the risks or the potential for manipulation."
"Add to that the pressure of peer influence, curiosity, or the desire to be seen as attractive or important, and it can cloud judgment. Some girls might think, 'Wow, someone wealthy noticed me; maybe I must be doing something right,' without realizing that attention alone doesn’t equal genuine care or respect."
"The danger is that these experiences can leave lasting emotional marks: fear, confusion, and sometimes mistrust toward men or relationships later on. They may also struggle with setting boundaries because the encounter made them question what is acceptable attention and what is not."
"That’s why guidance, mentorship, and open conversations are so crucial. A young girl needs safe adults who can help her understand her value, recognize manipulation, and learn to protect herself emotionally. Without that, even a single encounter can shape how she views relationships for years to come."
Speaking about the warning signs girls should watch out for in similar settings, he shared:
"Girls should watch out for anyone who tries to make them feel special too quickly, especially if that person is much older or wealthier. Flattery, gifts, or attention that feels over-the-top can be a warning sign."
"Another red flag is when someone pushes boundaries, asks personal questions, or pressures them to meet privately. Girls should also pay attention if they feel uneasy, scared, or pressured; that gut feeling is important."

"Lastly, if the person tries to isolate them from friends, family, or trusted adults, that’s a major warning sign. In any situation like this, trust your instincts and seek guidance from a professional counselor."
On how parents can better prepare their daughters for situations like this, he advised:
"Parents need to prepare their daughters before they ever find themselves in these kinds of situations. The first thing is open communication. A girl who can talk freely with her parents is less likely to hide uncomfortable experiences. Parents should teach their daughters what 'too much attention' looks like, especially from older men, so they can recognize when something is not right."
"Secondly, parents should help their daughters build self-worth and confidence. A child who knows her value is harder to manipulate with gifts, money, or sweet words. Many girls fall for dangerous attention simply because nobody taught them their worth at home."
"Another important step is teaching boundaries. Daughters should learn how to politely but firmly say 'No,' how to walk away, and how to involve an adult if someone makes them uncomfortable. Parents should role-play real-life scenarios with them."
"Finally, parents must stay involved: know where their children go, the events they attend, and who they are with. It’s not being overprotective; it’s being present. Guidance, awareness, and trust between parents and daughters can prevent a lot of emotional harm later in life."
When asked what advice he would give to young girls who find themselves in such uncomfortable moments, he said:
"My honest advice to young ladies, and even young men, is this: Please don’t rush to marry someone who is far older than you. I’m talking about someone old enough to be your father or mother. It may look harmless, but in real life, it creates a fundamental imbalance, emotionally, mentally, and even relationally."
"Don’t walk by sight. Don’t walk by money. Money is good, but money is not everything. You can have money and still lose your peace, lose your joy, and lose yourself in the process."
"Before you think of marriage, be mature first: emotionally, psychologically, mentally, spiritually. Understand what marriage truly involves. When you marry someone within your age range, you stand a better chance of growing together, understanding each other, and building a balanced partnership."
"Please don’t let gifts, wealth, or lifestyle blind you. Peace of mind is priceless. So take your time, grow, understand yourself, and choose wisely. Marriage is not something you jump into because of excitement; it’s something you walk into with sense, maturity, and clarity."
