Nigerian comedian and actor, Isaac Olayiwola, popularly known as Layi Wasabi, has revealed why he doesn’t believe in the concept of “girlfriend.”

Appearing on the recent episode of ‘Is This Seat Taken?’ podcast hosted by actress Chinasa Anukam, Layi explained that he prefers “partnership” to the word “girlfriend.”

He said, “I don’t believe in the concept of a girlfriend. I believe in partnership. I don’t believe in that phase of girlfriends. I start with courtship. I have to see the wife in the person from the beginning.”

The host, Chinasa, inferred, “That speaks a level of focus. That’s fine.”

Wasabi also disclosed that he has only been on dates four times.

The skit maker said his ideal partner is a tall woman, emphasising that height is the first thing he notices in women.
