Single woman offers N3.9m to anyone who gets her husband
A single woman who is tired of being alone is offering money to anyone who finds her a husband.
Eve Tilley-Coulson, 35, is a Los Angeles-based corporate litigation attorney.
“A while ago, I told my friends I’d pay them $5,000 if they introduced me to my husband,” she told The Washington Post. “And I figured, why not open up the offer to TikTok?”
So, in June, the blond went viral with her matchmaking request, promising her over 100,000 TikTok followers: “If you introduce me to my husband, and I marry him, I will give you $5,000.”

The eye-catching proposal received over 556,000 views — and between 20 and 25 internet introductions to potential life partners via novice marriage brokers, according to Tilley-Couslon.
“I haven’t gone on any dates yet,” Tilley-Couslon explained, adding that the majority of her mediators have been women who saw her eye-catching proposition on social media, “However, people are very motivated to help,” she said.
“I’ve been single for about five years now, meeting people in person and on the apps,” she explained. “But since COVID, there’s been a weird shift in dating culture — guys don’t approach you in person, and most of the men on apps aren’t swiping to seriously date.
“So I feel like paying $5,000 for a husband who’s vouched for, meets my needs and is ready for a real relationship is totally worth it,” said Tilley-Coulson with a laugh.

Her post on TikTok read, “@ebtilley #stitch with @Dear Media I have never been more serious. I’m tired of being told, “its so easy.” Set me up 🤑🤍 #setup #firstdate #friendship #meetcute #bff #bet”
“You get [the $5,000] as soon as the marriage certificate is signed,” said Tilley-Coulson in a subsequent TikTok clip featuring her friend Lara Bahr.
“My perfect guy is the perfect wedding date: he can take a shot with my brother, dance with my grandma, he knows how to work the room but also comes back to check on me,” Tilley-Coulson explained. “He’s a very well-rounded chameleon.”
Tilley-Coulson is confident in her technique, despite the fact that a few virtual trolls have labelled her “desperate” for providing a $5,000 husband commission.
“I stand by it,” she told The Washington Post. “Hey, if you can help me meet him, the money is all yours.”
