(Nigerian) a wealthy man who dates much younger women and spends money on them
What does "aristo" mean in Nigerian slang?
In Nigerian slang, "aristo" refers to a wealthy, often older man who engages in relationships with much younger women, typically providing money, gifts, or financial support in exchange for companionship. It is used in informal Nigerian English and youth culture, especially in conversations about transactional or status-based relationships. The term became popular in urban Nigerian slang and campus culture, where it is often associated with "sugar daddy" dynamics. It is a shortened adaptation of "aristocrat," used ironically to describe someone who lives a wealthy, privileged lifestyle and uses that status in relationships.
