Kampala, Uganda – Ugandan TikTok influencer Sheila Price has set social media abuzz after revealing what she considers a major red flag in relationships—a phrase she calls the “Abaana Bange” code used by men.
In a candid media chat, Sheila shared an experience where a man professed his love for her, telling her she was the perfect woman to mother his children. However, the conversation took an unsettling turn when the man hinted that if something were to happen to him, she would have to take full responsibility for his children.
For Sheila, this was not a romantic gesture but rather a warning sign.
Sheila explained that the “Abaana Bange” phrase (which translates to “my children”) is often a tactic men use to:
- Emotionally trap women into a long-term commitment before proving their loyalty.
- Shift responsibility for their children onto a potential partner.
- Test a woman’s willingness to play a motherly role prematurely.
“Instead of feeling trusted, I felt like I was being set up to be a single mom,” Sheila stated.
Her revelation sparked a heated debate online, with many women sharing similar experiences. Some supported her stance, while others argued that the phrase could also mean a man sees a serious future with his partner.
Regardless, Sheila made it clear: Any man who starts talking about ‘Abaana Bange’ too soon is a red flag, and she will always walk away.
