Popular Nigerian singer Aituaje Iruobe, has confidently stated that she cannot entertain a financially unstable man because she is too old to start with.

“I can’t marry someone who is not successful, and here’s why: first of all, I’m not in my 20s, so we are not growing together,” she said on The Honest Bunch podcast.

The 45-year-old singer further stated, "A man leads; he leads by selling aspirations to me. I have to aspire to see him lead. And if he can’t inspire me to grow, we can’t be partners. So, success is part of it. Faith and emotional intelligence are also part of it.”

Adding to her reasons for her stance on marrying, Waje explained that she is pessimistic about their peace and sanity in the future if she considers spending the rest of her life with a poor man.

“We will have issues. I’m very pragmatic. Sometimes I have to hold myself with my siblings, my friends, and my family members. Imagine if it was a husband? He would get tired. I would be treating him like my child. He would hate me,” she added.

Ghanaian actress, Habiba Sinare, gave straightforward advice to men facing financial difficulties: prioritize self-improvement over pursuing romantic relationships.

In a recent live video on TikTok, she emphasized that men who are struggling financially should not engage with women who are in similar circumstances.

Sinare's message was clear: "As a broke guy who cannot afford the basic needs of life food, clothing, shelter why are you in a relationship? Make sure you become the man you want to be, and when you make it, don’t sit at the same table with broke girls."

Her advice encourages men to focus on achieving financial stability before seeking romantic connections.

She suggests that instead of chasing women, they should channel their energy into improving their financial situation and becoming self-sufficient.

Sinare also highlighted the importance of surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals, recommending that once men achieve financial freedom, they should seek out women who share their ambition and work ethic.

This perspective underscores the value of personal development and responsible decision-making, resonating with those navigating similar challenges in their lives.

Expressing her perspective, Ashmusy asserted, "It's your choice, even if you are small, broke, or rich, and you want to set a standard that you want to date a man that drives a car or has houses, you have the right to set the standard. You are the prize as a woman, so it's your choice."She concluded by emphasizing that being the prize allows women to decide who they want in a relationship.
