“As a first daughter, do not marry a struggling man” – Lady
A Nigerian lady has shared strong opinions about marriage choices, financial status, and family obligations.
In a viral video, the lady argued that first daughters from financially struggling families should not prioritize love when choosing a partner.
According to her, such women carry significant responsibility for their families and should focus on marrying someone financially stable to secure a better future for themselves and their younger siblings.
She questioned the example a financially unstable marriage would set for younger family members and suggested that personal sacrifices are sometimes necessary due to family circumstances.
The woman also extended her views to men, stating that first sons who rise from poor backgrounds to financial success should avoid marrying partners who are not economically stable.
She maintained that people who have struggled and later made it should choose spouses who match their financial status.
Her words …
“As a first daughter from a struggling background, you have no business to marry for love. I know say broke boys go quarrel, they go vex. It’s not a normal thing for a woman, not a normal thing. So I really don’t give a fuss if you get pissed about what I just said. If you are a senior daughter, you have no business marrying for love. Chase the bag. Know who get the bag. Know who you go chase marry. When you get younger ones wey they look up to you. You want marry boy wey dey do vulcanizer? Wetin you want to make your younger ones marry. And also as a first son, If you are married from a family that is struggling and you later made it, never in your life settle for an hungry girl or settle for a broke girl. Am I clear? You should marry somebody that is as rich as you. You have no business getting married to a poor girl as a fair son. You know, I don’t even need to talk. Your mama will do the work. Don’t worry…”
