Survival of the fittest, in this day and age relationships are based on how much we can take from each other and no longer based on truth and honesty but deceit, at the end of the day I'd rather be with someone I see myself with as opposed to how much wealth he attains, which he could loose at any moment, and then what happens? personally, I want to be there when we're building our empire together.. Hehehe wink that's the best thing I can ever ask for, but sadly no one has patience these days..

Remember: he who findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtains favour from the gods... cool

mimifonwon: I would say be with whoever you feel will not cause you to die an early death and who respects you. whether rich or poor. lol.
I think in nigeria most girls are raised to marry for money not for love anything else. No matter the tribe. Now most men dont want to marry a girl from a poor family because he knows that most likely his wives people's money problem will be heaped on his head. Now some girls from the said humble family who marry rich men expect the men to help her family status rice and so forth, no matter how you look at it someone has to gain. One thing is that in a marriage of obvious wealth difference the one that has the most money is usually the one truely head over heels inlove, and the other person is just enjoying..And if money goes, love will go. Now you can understand why the rich prefer their children to marry within their social class wants one to keep the money amongst the elite, two to make sure there is more to the marriage than money. Most wealthy men who are ambitious and worked and made their own money and didnt get it handed to them usually looks for a woman that will push them and also one that is ambitious as him. There is a joke about marrying for love is for the poor, and the truth is , it really is, for the poor who marry eachother love endearingly. the rich who marry eachother are more committed and more driven to keep their family together, no matter what happens, to protect the wealth. Their similar goals are usually what keeps their marriage and of course the children. For the poor, its more of a believe that God will provide, and its sad they fail to notice that God helps those that help themselves. Whether you marry rich or poor, make sure you marry someone you can leave with till death do you part. Money goes, but what stays is the love,respect, friendship that are intangible and cannot be bought. Truth is when you truly love someone financial background or family status has no bearing... its actually an after thought for some. endures aTrue love ll. Rich or poor.
completely true<buh how many people today believe true love endures all?dats really a rare tot from a lady in this generation, WELLDONE

Rubbish!
So if a girl falls in love with a guy from a rich background she should dump him and go for a poor stuggling guy so that the marriage will last abi?

Arrant nonsense. My husband is from a very rich background and we met on my first day in the university of Lagos,Akoka. I was already head over heels in love with him before I discovered just how influential his family is. When I say influential,I mean big time old money.

We dated for five years and have been married for two years and I don't see thing that will pull us apart. We are still as tight as hand and glove.

I used myself as example because,money and riches do not decide who you love. Its the sincerity of your heart that matters.

Re: Why Do Nigerians Prefer To Marry The Rich? by Sweetlemon(f): 10:10pm On Dec 25, 2012
The point is that whether a girl marries for love or not. People will ALWAYS point accusing fingers @ her if her hubby is rich.
Iv dated broke guys, Iv loved men with only potentials in their pockets, Iv been with average guys, but where did it land me?
Now Iv met someone with cash who cares for me and treats me the way Iv only dreamed of. But some people say "she's a gold digger" like the mumus did not see me struggling with broke guys.
Bottom line is just follow your heart. If it leads you to a rich man/woman, as long as you know deep down that you truly love the person, go along with the flow, if it leads you to a struggling man, pls go ahead. You can never tell tomorrow. The only BUT is that the man MUST have potentials and a drive to succeed. But if the poor man has no ambition, goal or focus, my dear, prepare to remain poor for life because no miracle will better your condition #fact
Re: Why Do Nigerians Prefer To Marry The Rich? by GeneralGaricks: 10:12pm On Dec 25, 2012
vivian chinaza: I'm from a very humble background or should I say poor? Yea poor sounds like it, "humble" just makes it bearable, Lol, ok. But rich guys keep coming for me, and no one has ever cared about my family's financial/social status. In fact, that's the first thing I tell them, I'm always like "dear, don't let my looks deceive you, I'm from a very humble background o." I'm Vivian, and that should be enough!
So contrary to your opinion, majority of guys don't actually care.

A lot of ladies who have misplaced their priorities actually care about how rich a guy is before they consider him and I just pity them. I just hope they realize that the life of a man is a mystery. A man's life can change in a twinkle of an eye.

I'm friends with a lot of people who at one time couldn't even afford a decent meal, but just one phone call changed their lives for best, and vice versa.

Last year, I did a job for this couple that had no house. The groom is my friend and as at then the most valuable property he had was his laptop. In fact, when he told me he was getting married I was like "are u crazy?" Cos he didn't even have a house. Few weeks to the wedding someone gave them a room in his flat and they were squatting there. Whenever I went to the house to discuss their wedding I was always like "how could this girl get married to a man that doesn't have a house?" Honestly, I couldn't understand, I couldn't even think of myself doing it. Well, there marriage is a year old and they are now living in one of the beautifully furnished house I have ever seen.

Stories like this humble me, and I of all the things I have seen in my few years on earth, I have known that riches cannot be guaranteed. I have also known that life is a mystery.

So if you fall in love with someone from a rich background good, if you fall in love with someone from a humble background good too. Marrying a rich person is not a crime, marrying a poor person is not a crime either, provided that LOVE is the driving force.

Well said. Is this why you dont want to marry me

The reason why most of our nigeria girls are single even up to the age of 35 is that they are waiting for the rich guys,but they forget that the system and the economy of the country has affected a lot of things and tings doesn't seem to work that way anymore.some girls if u don't live in a posh house or drive an ,expensive car or u Don't have a good job,that means u are not meant for them.most girls dis days don't want to suffer with a guy,they don't want to even start from the scratch with a guy,they just want to hop in and start sucking fr d guy I mean the rich guy,dat y dey are alot of single ladies out they not yet married.hw I wish they change that mentality of theirs and appreciate the reality of life the better for them,before they get to menopause.

no, imo.

marrying a rich guy doesnt mean a marriage wont last.

however, if the partner isnt from a similar background, then they have to make adjustments for this fact, especially when relating with the rich side of the family.
