That is the reason I would love to marry a ghanian girl they are very simple,humble,down to earth,loving and cAring most of them are faithful unlike our nigeria girls waiting for a sweet rich guy,or a posh house @ lekki.majority of our nigeria girls with dat rich syndrome mentality suck can never marry a nijah girls,but if I would, I will rather go for the girl dat grow up in d village and give her a sound education not dis city girl lookin for fried chicken and burger waitin to dry ur fat account till u get broke in d name fake love!

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.

The nice family gatherings and other social events...everyday some idi.ot is complaining about buying BIS and airtime, what makes u think u will be able to keep up wit what ur wife's family is used to angry so u think those wealthy families want u to bring ur rural mothers to their gatherings angry spoil everything for them and embarrass them in front of our pple in their social class

tpacalipse: Yeah she dey try. I like her post too. But the most annoying thing about marrying frm these poor background is that most of the time, the entire family tend to depend on u for a lot of things. And if care is not taken, they will run u down.
But my dear, av learnt one very important thing in life, givers NEVER lack (humble givers, actuali). So yea, sum families can be a pain in the a**, but do what u capable of Aπϑ leave the rest

boy please, are u alright in the brain department, lmaoo, infact just dont generalize... the village girls could be worse, and it has nothing to do with the individual's location, but the person itself and their upbringing, you might find rich humble girls, and the truth is most girls that come from money are usually very humble, its usually those that their parent comes into "new money" that have big head and do the am a rich posh this etc, and sometimes some just fake being well off. I know a lot of girls that play am a rich girl in lagos when their papa and mama live for village and no fit get three sq meal. so dont generalize, it could cost u a good woman, an u never know she might be rich----with love 4 ya smiley

U dnt have 2 be d world's richest man to be my husband. Just make sure u can send my children to d best schools n give them d best in life
This mentality is boggling. it depends on what u term as the 'best'. why should you wait for a man that will give your children the 'best'? why can't you look for a man you can give your kids the best together? are the kids not yours too? and we will cry foul when the men maltreat us. He who pays the piper dictates the tune.

love doesn't put food on the table but lack of love doesn't let you eat food on the table. Have you ever wondered why it's women always running from one church to another b'cos of their marriages? it's b'cos 80% of them married for the wrong reasons! so a husband is your ticket to good life... why don't you use the brain God gave you to think about making your life better? God has deposited something in everyone to make them succeed. what if you marry the comfortable man and things turn about tomorrow? i rather marry a poor man who loves me than marry a comfortable man who doesn't! i crave for things i can't give myself in my husband so we can be complement one another! i can't hug myself, make love to myself, watch my back, support myself etc but i can make tons of money, buy myself cars/houses/clothes/shoes, send my kids to d best schools, travel round the world etc!

Pinkyshron: ohhhh am so sorry...but how come u dont undastand shorthand wen ur name is written in shorthand...

My username isn't in shorthand; it's a funkified version of my name. So, I don't see any shorthand in that. Moreover, shorthands are reduced words of much bigger words; so in respect to my username, it's much longer than my actual name.

My point is: please let your comments be readable and easily comprehensible to other readers. Remember, it's not only the young ones who surf nairaland, even elderly ones do and also foreigners.

It's not everyone who understands your style of writing; please leave assumption aside and type correctly.

Thank you for your time.

tpacalipse: In most cases, the major problems marrying these poor ladies are their parents, especially their mothers. They specifically make the daughters understand that they shud not bring home a man who will not cater for the whole family. Damn! It is irritating.


You are right my dear, but they forgot that they are poor people also, if every girl should be waiting for rich men which means that marriages will stop in Nigeria, because rich men are not many like poor men. Any lady who looks at your physical appearance, financial, and background before accepting your marriage proposal is never your wife. This is a big mistake our men do nowadays that crash their marriages in few days. When you get your real wife, she will never listen to her poor family. Man should help his in-laws but not on the threat and discomfort of his own family.
