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.

u still dont believe what u just posted,u re still like all of them,u re no different,an unbeliever. i still see no changes

luvable sam: I called up a friend recently to tell him I was getting married, guess what he did.
He SCREAMED n then asked me who I was getting married to as follows;

HE: Who are her Parents, are they rich?
Me: Why are you asking?,
HIM: Just want to know cos if they aren't then you have messed up big time, seriously guy you no try .

I was shocked, though that's the harsh reality these days, no or very few guys want to marry girls from humble backgrounds.

Same goes for ladies too, if theirs even isn't more pronounced. Like a friend once said 'perceived ugly girls get married every weekend while the ones that think themselves beautiful buy "Aso ebi or anko" to attend such occasions hoping to meet Dangote's sons.

My question now is that what is happening to our value system, what's your take on everyone targeting the rich for marriage and who marries the average or seemingly poor?

YOU WETIN YOU WAN MARRY ? shocked shocked shocked

bukatyne: 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!

blink182: OP, your friend is just whack and nigerians do not marry rich people, your generalisation is annoying.

On nl, "some" = "all".

they just cannot make the distinction.

some nigerians do aim to marry into money by hook or by crook, but in a country where the poverty rate is over 50%, i'm not sure where they're seeing majority rich to marry.

unless they're counting aristos and the like.

or maybe given globalization, like i mentioned before.

Well trues values happen to be stories or folk tales of years before...
Its everywhere these days infact its staring me in the face as we speak.
#True story my neighbour finished from school, he had a gf and they both loved each other, he was job searching, she was about to finish from school. Then pressure was mounted on the girl, she is the first and her dad is dead.
She was pressured to dump my neighbour and was more like given out to some average dude with cash, at first it was all good n she was in new love cash flowing, as we speak she doesn't like her situation anymore, she is engaged, unhappy with cash and she has already been taken to where she swore a oath to her soon to be husband.
Money Rules the heart of Men so once money is involved the outcome don't surprise me

My advice to my fellow guys if a nigerian girl tell u She love u and allow u to also have sex with her,always tink twice and used ur head and not ur heart cos deliberately she has a mission and when she is dawn she would sent u her an unexpected quit notice.guys pls always used ur head and not ur heart when you are in a relationship with nigerian ladies.same goes to the lady also becareful of nigerian guys vice versa nigerian men and women are terrible.

I'll definately be a successful woman in future that's a decision I made right from wen I was a child.I'll neva b a burden to any man and no man will be a burden to me.Ma husband must be the breadwinner of the family...even though I have all the money in the world ma husband should be the one taking care of the family...what I'll do is to assist besides if a woman is the breadwinner of the family the man becomes lazy because he knows his wife will provide...so me being successful is not a problem that one is sure but when there will be a problem
is if my husband is lazy...I'll just use ma mouth to kill him

Marriage is a partnership. I never said you would be the breadwinner but you both must contribute financially to the home esp if you want him to contribute domestically. Love makes life worth living. when there is no love in your home, even if your husband provides everything @ home, put your kids in best schools, shop for you in Paris, shower you wit gifts and jewelry etc you will feel empty inside. A lot of rich people are so unhappy cos they didn't marry for love. Don'T let their smiles and carriage fool you, they hug their lonely pillows and cry every night.

The REALITY of it that NO ONE WANTS TO PARTNER WITH A LIABILITY. Rich or not, potential is IMPORTANT. Man or woman, getting married to a parasite with no ambition brings you down faster than you can think of.

For me, I can marry anybody - poor or rich; provided she is ambitious and willing to contribute in building the home and making the family works.

If a man marries a rich woman. Then he should be ready to kiss her ass! As men we should try to be independent. That is why I love d igbo tribe. Their men try to work hard to cater for d family needs. Most of d guys I now these days always think of marrying a lady from a rich home. That u marry from a rich home does not mean they will transfer d wealth to u. Come to think of it, these ur wife also have a brother who is available to take her parentS properties. Wwhat about your ego as a man. Men let uS brace up. By d grace of God we can make it lagbara olorun
