Nigerian singer and songwriter, Chike Osebuka, says he has no plans to get married at the moment, describing marriage as a “stupid step.”

The 32-year-old artiste, known for his soulful and love-themed songs, made the remark during an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

When asked when he was getting married, he replied that he does not consider marriage a priority.

“In my personal opinion, in fact, I think it’s a stupid step to get married, that’s my opinion,” he said.
Chike, popular for his romantic ballads, also revealed that his happiness is tied to financial stability.

“For me to be happy, to be honest, I need a lot of money.

“This is not even canal, I won’t lie to you, I like money. I want money,” he added.

Reflecting on his career journey, he said he never envisioned making a living from music until after his university education.

“I would say maybe right after my university, I knew music is what I’ll do for a living.

“I won’t say I knew before, to be honest, because I just used to sing and disturb everybody around me,” Chike said.

The singer recounted moments of financial struggle in his early career when he had to take acting jobs to survive.

“It was a tough part, I even had to start acting for like two years,” he said.

On finding success, Chike disclosed that his mother once asked him if he had joined a cult.

He also shared his disappointment with some friends who failed to support him when he needed funds to stage a show.


Chike said, “I remenber one time when I was about to do my show, and how much does the entire show cost, I think N400,000, if not less. because a lot of things were favours.

“And I called the friends I used to hang out with and drink with and, I mean, not, I’m not a drinker, but people I have fun with, and I knew the answer was no.

“But I just thought that I deserved the respect of telling me that, oh, you don’t have it, or you can’t do it now, or, oh man, I just, I flat out don’t have it.

“And with some of them, they just stopped picking my calls, you know, they just stopped.

“And it was, you know, a female friend of mine still that I went to, and for the first time, you know.

“At least I was comfortable around her enough to let out a couple of emotions, and I remember I actually cried that day.

“And she just looked at me, and she was like, Chike, don’t worry, I’ll give you the money, just go and concentrate.

“And that was, that’s how I got the money, literally gave me the money.”

Chike began his music career in 2015 following his participation in Project Fame.

He was the first runner-up on The Voice of Nigeria in 2016 and went on to release Fancy, his debut single, later that same year.

Having no plans for marriage and not considering marriage a necessary commitment for himself is not a problem. He can even decide to be a Rev. Father.

But generalising the view is a problem. Was the marriage of his parents a stupid step or was he born outside wedlock?

It's clearly stated there were he said "for him"...

Meaning he wasn't generalizing!

He also added "Marriage is not for me. "My happiness depends on my financial stability”

Make una dey take am easy!

I support chike on this one...

Since financially stable and independent ladies choose not to do relationship or begin to raise their shoulders when they are in a relationship,the same thing should also apply to the male gender as well

At least,it's good to know now that madness doesn't belong to only one gender

Sharp. I believe we share the same views and I salute his courage for speaking his truth.

My own parents dey put pressure on me to do the needful since I got a job, have an apartment etc but looking at the big picture and thinking sustainability I know I'm not even close.

Couldn't speak my truth cause I know they fit get BP being the only son.

You can have healthy, intimate relationship without marriage . Most people married because of societal expectations

He has made an error, his fans are teaming pro marriage women

And be keeps singing live song, mtcheew. E be like say na gaybriel him be, whatever the case may be it's his choice, his life.

Did Chike use these exact words?
He is not one to speak anyhow, but if he did, he should know how to say some things in a professional manner given he performs mostly for newly weds.

Anyway, I love how the comments here are supportive. Let's keep this energy when it is a woman. Thank you.

The data speaks for itself.

Those who want to, let them. Those who don't, stop pressuring them.

“In my personal opinion, I think it’s a stupid step to get married. That’s my opinion.”


Chike’s statements reflect a growing sentiment among young Nigerians who are increasingly questioning traditional institutions, including marriage, in favor of personal freedom and financial independence.

Chike’s Views Spark Mixed Reactions

No shock here. Broke people have endless opinions.

Wetin really dey marriage these days? Since good moral are now going into extinction in the society, marriage is no longer what it used to be. If not for children,me sef for no bother at all. The heart of ladies these days is so wic ked

Whatever you choose to do with your life is your business; why you felt the need to put out this information is what I don’t understand.

i no blame the young man.... i guess he must have been married before

Do what's good for you and what gives you peace of mind.

COMRADES, well, I may agree with Chike, because when I hinted my GM (a white man man) that I wanted to get married and he asked me...do you want to lose your freedom?

But of the truth, the only thing a rich man benefits from marriage is actually nothing.


Marriage benefits women more than men in reality. Most men are in marriage just because of having a heir or lineage continuation under wedlock

He gay!

This kind talk shock me .

Just imagine

He will soon blame himself like the other musician that spoke out recently.

Having a beautiful family is a blessing.

But your songs are mainly for weddings. How do you justify that?

That's why he started with "in my personal opinion"

In ten years from now, it will likely be another tune.😂

😂 Asin ehn the matter tire me oh.
Even 40 characters no fit reason this matter enough seun

That his choice and I don’t expect people to have sleepless nights over this.

Honestly speaking marriage is not favouring men and women are aware of it that's why they are the ones chasing marriage like a trophy. 99.99% of them are ready for marriage nd the only thing they have is pussy in between their legs. Why are men not going to shilo to pray for wives, y are men not crying over failed relationship?
