His networth around 15million -20 million dollars not 50million as he earn 70k dollars per month meanwhile Mariah networth is 550 million dollars. Can u see the huge gap? If you are doubting my info, Google is there.

...but he isn't entirely poor. I don't think he was a perfect example either. Mariah carey is older than him with a decade, she had a headstart_ if that's a 'pardonable excuse'.

I believe rich women just want a man with prospects, charisma and good self esteem. They also don't wanna be misunderstood, I could do something now and get away with it, but if I happened to earn more than my hubby_ doing same thing would be tantamount to pride.
Anyone could be proud, rich/poor.

We went for a wedding in 2012, the bride was a BO in a bank and the groom was a contract staff. So many people were calling the guy a gold digger, while my hubby and friends maintained that THEM NO FIT!
I asked them, you no fit do wetin
Y'see, it boils down to mindset. The Nigerian mentality...

@OP, our men insecurities is the main problem. How many poor or average guys can boldly walk up to Linda Ikeji and ask for her hand in marriage. In a country where a man's self-esteem/worth is hinged on the amount of money he has? Many men are intimidated by rich single women because they feel they have nothing to offer her and this is mostly true when you think in terms of material things alone. You will be surprised that such ladies may not be after a wealthy man, they just want an intelligent man, with self-confidence, who will love and value them.

Donpressman:
Not true bro. His networth was very low when Mariah Carey married him. His networth increased after their marriage and his total concentration on his career(which is what is increasing his worth) is the reason their marriage became frosty. And even at his $50 million worth now Mariah Carey is worth 10 times. so relatively he his poor! so Whats ur point?

denedene:
op you are right but if the situation is too hard na to go kenya, South Africa, cape verde or any other country to find wife

A very good observation.

A good majority of the so-called well-off Nigeria ladies are into nursing which gets them about $100k/year. Is that a lot of money? No. But coming from Nigeria, it is. They want a man who earns something similar or more. A lot of Nigeria single males when their incomes go up tend to gravitate towards foreigners. Perhaps, in areas like Atlanta or Houston with a large congregation of blacks per square mile, they may marry fellow blacks. But in fast paced metropolis like NY or southern California, the chance of marrying a foreigner is higher. It could be fellow African but not necessarily Nigerian. Who wants to deal with all the in-laws feeling of entitlement BS?

Coming to Nigeria, there are many factors at play. Nigerians love class--Either you belong or you don't. The ladies are scared of gold-diggers. I will not rule out that some of them may be "closet lesbians". Really? Well, rate of lesbianism in secondary school level alone is very alarming. But the society will make them remain closet lesbians for fear of ostracization. I always have the opinion that the greatest obstacle to marriage for Linda Ikeji will be her siblings. A suitor has to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he is not there to block their access to the infringe benefits they get from her. Otherwise, nobody will be good enough for her until she turns around and she is 50.

Here comes the disclaimer: I could be wrong.

wristbangle:


No its not because even the richest entertainer in Nigeria (P square) networth is around 7million dollars but consider the gap bro, how many Nigerian lady with the status of Mariah will stoop low to marry nick cannon? Perhaps they will be looking for a way to marry p.diddy or snatch Jay Z from beyounce

What is this @ the bolded? Orisirisi . See as I dey laff 4 inside bus. May God bless our hustle.

Nigerian men suffer from low self esteem even more than the women as they claim,always wanting their women to be below them.If a Nigerian man should marry a richer woman,they would complain that she is proud even when she is the humblest of all creatures.That is why most wealthy women steer clear from less wealthy man to avoid these troubles

Nnemuka:
Cant you guys let Nigerian girls be?
Honestly we dont care what you guys say, if it isnt working out the way you want with nigerian girls pls let them be.

Op i think d'problem comes from d'guys and our myopic,archaic societal vaalues whose states dat A man must d'wealty one.Most naija guys are intimidated by rich ladies,even on threads here,some guys feel guys should not go after rich ladies.When a man goes after rich ladies,he is a either a gold digger or gigolo,Naija guys got alot of problems wit them:date a rich babe no ,then they go fter broke ladies and start complainig she is only after my money ,for crying out wat do u wat her to be after wen she is a broke bitch?We need change in our beliefs on relationship

The guy quickly left d place leaving d wife there in annoyance.
