Don’t Settle For An Unemployed Woman – Chike Shares Mum’s Advice On Marriage 

Nigerian singer Chike Ezekpeazu has opened up on the kind of partner his mother advised him to choose.

Abia Radio News reports that the Nakupenda crooner revealed that her guidance shaped how he now approaches relationships and marriage.

During an appearance on Ada’s Room podcast, the 33-year-old music star said his mother warned him to be careful about the kind of woman he settles down with.

According to him, she made it clear that love alone should not be the only factor when choosing a life partner, as other important issues must be considered.

He explained that his mother advised him to avoid marrying a woman who does not have a means of income.

In her view, being with someone who lacks financial independence could create pressure and affect the stability of the home.

She also warned against marrying from a poor background where family members may depend heavily on the couple for support, as this could become a burden over time.

Chike further shared that his mother cautioned him about entering relationships with women who already carry heavy family responsibilities, especially if they are not in a position to contribute financially.

He said this kind of situation could place extra strain on a marriage.

The singer admitted that these lessons have influenced how he now relates with women.

He revealed that he pays close attention to a woman’s background and lifestyle before taking things further.

For him, it is important to know if a potential partner is hardworking and comes from a stable environment before considering a serious relationship.

He also advised men to look beyond physical attraction when choosing a partner.

According to him, anyone thinking about marriage should consider long-term factors such as stability, responsibility, and shared values, rather than focusing only on temporary feelings.

He said, “I think everybody should look for a partner who has value. Personally, my mum advised me never to settle down with a woman who doesn’t have a source of livelihood, regardless of love.

“She also told me never to marry someone with the baggage of family responsibilities, especially a firstborn that is not productive.”
