Majority of Nigerian women are more desperate to marry than Nigerian men.
In fact, majority of Igbo parents send their daughters to school to increase their material value more for marriage than careers.
The higher standards of education you have, the higher bride price and greater matrimonial status.
You are exposed to more men who are the potential suitors. Whereas the first and foremost priority of majority of Nigerian men is to be successful in their careers to increase their purchasing power to afford a good accommodation, a good car/SUV and a good wife or trophy girlfriend.
Many Nigerian men are still single, because they are yet to achieve this priority and there are not many choices of good women or trophy girlfriends to marry in Nigeria. Because, Nigerian men have been relegating majority of Nigerian women to the background and have ended up with more liabilities of millions of Nigerian girls and women who live at the mercy of men.
Nigerian women have their dreams and God has given everyone a unique purpose in life to fulfill your destiny. Therefore, do not let any Nigerian man make you give up your dreams to make a positive impact in your community and our society.
Any man who loves you will help you to succeed from the bedroom to the top of the boardroom.
Stephanie Okereke is a Nigerian actress who is fulfilling her noble dreams to make Nigeria better and greater.
We need more female CEOs than baby factories in Nigeria.
God made you to be more of a helpmate than bed mate.
Use your brains to excel and not your loins.
Amy Dubois Barnett is a leading African American woman fulfilling her American Dream as the Editor-in-Chief of the popular EBONY magazine.
A senior Nigerian banker was dating a very beautiful Nollywood actress from Akwa Ibom and said that he would prefer her to give up her acting career and goal to be a software engineer and be his wife with a supermarket. I advised her to dump him and she did. Then the other man told me that he would persuade her to stop acting to prevent her from being tempted and lured away by randy Nollywood actors and other big guys.
You see the inferiority complex behind the egos of these Nigerian men?
Nigerian men would prefer their women to end up eating from their hands to the women being independent.
Nigerian men feel better when they can show off their status symbols of posh cars or SUVs, luxury apartments and seven-digit salary positions to Nigerian girls and ladies, but get goose pimples and jittery when the Nigerian women are equally upwardly mobile top executives you cannot bluff.
Igbo men in particular feel reluctant to date big girls with big pay checks.
With majority of Nigerian men lording over Nigerian women, Nigeria will never advance in social, economic or technological civilization.
Dump any dumb Nigerian man who cannot stand your dreams and who does not want you to LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW!
Narrow minded Nigerian men have been responsible for the underdevelopment of Nigerian women.
When my father retired, my great mother, Gladys Eke started working for the Lagos State Government to make sure that the family fared well and my father supported her. She was there with me on the high table when I launched my first book when I was 25 and encouraged me until the day she died. That is why I have called her the Mother of my genius. She was the one who taught me the art of story telling that has taken me places since age 13 when I won the first prize in the popular Pop magazine national essay competition on what we like best about Nigeria.
So, my success is the fulfillment of the dreams of my mother of blessed memory.
Nigerian women must never give up their noble dreams to achieve their intellectual and professional goals no matter what any man offers them to do so.
Look at the positive couple Stephanie Okereke and Linus Idahosa!
They are the best tag team in Nollywood and making great impact in the nation building of a New Nigeria.
Stephanie Okereke and Linus Idahosa!
If your man cannot stand by you to chase and fulfill your dreams, then he is not worthy of being your man. But your servant!
