Orpelin:
Don't marry a man that can not take care of your financial needs,"

This statement, to me, is relative. Financial needs has levels. For a low-income woman, financial needs does not include buying the latest camry or travelling to dubai for shopping.

^so where does the complementary role of a woman comes in now as regards finances in Nigeria of today?

@Op, you made a type there saying "who recently got married to another man's husband". Abi her husband na gay?

@topic, different strokes for different folks. That's her own unique view of the essence of marriage, and she is entitled to her thoughts!

Leave matter for Mathias abegi!

I'm in between with this argument, I believe women should marry men who are financially stable(not necessarily rich but it doesn't hurt), God fearing man and are educated. so they can take care of the wife and children but that doesn't mean the woman shouldn't bring anything to the table as well. However I don't agree with women marrying for superficial things and are just vain about it.

As a woman though I see nothing wrong in women requesting men's financial status because lets be real many men have some requirements and superficial qualities from women too. I have seen men that put pressure on women when it comes to their body from their breast, butt, weight, skin shade and etc. It goes both ways.

Lastly I must add that some of the most powerful & richest men in the world started from humble beginnings and came from poor and middle class backgrounds, who were educated(ex. Steve Jobs(creator and owner of APPLE), and etc). So some women should caution also because if you see a man with potential, progressive, middle class and has all the qualities you want in a man and he loves you, embrace it because many women fight for that and you never know what these men will become a decade or two from now.
