Veteran Nollywood actor, Yemi Ayebo aka Yemi My Lover says Nigerian ladies of these days like money too much and are not ready to stay with any man that does not have it.

He said this while speaking on his reason for marrying late.

The actor said that he did not intentionally choose to marry when he was almost 40 but finances played a major role.

Asked if being rich was part of the conditions for a man to be ready for marriage, Yemi My Lover answered in the affirmative.

“Very important. Ladies these days are not ready to stay with a man that does not have money. They like money too much and if you don’t have sufficient money, they won’t stay with you,” he told The Punch.

Asked how much a man should have before considering marriage, Yemi My Lover said, “As a man, the first step is to get an apartment in a conducive environment.

“A man cannot get married while still living with his parents or friends. He should have an apartment, either rented or built.

“He should also have a good job that will be fetching him money. Women usually believe that all their responsibilities are on you as the man and they will make financial demands from you and the moment you can’t meet up with the demands, you start having problems in your relationship. If they demand just N1,000 recharge card from you and you can’t afford it, the issue of double dating will start because they will start giving attention to other men.

“Once a man has a good job and money, huge money, even if he drives the woman away, she will not go. Even if the man is the ugliest guy on earth, as long as he has money, women will be running after him. If you don’t have money, forget about it.”
