Why Do Nigerians Prefer To Marry The Rich? by ilotriouzAY(m): 3:07pm On Apr 10, 2015
I called up a friend recently to tell him I was getting married, guess what he did.

He SCREAMED n then asked me who I was getting married to as follows;

HE: Who are her Parents, are they rich?
Me: Why are you asking?,
HIM: Just want to know cos if they aren't then you have messed up big time, seriously guy you no try .

I was shocked, though that's the harsh reality these days, no or very few guys want to marry girls from humble backgrounds.

Same goes for ladies too, if theirs even isn't more pronounced. Like a friend once said 'perceived ugly girls get married every weekend while the ones that think themselves beautiful buy "Aso ebi or anko" to attend such occasions hoping to meet Dangote's sons.

My question now is that what is happening to our value system, what's your take on everyone targeting the rich for marriage and who marries the average or seemingly poor?

Over 100 million? Dude, where do you get your statistics from? Let me guess.. BBC? CNN? Those xenophobic ,self-serving hypocritic bigots!
.
When that suppose 'statistics' was published in the last decade, 1 dollar was exchanged at about 145 Naira.

Let me dissect it:

The average Nigerian eats twice a day.

Garri and rice are part of our staple foods.

You eat a plate of eba and soup in the the morning. If you'd purchased that meal, it probably would have cost you about #150 - #250 then.

In the evening you have rice for supper or maybe, just maybe, the same eba with the same price as the one above. Your total expenditure for daily meals would be about #400.

Add other expenses such as that for transportation e.t.c

You might not realize you really spend about #600 daily . Which is about 4 dollars. That was in the last decade. Our daily expenditure has increased of recent.


Now tell me why you still choose to believe the rubbish fed to you by the ex-colonialiists? Don't just get me started!

I'm certain you discerned the context of that quoted phrase, Falconey. Stop playing to the galley.

What I meant in essence was that the whites feed us with self-esteem-diminishing propaganda just to make us seem inferior to them and, hence, our continued subservience to them. Africans should refuse to be servile to the Caucasoid 'overlords'.
