“My mum has told me never to marry a woman who is not working” – Chike

Nigerian singer Chike has disclosed his stance on kind of woman, revealing that his mother urged him to desist from marrying a woman who is not productive.

Explaining his stance while appearing as a guest in a recent podcast, Chike revealed that his mother advised him against marrying a lady that is not productive.

According to him, it’s way more like a mistake if one marries a woman who doesn’t work because handling family will be one-sided. He added that
Marrying a lady who is not working reflects over the phase where responsibilities are overly attatched to the man.

Highlighting his stance, he compared the view of its progidy and vowed that he wouldn’t want to be in a situation where he has to carter for his wife family and inherit their responsibilities.

He finalized that before he gets emotionally attatched to a lady, she would ask about her family vocations before diving in because he wouldn’t want a situation where he would take on her family responsibilities.

His words:

“My mum has told me never to marry a woman who is not working. She said no matter how the love is doing me, I should never do it. If they are not productively adding to production then don’t do it.”

“Imagine you want to marry an Ada that she is the one taking care of her family and she is not all productive then you have inherited the whole family.”

“That’s why I ask how many siblings a girl has, what does her family do, your brother, your sister, cause truth me you don’t want moment your babe will be like please borrow me money I want to help my brother, that is a lot.”

Nigerians couldn’t hold their nerves and reacted massively according to their views.

“My mum has told me never to settle with a woman who is not working.”
