Nigerian singer Chike has shared a personal lesson he learned from his mother about choosing a life partner.
Speaking during a recent interview, the artiste revealed that his mother often cautions him against getting into a relationship with someone who is not productive or contributing positively to her surroundings.
According to him, she believes a partner should already be focused on her own pursuits. Otherwise, he explained, the man may end up taking on excessive responsibilities that should not be his to bear.
His words …
“I think everyone should look for a partner that adds value. I personally, my mom has said this thing to me several times that no matter how the love is doing you, no settle with woman wey no get wetin she dey do. She has told me that before that don’t you ever do it. Like I know you as my kid, number one and number two I know women. It’s not someone that is pretending to be doing something. Not that they’d open shop in Lekki but you’re the one paying rent every year.
No matter how you care about that person, if they are not productively adding to the production, environment, don do it. Worse off is if they also have the baggage of family, don’t do it. Cause you know it’s not all of us that are coming from comfortable places.
Maybe you meet an Ada, and she’s the one taking care of her whole family and she’s not productive, you have inherited the family…”
