Why Are Nigerians scared of marrying a more successful lady? Can you marry one?

Why Are Nigerians scared of marrying a more successful lady? Can you marry one?

Can you marry a more successful lady? Is there any condition attached?

 

Its baffles me when I see a very successful lady in her late thirties still in the league of singles and searching (even leading on the league table with a wide margin of point) with almost no date or proposal forthcoming. Based on my observation I think it’s more prevalent in our society and I begin to wonder if it’s a crime for a lady to be successful or dare to be.

IT’S BECAUSE OF THE ILLITERACY LEVEL OF OUR MEN

I could remember a conversion I had with a successful Nigerian man who is having a great career in the banking industry, in our discourse he told me without mincing words that he can never marry a lady that is more successful than he is even the lady is his last option, and I was like (perhaps this guy has married one in the world before if there is anything like that) so it’s not a case of the illiteracy level in our society because he is a chartered accountant and almost rounding up his second Masters degree. 

Some men back their believe in a lie that men are naturally meant to be the head of the house so in any situation that the woman is wealthier or more famous that the marriage will never work because it means that they are two captains in the ship.

IT’S BECAUSE MOST WEALTHY LADIES ARE NOT READY TO DATE AN AVERAGE GUY

Though this assertion may want to seem true because of what we are meant to believe that at every point in time in our life time we always want to look up instead of looking down for the things we want. The very successful rich lady if you confides in her will tell you that she is ready to accept a guy that may not be wealthy but he should at least have a career he is pursuing or want to pursue but she will tell you that she hasn’t seen any forthcoming.

THEY ARE NEVER SUBMISSIVE AND WILL NEVER BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF

You find out that people that have not tried an endeavour or a venture tends to give you a thousand and one reasons why it will fail when compared to those that actually try. You can’t tell me that every successful lady have this attribute and that’s the major reason why they remain unmarried. The best gift is not a function of the price but a function of what it means to the receiver. Even a bracelet that is not expensive but was given in connection to what matters to a lady will forever remain the best gift she has received.

So what’s the problem? Why is it that the very successful ladies in our society remain unmarried?

What’s the condition that will make you marry a very successful lady? Someone once told me that she must not be the type that will be leaving for business meetings week in week out and must be ready to do what every wife do at home when it comes to house chores and… what’s yours if there’s any
