Nigerian singer Chike says people should choose partners who contribute meaningfully to their lives and households.
In a recent interview, Chike shared advice his mother gave him growing up.
“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, don’t you ever do it,” he said.
Chike emphasized that a partner should be productive and avoid bringing extra burdens. “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.”
He illustrated his point with an example. “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,” he explained.
