Nigerian singer Aituaje Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has shared her views on the kind of man she would consider for marriage.
The 45-year-old artist revealed during an episode of The Honest Bunch podcast that she cannot date or marry a man who is struggling financially.
Explaining her stance, the mother of one said she is no longer in her 20s and therefore lacks the time and patience to “grow together” with a partner.
She said, “I can’t marry someone who is not successful, and here’s why: first of all, I’m not in my 20s so we are not growing together.
“A man leads, he leads by selling aspirations to me. I have to aspire to see him lead. And if he can’t inspire me to grow, we can’t be partners. So, success is part of it. Faith and emotional intelligence are also part of it.”
Speaking further, Waje stated that she cannot be in a relationship with a younger man, noting that such a relationship would not work because of her personality.
She added, “We will have issues. I’m very pragmatic. Sometimes I have to hold myself with my siblings, my friends, and my family members. Imagine if it was a husband? He would get tired. I will be treating him like my child. He would hate me.”
