Chike added that his mother also advised him to avoid marrying a firstborn with heavy family responsibilities who is not financially productive, noting that such circumstances could create long-term pressure in a marriage.
“I think everybody should look for a partner who has value. Personally, my mum advised me never to settle down with a woman who doesn’t have a source of livelihood, regardless of love,” he said.
The singer added, “She also told me never to marry someone with the baggage of family responsibilities, especially a firstborn who is not productive.”
Chike added that he takes his mom’s advice seriously and now asks potential partners tough questions to gauge their productivity and family background before considering a relationship.
