Nollywood star Rachael Okonkwo has addressed a playful remark made by fellow actor Zubby Michael regarding her personal life and achievements.
A video circulating online captured the actress on a movie set with Lizzy Gold and other colleagues when Zubby jokingly commented on her success. He teased her about owning several properties and cars while still being unmarried, suggesting in a lighthearted tone that her accomplishments might be intimidating potential partners. He even added humorously that she might end up spending more time in prayer at Shiloh.
Rachael, however, responded confidently, making it clear she has no interest in a relationship based on financial dependence. She stated that her preference is for a partner who is already established and driven.
She also reflected on her personal journey, explaining that her background has influenced her outlook on life, shaping her values around growth, independence, and purpose.
“The idea is to be purposeful before a man shows up. Where I am coming from is very dark. I am not looking for a poverty alleviation relationship. I want to find a man who has found himself,” she said.

@ouchcleo:”True true what do men want. Same man will ask a woman what she is bringing to the table. And when they see a woman with full dinning set, they come with marriage shaming the person. Same men will tell a woman that her family is not his responsibility now they see a financially stable and independent woman who is not just doing it right but taking care of home, boom they come with shaming her for being single even with her money. I thought yall don’t want broke women? Omoh with what my eyes have seen in this life, nothing scares me more than poverty.”
@mzeuropa:”I love the way women are thinking these days.”
