Media personality Chioma Ahaghotu has advised poor women in Nigeria not to marry poor men.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, she described a “poor man + poor woman” union as a tragedy written in sweating and unpaid bills.

Ahaghotu said children suffer the most in such marriages due to lack of care and resources, while women are left to shoulder multiple roles—provider, wife, mother, cleaner, chef, and therapist.

“If you’re a poor Nigerian woman living in Nigeria, honestly, you’re better off staying single than marrying a poor man , because you will suffer. Let me explain,” she wrote.

P00rs don’t make a comfortable. The “poor man + poor woman” combo is often a tra*gedy written in sweating and unpaid bills. Once you add children, the struggle multiplies.

The woman will hustle outside to contribute, then still come home to play wife, mother, cleaner, chef, and therapist, all on empty stomach and low battery. The more children come, the deeper the suffering digs in.

Meanwhile, when papa Obinna comes back home, he goes outside to nara breeze or watch football.

She’ll do every chore, and if she dares to ask for help, he’ll say she’s nagging him.

This is not the time of your parents, you will suffer enh. Aguru aghuo gi anya.

Before you come here now to argue, why do you want to relate to this story so much that you feel personally outraged? Owu ihe oma that two poor people go marry in 2025. Ok na I dash you.”
