Why I can’t date a poor man — Nazo Ekezie
An actress and producer, Nazo Ekezie, thinks that no matter how much a woman loves a poor man, the latter would still feel insecure.
Maintaining that she would choose a rich man over a poor man, she told Saturday Beats, “I would pick a rich man over a poor man. One, a rich man will not be afraid to show you who he is. If his demon is that he drinks too much; on the first date, he will not be shy to drink because he is the one paying for it. He would want you to know whether you can cope with it or not. But, if a poor man is humble, one won’t know whether he is just hungry.
“Also, the ego of a man is built in a certain way that even when a woman uses her money to take care of him, he would still be thinking about where she got the money from. So, one cannot love a man out of poverty. One can only try one’s best. Men are not created to be taken care of in that way. So, no matter how much a woman loves a man, if she is richer than him, it might affect his ego, as he was created to be a provider.
“He will always find ways to make the woman smaller so that he can be bigger than her. That is why I prefer a man who has already made and can take care of himself, with or without me.”
The actress who publicly asked Don Jazzy on a date some years ago stated that his maturity in handling the situation made him even more attractive to her.”
