I don’t deal with impoverished men, says Nollywood actress

Recently, popular Nigerian actress Nazo Ekezie sparked some questions when she said on Instagram that she had no business dating impoverished guys.

Her statement drew a variety of responses, many of which criticized her for the post, which she eventually removed.

However, the actress elaborated on her remark in a Sunday Scoop interview.

I am not qualified to offer relationship counsel to anyone, she stated.
I wrote a post that was meant to make people think or chuckle.
But now many interpret that to suggest that I was requesting money from males.

The bustling actress said that she wasn’t searching for a partner to develop and invest in. “Self-care is what I care about most,” she declared.
Women must learn how to look for themselves. I come from a world that belongs to women, not to men.

I enjoy conversing with women because I am one myself. I don’t know how my “happy” post could have been misconstrued as “negative” by others. Since then, I have received several “nonsense” letters, mostly from impoverished males. I have no business with you if you are a poor man. I’m not trying to find a man I can build. I lack the energy to accomplish that. I would rather construct my own. Every time I write a motivating piece, I am referring to myself.
