“Work hard so your kids can marry for love and not hunger” – Bella Okagbue advises Nigerian parents

BBNaija actress Bella Okagbue has advised Nigerian parents on the need of hustling for the benefit of their children.

Taking to the microblogging site, X, the reality TV personality stated that 99% of Nigerians are just concerned in promoting and benefitting off other people’s riches without regard for its source.

She stated that it is quite distressing that a person’s wealth is the primary determinant of their social position, and that it appears that working illegally has become widespread in this day and age.

Bella says she does not want to raise her children in a country where it is usual practice to marry someone who cannot offer proof of income.

To guarantee that their children marry for love rather than money, she advised parents to work hard. Above all, teach children the virtue of contentment so that they will not turn a blind eye when things go wrong.

Her words: “99% of Nigerians don’t care about how you make your money. They just want to hype you and tap into your wealth without caring about your source of income. It even feels like doing an illegal job is normalised in this day and age. You’d be seen as important in the society if you are rich and it’s quite sad cause I don’t want to bring up my kids in such an environment where they think it’s okay to hurt people to get there or it’s okay to marry people that you cannot account for their source of income. Hustle o, so you can give your kids the best life so your kids can marry for love and not for hunger so in their own world they would never be able to relate to certain lifestyle or associate with certain people. Most importantly, teach them contentment so when it’s not all rosy, they’d never look the wrong way.”
