Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold has ignited a fresh online debate after a video of her sharing strong opinions on marriage went viral. In the clip, captured on a movie set, the actress engaged crew members in a candid discussion about what makes a marriage work in today's world.
Lizzy Gold's Views on Marriage and Wealth
According to Lizzy Gold, a man must marry a woman who is less wealthy than him to earn her respect. She warned that marrying a richer woman would lead to disrespect and suffering for the man. The actress stated that she personally would only consider marrying a man who is significantly richer than her.
In her words: "As a man, if you want to earn respect from a woman, marry someone you're richer than. If you marry a woman wey get money pass you, my brother, you're on your own. She will never respect you. As for me, I will marry a man who is far richer than me."
Mixed Reactions From Netizens
The video quickly attracted comments from social media users, with many criticizing her stance. User @Faithysia_blunt called it a "stupid take," questioning what happens if a woman becomes rich through a business her husband helped establish. @Nwanne_KaEnyi remarked that the actress has passed her prime and the wealthy men she seeks won't look at her. @Ehys__ advised men not to take relationship advice from women, suggesting instead that poor men marry richer women and invest in themselves. @wealthAbit labeled her talk as "rubbish" and argued that money is not gender-based.
