Marriage was once a partnership; now it's an escape route from poverty for women — Ghe Ghe
Nigerian comedian Ghe Ghe recently sparked debate with his views on modern relationships during an appearance on the "Honest Brunch" podcast, hosted by Nedu Wazobia. Ghe Ghe expressed that marriage has shifted from being a partnership to a means for many women to escape poverty or secure financial stability. He stated, "Marriage today is like a trap. It’s often just a way for women to escape poverty or find someone to fund their lifestyle. Men need to think carefully before walking into this financial burden." Nedu challenged Ghe Ghe by referencing his parents’ marriage, but Ghe Ghe maintained that the institution of marriage has evolved significantly over the years. He explained, "Back then, marriage was a partnership. Women were pillars of support, managing the home, farming, and raising the family while men took on leadership roles. Now, it’s a different story. The dynamic has changed, and not necessarily for the better."
