Nigerian singer Chike has stirred conversation online after revealing firm relationship advice he received from his mother.
The artiste shared the disclosure during a recent interview, where he spoke candidly about expectations in choosing a life partner.
According to Chike, his mother consistently warned him against settling down with a woman who is not actively working or productively engaged.
She advised that a partner should already have a sense of purpose and contribution, rather than becoming an added responsibility.
Chike explained that his mother stressed the dangers of entering relationships where one person carries the full financial and emotional burden.
He noted that love alone is not enough, especially when a partner lacks independence or comes with extended family responsibilities.
The singer added that the advice was rooted in realism, acknowledging that not everyone comes from a comfortable background.
His comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians debating love, responsibility and modern relationships.
