Nigerian singer Waje has shared her thoughts on why she can’t date a man in his middle 20s, citing her pragmatic nature and desire for a partner who can lead and inspire her.
The 45-year-old singer, whose real name is Aituaje Iruobe, says she would have issues with a man in his middle 20s, as she would end up treating him like a child.
“We will have issues. I’m very pragmatic. Sometimes, I have to hold myself with my siblings, my friends, and my family members. Imagine if it was a husband? He would get tired. I will be treating him like my child. He would hate me,” she said.
Waje also opened up about why she can’t also marry an unsuccessful man, stating that she’s no longer in her 20s and doesn’t have the time and patience to “build” with a man.
“I can’t marry someone who is not successful, and here’s why: first of all, I’m not in my 20s so we are not growing together. A man leads, he leads by selling aspirations to me. I have to aspire to see him lead. And if he can’t inspire me to grow, we can’t be partners,” she said.
