“BUILD YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE EXPECTING TO MARRY RICH” – Actor Uzor Arukwe Tells Single Ladies
The Nollywood star, celebrated for his role as billionaire "Odogwu," advises women to focus on self-development, noting that valuable partners naturally attract one another.
Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has offered practical relationship advice to single women, urging them to prioritize self-development and financial independence before seeking to marry into wealth.
The actor, who plays the beloved billionaire character “Odogwu” in the film Love In Every World 2, responded to social media praise for his role by emphasizing that his character’s love interest, Chioma (played by Bambam), was already a valuable and industrious woman before receiving his support.
“While we are basking in our delulu, it’s important to remember that Odogwu saw Chioma as a valuable woman before throwing his full weight to support her,” Arukwe wrote on his X handle. “He didn’t even need to ask what she brings to the table because it was clear she’s an industrious woman.”
The actor stressed that genuine partnerships form between individuals who both bring value to the relationship. He encouraged women to focus on building their own careers and personal worth rather than solely seeking wealthy partners.
“So as a woman, build value for yourself first, and your Odogwu will locate you to become your helpmate that makes everything easier to handle,” he advised.
Arukwe’s comments reflect a growing conversation about financial independence and mutual respect in modern relationships, particularly in response to the romanticized portrayals of wealthy partners in Nollywood storylines. His perspective challenges the narrative that women should depend solely on marriage for financial security, instead advocating for self-sufficiency as the foundation for healthy partnerships.
