If You Like Earn 50 Million Naira as your monthly income, Some Women Would Rather Date Business Men Than Corporate Bros. To find out why from fellow Nigerian men, continue reading…
“I have made up my mind not to ever admit that I work in the corporate world. The last time a woman took me seriously was when I was in Secondary school when all I had to do was buy N100 airtime for them and be intelligent in school. You really can’t open your mouth and tell a lady you’re getting to know that you collect a monthly salary without them thinking you’re not up to the task financially. All I do now is tell them that I’m a tech bro who works fully on site when in reality, I’m a banker.”

“I’ve never been ashamed of my job until I met my girlfriend’s dad. She took me to go see her father and he asked me what I do for a living. I told him that I work remotely as a graphic designer for three different agencies. This man looked me squarely in the eyes and said, “No, I’m asking what you really do for a living”… At that point, I wasn’t sure what to say anymore without coming off as rude so I told him I had projects in mind that I was looking to execute. He didn’t seem convinced. Apparently, my girlfriend’s dad is a business man and has never worked for anyone before so he basically didn’t take me seriously because I was earning a monthly income.”

“My ex broke up with me because she thought that my monthly income wasn’t enough to foot the expenses for a simple wedding. Omo that one pain me, I no go lie. Right now, I’m on my own until I figure out my life and how to make more money”
Joe, 31
“Even if you’re earning as much as 1.5 million as your monthly income, as long as you’re working in an office that isn’t owned by you, there’s a high chance the woman you’re talking to won’t take you seriously. My girlfriend and I have been together for 10 months now and every time she talks about her friends’ relationships, she would always make reference to their partners having a business of their own. I understand that she’d like me to be a businessman as well but capital is not something you can easily pick up on the roadside.”
Isaac, 30
“I took this 23 year old babe on a date one weekend like that. As we started eating and talking about life, I found out that she was still in school (final year). She randomly just asked what I do for a living and I told her that I’m a PR specialist. Next thing she said was “so you go to the office everyday?” I said yes. The babe had the audacity to ask me if I earned in dollars. I said no and the babe looked disappointed. This is someone who hasn’t even graduated, has a business or even understood what life is like outside school.”

“Let’s keep romantic relationships aside first, have you hung out with your friends that own businesses and shame go just catch you. I decided to go on a double date with my guy. He brought his babe and I came with mine. I think where the mistake started was the place we chose for our date, a mall. After everything, he took his girl and told her to pick whatever she wanted. I couldn’t do that with my own babe because my salary had not entered and I already had plans for the money that I had in my account so I took her home. On our way home, my girlfriend started talking about how I embarrassed her. You think I wasn’t embarrassed too?”
Kayode, 30
“Imagine dating someone that is into business and you’re an employee. My babe sells human hair and earns a great deal of money. I often fear I’d lose her because of my current inability to match up or supersede her income. I earn 250k monthly and still have to foot my family’s bills as well as hers sometimes. I’ve also tried selling oil perfumes but it just didn’t work out. She never complains about how little I give her and that makes me feel insecure. My friends say she’s getting money from other guys who are definitely not nine-fivers and I don’t know how to feel about this. I can’t do more than myself because entrepreneurship is not for everyone.”
