NOLLYWOOD ENEMIES OF PROGRESS AND POVERTY TESTS

- Girl grew up with silver spoon.
- Girl has maids that cook for her and do her laundry.
- Girl drives fancy cars and wears expensive clothes and accessories.
- Girl studied at a top university and has travelled to the most exotic places in the world.
- Girl is rich and happy.

Then there comes a poor/average man.

- Poor man falls in love with rich girl.
- Rich girl likes poor man because he is handsome and charming (you can't be poor and ugly. Pick a struggle).
- Poor man wants to marry rich girl but can't afford the kind of life she is used to.

The sensible thing to do would be for the poor man to back down or allow the rich girl to use her own money to set up a rich lifestyle for the both of them.

But that's not how it works in Nollywood. In Nollywood, a woman is only as rich as the man she chooses to marry and that's how rich girls becomes a pauper after living a life of opulence.

- Poor man complains that rich girl can't cook.
- Poor man complains that rich girl can't clean.
- Poor man complains that rich girl can't wash his clothes.
- Poor man starts maltreating rich girl.
- Rich girl wants to stay married.

Because no matter how rich and educated you are as a woman, you are nothing if you are not married.

- Rich girl starts asking her maids for cooking tutorials,
- Rich girl starts going to the market.
- Rich girl starts washing clothes.
- Rich girl starts dressing like a tomato seller and rocking braids.

By the end of the movie, rich girl has become accustomed to a poor/average lifestyle, but she is now a complete woman because she can cook, clean and do laundry.

At this point, God blesses the poor man who earns millions and becomes a rich man.

The End.

-------------------------------------

You see, eh, God will punish the man that will try this rubbish with me. In fact thunder will strike his eyes and make him blind, so that he won't see me when I walk past him.

There are many curses walking about in the body of men and women who just want to come into your life and run you down.

People ought to know their class and stick with it. If you are a man who thinks your wife is only as rich as you are, then you are a witch and deserve the thunder of Sango and Ogun at the centre of your head.

Why is poverty used to test women? Why do people think there is virtue in poverty? I see stupid pictures flying about of dirty dishes and clothes, with the caption "If you go to his house and see this, will you wash it?". What sort of rubbish is that?

Nobody should use poverty to test me. I WILL FAIL.
If you plan to come into my life to deprive me of my comfort since you cannot afford it, please, miss me and forget me.

I am not going lower than this. I aim to go higher.

So Mr Enemy Of Progress, do not come near me and do not love me. I nor want your poor man's love.

Who you and your love that reeks of poverty epp?
