Top Nigerian celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji, said it was just recently that she began thinking about marriage.
She further gave a hint on the kind of man she will love to marry.
The 36-year-old blogger and sister of Laura Ikeji who was delivered of a baby recently in the US was asked if she had been receiving proposals from suitors and qualities her kind of man must possess. She said:
“I’m getting quite a lot of proposals. You know people say when a woman is successful, men run away, it’s a lie, that is when they chase you the more. But unfortunately, I haven’t seen what I’m looking for. To be honest, I keep telling people, it’s not like men are scarce, it’s the type of man some of us are looking for that is scarce, if I want to marry next year I can, but he would not be the kind of man I want.
I want a man that I can look up to, someone that inspires me, someone that would push me, someone that would motivate me, somebody that has had some success in his own career path, then I can look up to him and be like “wow”, a man that teaches me and I can learn from. I’m inspired by successful people, someone like Tyler Perry, I can’t wait to meet him.
I can’t marry a poor guy, I’m being honest about it, no I can’t, he doesn’t have to be very rich but let him be successful in his own way. You may come across some successful men but there is something wrong there, so the whole package is what I’m looking for.
When I was like 30-years old, my standards were very high, extremely high, but I wasn’t looking at marrying, I was just focused on work because I’ve always been so ambitious that I wasn’t focusing on marriage or kids. I felt like I should just do what I wanted to do. It was just recently that I began to think about marriage, and to be honest, my requirements are only three now.
He must be successful, he must be a good man, in the sense that he must be supportive of me, if he tries to stifle me then I’m out. Lastly, he has to be a man that likes sex and must be very good at it”, she finally said.
Linda Ikeji is one of Nigeria’s most successful bloggers. In August 2012, Forbes Africa profiled Linda Ikeji and Chibundu Onuzo as one of Africa’s 20 Most Prominent Women.
