Nollywood actor Williams Uchemba has shared advice for women, urging them to avoid asking men for gifts they themselves cannot afford.
In a video posted on his Instagram on August 14, 2024, Uchemba explained that such demands could harm relationships, suggesting that men should be cautious about marrying women with this mentality.
He highlighted how his wife only requests things that benefit their family rather than making personal demands.
“There is a mentality that is crippling most women in this generation. When you say there is no husband, this is the reason why. I don’t know why you think you have any business requesting things from a man that you can never get to afford in your wildest dream even if you work for ten years. It is a spirit and until you deal with it, there are some of you that will end up not getting married because no man will want to put you in their house.
“It has become like a pandemic now where most women now think that it is okay to make very crazy requests.”
Uchemba expressed concern that many women today have unrealistic expectations, which he believes could be a barrier to finding a husband.
The actor criticized the trend of asking for luxury items like a G-Wagon or an iPhone 15, especially when one cannot afford even a basic version of such items.
He described this behavior as driven by greed and suggested that it might be influenced by a “Jezebelian spirit,” warning that it could deter men from pursuing marriage with women who exhibit it.
“Why are you asking for a GWagon or iPhone 15 when you know that you cannot even afford an iPhone 10 with how much you have in your account, It is a spirit of greed. It has so many things to do with some element of ‘Jezebelian spirit’ and until you deal with it, no man will put you in his house.”
Uchemba also advised women to make requests in a more appealing and considerate manner. His remarks were well-received by many online, who praised him for addressing this issue.
