Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has opened up about his decision to stay out of romantic relationships for over a decade, explaining that his primary focus was on building financial stability first. In a candid statement, the actor shared his perspective on love, relationships, and the pressure that comes with both, particularly when finances are not in order.
“For over 10 years, I’ve not dated any girl. I just wanted to make money first,” Zubby revealed, highlighting how the mental stress and distractions that often come with relationships could have hindered his career focus. He emphasized that his decision wasn’t about disliking women, but rather about ensuring he was financially secure before pursuing any romantic commitments.
“You see women? I’m not saying they are bad, but they can stress you mentally. Some think it’s love, but it stops you from concentrating,” he explained. According to Zubby, being in a relationship while broke can lead to further complications. “I’ve seen how some women treat broke men, so I have to work hard and be good first. Put some things in order before any relationship.”
Zubby went on to advise young men to prioritize financial stability before diving into romantic relationships, noting that many of the misunderstandings and conflicts in relationships stem from financial struggles, even though that may not be explicitly stated by partners.
The actor’s perspective sheds light on the often-overlooked pressures that come with relationships, particularly for men trying to establish themselves financially in a competitive world. Zubby’s commitment to securing his financial future before love serves as a message to those who may be struggling to balance both at the same time.
