I won’t date you if you can’t allow me work – Actress Shaffy Bello

A popular Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello has stated that she won’t date a man who would not allow her to work.

Speaking on a chat tagged Me, Her and Everything Else podcast with Stephanie Coker, the actress argued that a woman must strive to support her husband at home financially regardless of the fact that men are supposed to be responsible for keeping the home.

She explained that she won’t allow herself to be demoted to a wife who would stay at home even if she got married to a billionaire.

Bello said, “I think a man was raised to be a provider. To be the king, usually people go to the king for direction.

“So as a woman, I want to have my own, so that I can be of help when you need me. I can’t date a man who says stop working.

“But to be honest with you, even if you are a billionaire and you put me in a hole, I still have to do something. Because the reason you fell in love with me is because of who I am now. So I am not going to demote myself because of that.”

NIGERIAN NEWSDIRECT recalls that Shaffy got married to her estranged husband, Akinrimisi in 1995 but their union hit the rocks in 2020.

Shaffy had earlier in February disclosed that she wants a companion but was not interested in getting married.
