Achieve Financial And Mental Stability Before Marriage” – Chiwetalu Agu Advises Women
Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu urges women to attain financial independence and mental balance before settling down, emphasizing the importance of self-development in modern relationships.
Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu has shared a thought-provoking message with young women, advising them to focus on financial and mental stability before taking the step into marriage.
Speaking during a recent interview, Agu explained that many marriages collapse not because of love loss, but due to a lack of personal readiness and independence from both partners—especially the women.
According to him, a woman who depends entirely on a man for survival may easily lose her voice and self-worth in the relationship.
“Before you think of marriage, make sure you have found your balance — mentally, emotionally, and financially,” Agu said. “When you are stable in these areas, you won’t be pressured or manipulated by anyone.”
He added that marriage should be a union of two complete individuals, not a rescue mission or a place to find identity. The actor further encouraged women to pursue education, learn skills, and build confidence, describing self-sufficiency as “the true beauty of a woman.”
Chiwetalu Agu, known for his unique acting style and wise words, has consistently used his platform to speak on issues affecting society, from youth development to moral values.
His latest advice has since sparked conversations on social media, with many users agreeing that financial independence remains one of the strongest foundations for a healthy marriage.
