Clout chasers have more guts to date actresses than serious men — Bukky Wright 

Popular Nollywood actress, Bukky Wright, has opined that many Nigerian men are not ready to handle self-made women.

The movie star made expressed the opinion on Channels Television’s Rubin Minds with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Sunday, March 2, 2025.

She said, “To be sincere, you picture the right man to come to you and most times it’s a no because a lot of time, the men or the men that feel they are right for you don’t come along because they are like… I have heard it a lot time where someone says where do I start from and I will be like seriously?

“Start from wherever, start from the beginning, you are a man, I am a woman, you know what I mean but unfortunately, you get to find out that the men that have the guts to talk to you as an actress are probably clout chasers or men whose intentions are not pure but you don’t blame the women in the industry because these are the men that come up to them.”

Continuing, she said, ” And for someone who has that kind of intention, what do you expect of that marriage. At the same time, even when the right men come along, a lot of them don’t have what it takes to be with a self-made woman or a popular actress because sometimes, these men get jealous of what they are not supposed to be jealous of and forgetting that you met this woman doing this job, you saw her on the screen as an actress or you saw her as a self-made woman before you approached her, so what is it you are jealous about? Is it the fame or what? Because I see a lot of things and this has happened to me. I will say it again, Nigerian men are not ready for a self-made woman. I am sorry if it comes across as an insult but are you ready for a self-made woman? Or are you ready for an independent woman because if you want an independent woman or a strong woman, trust me there are some things you can’t get but if you want a woman that would succumb to you, I would say go to your village and get somebody that isn’t aspiring to be anything in life. This is because if a woman is aspiring to be something and you marry her and you are now trying to pull her down, she would rebel.”

The ‘Omotara Johnson’ star also said motherhood and parenting responsibilities took her off the screens for sometime.
