Men Marry For Love, Women For Security” — Nasboi Sparks Debate On Marriage Motivations

Popular content creator and singer Nasiru Lawal, widely known as Nasboi, has ignited a heated social media debate following his recent comments on the driving forces behind modern marriages.

In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, the skit maker opined that there is a fundamental difference in how men and women approach matrimony. According to Nasboi, “Many men marry for love, while a lot of women marry for financial security.”

The statement has since gone viral, drawing polarised reactions from fans and social commentators alike. While some supporters of the singer agreed with his perspective, citing economic realities as a major factor in domestic unions, others criticised the take as a generalisation that undermines women’s emotional commitment.

Nasboi’s comments come shortly after he opened up about a personal heartbreak, describing the experience as “traumatising” and stating that he was not prepared to give love another chance in the near future.
