Controversial Nollywood actress Esther Nwachukwu has ignited a fresh debate by declaring her preference for dating married men over single men. During a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Nwachukwu asserted that married men possess greater maturity and understanding in relationships, qualities she finds more appealing than those offered by single men.
I donโt have sex with single guys. I go for married men. Married men are more mature. They understand you.
"I donโt have sex with single guys. I go for married men. Married men are more mature. They understand you," Nwachukwu stated. She further elaborated on her views regarding intimacy outside of marriage, suggesting that some married men intentionally hold back to conserve their energy, presumably so their wives do not suspect infidelity. "Some lazy married men donโt last in bed because they want to save their strength so that their wives wonโt know they have had sex outside," she added.

Beyond her dating preferences, Nwachukwu revealed a pragmatic approach to relationships, prioritizing financial stability above all else. She declared that a partner's faithfulness is secondary to their financial support, famously stating, "I donโt care if a man cheats on me as long as he gives me money. Money is love." Nwachukwu attributed this stance to her background, emphasizing her desire to escape poverty and achieve a comfortable life. "In this generation, women love money more than love. I need to elevate myself. I wasnโt born with poverty," she explained.

Her unconventional views extend to marriage itself, as Nwachukwu expressed openness to marrying a polygamous man. Her primary goal is comfort and financial security, not necessarily being the sole wife. "I am available to marry a man that has six wives. I just want to be comfortable. I am coming from a poor background, so I cannot end up in a poor home," she said. Nwachukwu's candid remarks have prompted significant discussion on social media, with many Nigerians engaging in a lively debate about her perspectives on relationships, marriage, and the role of financial security in partner selection.
