Hustle so your kids can marry for love and not hunger” – Bella Okagbue. Former BBNaija star, Bella Okagbue, offers guidance to Nigerian parents on the importance of striving for success for the sake of their children.
On the microblogging platform X, the reality TV personality emphasized that the majority of Nigerians seem fixated on glorifying and benefiting from others’ wealth without considering its source.
She expressed dismay at how a person’s wealth often dictates their social status, lamenting the prevalence of illicit activities in today’s society.
Bella stressed her desire to raise her children in an environment where marrying someone based solely on financial status is not the norm.
To ensure that their children prioritize love over money in marriage, she advised parents to work hard and teach their children the value of contentment, instilling in them the resilience to navigate challenging situations.

“99% of Nigerians don’t care about how you make your money. They just want to hype you and tap into your wealth without caring about your source of income. It even feels like doing an illegal job is normalised in this day and age. You’d be seen as important in the society if you are rich and it’s quite sad cause I don’t want to bring up my kids in such an environment where they think it’s okay to hurt people to get there or it’s okay to marry people that you cannot account for their source of income. Hustle o, so you can give your kids the best life so your kids can marry for love and not for hunger so in their own world they would never be able to relate to certain lifestyle or associate with certain people. Most importantly, teach them contentment so when it’s not all rosy, they’d never look the wrong way.”
