Reno Omokri said that you can never judge a man’s humility when he’s broke because finding humility in poor men is like finding a black cat at night.
He advised women not to mistake being humbled by lack of money for being humble. He noted that money brings out the real person hiding behind fake humility because of lack of money.

“Money brings out the you in you. You can never judge a man’s humility when he is broke. Most poor men are humbled. There is a difference between a humble man and a humbled man.
Finding humility in poor men is like finding a black cat at night. When many poor men suddenly become rich, even the way they walk changes.
The same man who used to pick your call even before it finishes ringing will start busying your call. If his wife is not careful, he will upgrade her with a more befitting woman.
So, don’t tell me you are humble. You are just broke.”
My Take:
For some ladies, dating broke men makes them feel decent, modest, caring and patient. All these qualities are greatly desired by many Nigerian guys who are quick to call these ladies good wife material.
What these ladies don’t know is that the humility of broke men is fake in many cases. There are many stories of women who loved, dated, married broke men but when these men made it, they turned their backs on these ladies and start treating them badly.
Some Nigerian women have learned not to fall for the humility of broke guys and this doesn’t sit well with a lot of guys. Many people are quick to judge ladies who say they won’t date or marry broke guys. They call these ladies gold diggers.
It doesn’t matter if the lady has her own money. All they know is that women must suffer with broke guys, build with them and they will be rewarded with marriage. It doesn’t even occur to them that these ladies might have good reasons to stay away from broke guys.
Is it okay to date a broke guy? This question should be answered individually. It depends on what a woman wants. From experience, I won’t date a broke guy because lack of money covers a man’s bad behavior which starts showing once he starts making good money.
Being broke and being in love is not a bad thing. While some ladies would always say they can’t date or marry broke guys, there are those that don’t mind doing so. You cannot go into this kind of relationship based on half baked convictions.
You need to do what’s best for you as a woman and refuse to be swayed by what society wants you to do so that you can prove that you are a wife material.
If you don’t want a broke guy in your life, don’t get involved with one, period. If you see nothing wrong with dating and marrying a broke guy, it is your choice. Go for it!
