Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has advised single women to prioritize personal growth and self-development before dreaming of marrying rich or generous men.

Gossip News Now reports that the actor shared this message while reacting to the massive online praise for his role as Odogwu, a wealthy and affectionate lover in the hit movie Love In Every World 2.

Fans on social media had described Odogwu as the ideal man they hope to marry, prompting Arukwe to clarify that his on-screen partner, Chioma (played by Bambam), was already hardworking and resourceful before Odogwu began supporting her.

The actor noted that Odogwu didn’t have to question what Chioma brought to the relationship because her industrious nature was obvious.

Encouraging women to follow a similar path, Arukwe emphasized that self-worth attracts genuine partners, writing:

“While we are basking in our delulu, it’s important to remember that Odogwu saw Chioma as a valuable woman before throwing his full weight to support her.
He didn’t even need to ask what she brings to the table because it was clear she’s an industrious woman. So as a woman, build value for yourself first, and your Odogwu will locate you to become your helpmate that makes everything easier to handle.”

His message has since sparked conversations online, with many praising him for promoting self-development and balanced relationships.
