An American woman celebrated her younger Nigerian husband two months after their marriage, addressing haters by saying they were still together, happy, and that he wasn’t going anywhere. Following her post, one comment read, “Hope ur money is strong enough to sustain him cos if money finish this one fit run.”
This insensitive comment implies that the young Nigerian man married her only for financial gain and would leave once her money runs out. The reason for such a comment stems from common stereotypes that younger African men who marry older foreign women do so for immigration papers or financial benefit. However, this mindset unfairly discredits genuine relationships and reinforces prejudice. It mocks their union and diminishes the possibility of real love, commitment, and happiness between them.
