Nollywood actress Racheal Okonkwo has fired back at claims made by Zubby Michael suggesting that her success and wealth may be scaring away potential suitors.
During a candid conversation, Zubby jokingly remarked that the actress might have intimidated many men by acquiring several landed properties, even teasing that she would attend Shiloh tirelessly.
Reacting to the comment, Rachael didn’t hold back as she reminded him of her humble beginnings before fame and fortune.
Using a relatable metaphor, she reflected on her past, recalling her days of roasting corn in Nsukka and dancing to make ends meet.
In her words:
“I’m not looking for a poverty-alleviation relationship. If men fear successful women, why didn’t they marry me when I was roasting corn in Nsukka?”
The actress made it clear that her success didn’t come overnight, stressing that any man worthy of her would appreciate her journey rather than feel intimidated by it.
She also emphasized that her achievements are a result of hard work and dedication, adding that she expects respect—not fear—from anyone who comes into her life.
Her response quickly sparked reactions online, with many fans applauding her for speaking her truth.
One user wrote, “You go girl! Nobody fit shame you for your success.” Another added, “This is so relatable. Unmarried successful women get unfairly judged by men.”
