'Can’t date a man who doesn’t support my career ambition' – Shaffy Bello

Seasoned Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has made it clear that she wouldn't date a man who interferes with or limits her ability to pursue her career.

Even though traditionally, men are expected to shoulder the primary responsibility for family spending, the actress stated her conviction that women should actively contribute financially to their homes during a chat with Stephanie Coker on the podcast "Me, Her and Everything Else."

Shaffy Bello clarified that even if she were married to a billionaire, she would not accept being reduced to a housewife.

She said: “I think a man was raised to be a provider. To be the king, usually, people go to the king for direction.

“So as a woman, I want to have my own, so that I can be of help when you need me. I can’t date a man who says stop working.

“But to be honest with you, even if you are a billionaire and you put me in a hole, I still have to do something. Because the reason you fell in love with me is because of who I am now. So I am not going to demote myself because of that.”
