Renowned Nigerian musician and instrumentalist, Harrison Tare Okiri, also known as Harrysong, has stated that the marriage institution is not for the wise, rich or educated people.
Harrysong’s opinion on his Instagram page, the singer noted that wealth, education and wisdom can’t stop a marriage from breaking up.
Whilst stressing on the complexity of marriage, he explained that the key qualities for a successful marriage are humility, selflessness, patience and the ability to serve one’s partner.
“Marriage is not for the wise, not for the educated nor for the rich. Not for the righteous and the over-sabis.
‘Because none of these can keep you married. If you can’t be humble, selfless, tolerant, patient,
accommodate and serve humanity.
That your partner is humanity, you cannot humbly serve him or her?
“Don’t get married (Generation of pride, selfishness and over sabi.”
He said this amongst the marital crisis between Davido’s logistics manager, Isreal DMW and his wife, Shiela Courage.
