Why Marriage is not for the wise, rich, educated — Harrysong

Tare Okiri, Nigerian singer known as Harrysong, has given his two cents about marriage, stating that the institution is not for the wise, and rich or educated people. 

While giving the relationship advice, the singer said, “Marriage is not for the wise. It’s not for the educated nor for the rich. Not for the righteous and the over sabi’s. Cus none of these can keep you married. If you cannot be humble, selfless, tolerant, patient, accommodate and serve humanity. That your partner is humanity, you can’t humbly serve him or her? Don’t get married (Generation of pride, selfishness and over sabi.”(sic)

The Nigerian singer, songwriter and instrumentalist rose to fame after his tribute song to Nelson Mandela which won the “Most Downloaded Callertune Award” at The Headies 2013.
