Nigerian music star Aituaje Iruobe, professionally known as Waje, has shared her non-negotiable standards for potential life partners. The celebrated vocalist emphasized that she prioritizes finding someone established rather than building from scratch.
Why Success Matters to Waje
The mother-of-one explained that her age influences her perspective. She stated: “I can’t marry someone who isn’t successful. I’m not in my 20s anymore. We wouldn’t be growing together at this stage.”
Waje elaborated on leadership expectations in relationships. She believes partners should inspire growth. “A man leads by creating aspirations. I need to see that leadership. Without inspiration to develop, partnership becomes impossible.”
The singer identified three essential qualities beyond professional success. She highlighted “faith, emotional intelligence, and achievement” as crucial foundations for any serious relationship.
Age Compatibility Concerns
Waje also addressed dating younger partners. She expressed concerns about practical compatibility. “Dating younger men wouldn’t work. We’d inevitably clash,” she asserted.
The pragmatic artist explained potential conflicts. “I naturally guide my siblings and friends. With a younger husband, I’d treat him like a child. That dynamic breeds resentment.”
Her self-awareness shapes these boundaries. Waje recognizes her leadership tendencies could overwhelm peers. “He’d grow tired of my approach. Eventually, he’d resent me,” she concluded.
