Popular Nigerian comedian Justice Emonaerere Nuagbe, popularly known as Ushbebe is a well-known comedian and actor. Ushbebe has offered practical marriage advice to singles, encouraging them not to wait for “perfect” financial conditions before settling down. The entertainer, known for his social commentary, shared his views during a recent interview, sparking discussions about realistic expectations in relationships.
According to Ushbebe, a partner with a stable job capable of covering basic needs like rent and daily expenses is a reasonable starting point—especially when both individuals are working. “Marriage itself can bring blessings and open doors you never expected,” he said, citing examples of career opportunities that often arise through spousal connections.
However, the comedian cautioned against reckless decisions, emphasizing the importance of thorough background checks. “Financial stability alone isn’t enough. Watch out for abusive tendencies, irresponsibility, or emotional imbalance,” he advised. His remarks highlight the need for mutual respect and shared goals in partnerships.

Social media reactions have been mixed, with some applauding his balanced perspective and others stressing the risks of financial instability.As debates continue, his message reinforces a middle-ground approach: “Build together, but choose wisely.”
