Billionaire tech entrepreneur and owner of Tesla Motors and X, Elon Musk, has said he is seriously considering marrying a woman from Nigeria. He revealed this during a live television interview with CNN.
He said that since childhood, he has always loved Nigerian women because of their upbringing and manners.
“Nigerian girls are the best to make a wife,” said Elon Musk during the interview. “When I was younger, I had a crush on a Nigerian girl named Lara. Her dad was a lecturer at the same university where my dad was teaching. Lara was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I was so madly in love with her that I promised myself I would marry her when I grew up.
“Unfortunately, Lara’s dad relocated back to Nigeria after he was given an appointment by the then military government of General Muhammadu Buhari. It’s funny how the same Buhari was still in charge of Nigeria until recently. How could Nigerian people return a failed government to power in this 21st century? But that’s a digression.
“Last year, I tried to find Lara so we could reconnect, but I was disappointed to learn that she is now married with children. She is married to a popular Nigerian politician. Lara wouldn’t even leave her husband when I advised her to divorce him so we could start our dream life together. I have never seen such a level of loyalty. Imagine—I am one of the richest men in the world, and she still wouldn’t marry me.
“Since Lara wouldn’t leave her husband to marry me, I have decided to start searching for another Nigerian woman to marry. I believe that before the end of the year, I will have found my choice.”
Speaking about what he is looking for in a Nigerian woman, Elon said:
“I am looking for a Nigerian woman who is very respectful and homely. Please, I don’t want a feminist—I don’t want problems in my life. I want a woman who will cook for me and take care of our children. She wouldn’t have to work; I would give her a monthly allowance of $200,000.
“Being a Yoruba woman is an added advantage, but it doesn’t really matter as long as she is 100 percent Nigerian. I don’t want Nigerian-American, Nigerian-British, or anything else. I want a woman who has lived in Nigeria her entire life—those ones make good wife material.”
