WEEKEND EXCLUSIVE: Who Would You Prefer To Marry, Someone Who Loves You, Or Someone You Love? - VOX POP

It is rare to see two persons in a relationship with a love that is equal, one amongst them in most cases will love the other person more. As simple as the question seems, it is also complicated. Everyone wants to feel loved, especially from those we care about.

This weekend, KARIFEST went into the streets to get the opinions of Nigerians. Each person had a good reason for their choice. Do you prefer to marry someone you love, or someone who loves you? Let's hear from the people!

When Chikwado Precious was presented with the question, she had this to say, "I will prefer someone who loves me, It will be easier for me to love him back much later if I didn't love him at the beginning."

"I prefer someone who love me and I love her back, that's who I'll go for. I can't be with someone I don't love, nor will I be with someone who don't love me. Everyone wants to be with someone who loves them." - Mr. Chuks Michael A.

"I can only marry someone that love me. It matters little if I love her back." - Barry M. Yakubu

"I will prefer someone with whom we both share love, but I prefer the one that her love is deeper than mine. This will give me assurance that she will not jilt me. You can never trust someone a 100%." - Mr. Uchenna

"I can't lie to you, I'm picking someone I love, to hell with the consequences. I wouldn't like to be playing hanky panky simply because I don't love my wife. So it's who I love and not who loves me." - Mr. Adie Emmanuel

"This is a simple question, because I prefer someone who loves me. It gives me an advantage. Not the opposite." - Zubashi Faith

"There is a problem when you marry someone you love and the person does not love you equally. You will continue to be inferior in that marriage. So I prefer someone who loves me." - Mrs Chinedu Henrietta

"I would love to marry someone who loves me. That will assure me that I am married to a trusted one. Imagine being in love with someone for the rest of your life without the person reciprocating. It's unimaginably frustrating. - Mr. Macbeth Ojugbeli

"I will prefer someone who loves me so dearly, not that I won't love the person, but the person should love me more. Or else it is a problem." - Mr. Dele Austin

"Of course I will marry someone I love, not the other way round. If I don't love you then no marriage. Love for sure must not always be equal, it comes more from one side. It doesn't mean it's bad. No love is equal." - Miss Doris

"It is not advisable to marry someone that do not love you, it is also not too good to marry someone who you don't love. But if I am to chose, I prefer someone that loves me more." - Stanley Chukwuwike

"I will pick someone who loves me, this means no matter how I misbehave, the love will still be there. But someone who doesn't love me will not need an excuse to leave me. That's my logic". - Nkemdili Adikamku

"It is difficult to find a relationship with 50:50 love from both partners. Love scale of between 40:60 to 45:55 is a fair balance.
My desire and prayer is to walk down the aisle with that particular woman that respects and cares about me and prefers me to every other man." - Comrade Clet Aniyem.

"I will prefer someone that love me more than i love the person. That's is playing safe." - Kenneth Nwabuoku.

"I don't believe love is equal, it is just not possible. One of the couple must feel it more, I prefer my partner loves me more. I think that is better." - Obioma Sandra

EXCLUSIVE: OPINION POLL: Buhari Has Performed Below Expectations - Majority

Before the election that brought Buhari into power, support was divided between supporters of Buhari and Jonathan. Many people were expectant, they needed a change in government, someone with integrity, someone like Buhari.

However, after more than a year into his four years tenure, opinion have changed greatly. KARIFEST was in the streets to find out from people what their opinion is about Buhari's government, this is what they had to say:

The economy of d country is dwindling. Everytthing has been skyrocketed, I expected more from him but he has not tried. I'll rate him 40%. - Mr Gabriel Egbohor

There is no performance, how do I rate someone that has not performed at all? Buhari did not come for leadership. He came for revenge, he's angry because of all the election he lost before I guess. - Corper Lamosi

We shouldn't judge him yet, things are not good now but I'm hopeful. Maybe during his last two years things will improve, maybe. If I'm there I might perform better or even worse, you can't tell. - Mr Nwamaka Nwachukwu

This is not what I expected O, I won't lie to you. Buhari has disappointed all those who believed in him. We voted for change but it's not working. What Nigeria needs is restructuring. - Mrs Uzondu Ijeoma

That man (President Buhari) has not tried at all. He has ceased everything. I don't even get customers (in my restaurant) anymore. - Mrs Jennifer Chukwu

The country right now is not good, people are crying. The change people voted for is not what they are seeing. He promised more than he could offer. - Mr J.A.J. Amahabi

Things have been difficult since we voted for change. Everything is scarce since Buhari entered power. Don't be surprised it might not be his fault, but since he's the leader, he's the one we should blame. - Evans Calabar

The President have performed poorly. More was expected from him. So far he hasn't done anything, there are no good changes. -Mr Chime

I believe that Buhari have a vision to an extent, but he hasn't delivered yet. Maybe he should focus more on creating more job, not just corruption. Buhari needs to work harder. - Mr Steven

Performance? What performance? Look, our leaders are not doing well. Not just Buhari, but both in state and local government. What they do is they steal our money and dump in another country. It's only in Nigeria you see a graduate riding keke. - Corper Mimie

When he was coming we were hearing change, but this is not the change we were expecting. People are suffering, Buhari have change everything. We don't even know where we are going. His method is not working at all. People are hungry, and believe me, an hungry man is an angry man. - Mr Nwadimuya Daniel

20% is my rating for him. He has been really poor. He hasn't performed at all, what we hear are excuses. Miss Lyrics Okoye

Speaking as an average person, things are difficult. The masses are not comfortable at all, my family are not. His administration has been bad. - Mr Henry Okwugbo

We have to look at this topic critically because I believe that our President inherited a lot of trouble. Corruption is everywhere, even in the judicial system and public service. In all fairness I will say he's trying, although I expect more from him. - Mr Obah Patrick

As for me Buhari is doing well, we should be patient. Because of him most people are running into farming. - Mr Toju

Buhari is trying. The only problem is that the cost of everything is high. But if you look at it in terms of corruption and security, he has done well there. That's why I say he's trying. - Mrs Iyedo

Firstly, I believe it's a global problem. The price of oil fell from over $100 dollars per barrel to about $36. So that's a big loss. But I also believe that the president didn't put his house in order early. For me I'll rate him 15%. - Mr Donatus Etse

Nope...the country seem to be heading to doom. Because in the last one year and few months the president has been on seat, there is absolutely nothing to write home about. O ye..he chanted "Change", I was wondering if it was really Change or chain? He came in to make a show off..o yes. Even if he had the mind of making this country a befitting one, what's actually delaying him? To me...he has done nothing and I'll rate him 0%. - Miss Gift

The economy is making me think better. As good as you can see, take advantage of the bad situation and turn it to good. - Mr E. Onyema

The economic state of the country is in d hands of the bourgeois. The country is indeed very rich but the bourgeois (elite) have adopted a sight tightism method on it. President Mohammadu Buhari's govt is one of the worst government so far. - Nwankwo Blessing

40% in a scale of 100, that's my rating for him. The economy is on standby, no headway yet. - Mr Uche Ike
