Celebs And Second-hand Husband.

Why do Nigeria female celebrities prefer second-hand husband? Or why would anyone prefer second-hand husband when there are a lot of brand new men out there. Or can we like this to the case of how we often go for second-hand cars when we obviously know the advantages of the brand new cars and cannot afford it?
Come to think of it, is it that our female celebs can no longer afford the luxury of waiting for the brand new husbands to come along? Or has the brand new men refuse to be fooled by the razzmatazz or flashy make-ups, artificial nails, Brazilian hairs and Peruvian eyelashes?
Do they prefer the second-hand men as a thing of choice or they simply can't get a brand new man to put a ring on it? Some say a second hand husband is often an Alhaji, oyinbo, Otunba, Prince or a "Jand" business man who is still married legally but single or divorced legally and who is fully loaded with cash to sponsor the lavish lifestyle of the female celebs. Truth is our female celebs don't care if the second-hand husband is still married legally or not, all they want is a loaded man who can finance them and who they can show off to their fellow girls that they are married.
If you actually look around, you will realize that a lot of names will pop up; from actresses to musicians. Almost all the married female entertainers in Nigeria have a second-hand husband, worst still; some of these female celebs are second-hand. Well if you don't believe me, make a list of all the married female actress and musicians and Google about their husbands, you will be amazed at the discovery.
Though I know that the issue of second-hand husband is not peculiar to entertainers only but theirs is more conspicuous as they are popular and seen as role models by many people therefore, they ought to navigate this path better as not to negatively influence the younger mind who looks up to them as role models.
You may argue that it is no body's business that a female celeb chooses to settle down with but been a celebrity makes your life public and your business is everybody’s business.
Though, nobody can change this trend as the female celebs decide what type of. Second-hand husband they acquire. Be it Tokunbo (foreign used) or Nigerian used.
Go ahead girls, take home the second-hand husband, it is your choice.
One thing is certain, a second-hand car can park-up anywhere at any time. You can either push-start it or abandon it for another one or rent one.
