Singer Spyro has declared that he will not consider marriage until he has at least ₦500 million in his bank account.

In a post on Instagram, he reflected on his difficult childhood and his determination to create a secure financial future for himself and his future family. He emphasized the importance of breaking the cycle of poverty, urging his followers to focus on long-term stability rather than fleeting pleasures.

Spyro expressed concern that many in his generation prioritize superficial pursuits over meaningful personal growth, describing this attitude as aimless and wasteful. He shared that, as a child, he was not privileged to own toys and faced numerous hardships.

Beyond financial stability, the singer stressed that proper upbringing is equally crucial. He believes that parents must not only provide for their children but also instill strong moral values and a sense of responsibility.

Blaming poor parenting for many societal issues, Spyro wrote:
"Train up a child (male or female) in the way they should go, and when they grow, they will not depart from it. Many of us should be focused on ending the cycle of poverty so our children won’t be victims too, but unfortunately, my generation is busy gallivanting and indulging in frivolities."

He recalled a conversation about his childhood struggles, stating:
"I was never fortunate enough to have toys as a kid; my childhood wasn’t the easiest. But from a very young age, I promised myself that my kids would never go through what I did. That’s why I work tirelessly. In fact, I will never marry without having ₦500 million in my account. I fought, cried, and prayed, and today, I can afford to give my kids the life they deserve so they don’t become prey, as I almost did. This should be our focus, not criticism."

Spyro further emphasized the need for spiritual and moral guidance, stating that financial success alone is not enough. He believes that instilling the fear of God in children is essential, as it helps regulate human behavior and prevents moral decay.

"The spirit of God in a man is what keeps him level-headed. Didn’t the Bible say the heart of man is desperately wicked? Only God over man keeps him sane."
