Can a Low-Income Non-Igbo Man Build a Future with an Igbo Woman?

I overheard a group of young men questioning one friend’s plan to marry an Igbo woman on his small, irregular commission. They argued his modest earnings and single-room flat wouldn’t satisfy her expectations. He insisted he’s prudent, sharp, and capable of providing daily meals and a stable home. His friends warned that if he doesn’t buy a car within a year, she’ll pack her bags and leave. I’ve seen Igbo women marry men with modest means, but those husbands were usually Igbo. What are your experiences with cross-tribe marriages when the woman is Igbo and the man has limited income?
