Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his perspective on why some women remain unmarried in their 30s, attributing it to choices made during their younger years.
Speaking during a recent interview with News Central, the actor detailed his observations on the matter.
The actor explained, “A girl will be in the university at 18, 19, 20, and she starts dating a very rich guy, sometimes very old too. Then what you see along the line is that because the guy is very rich and probably married, she refuses the advances of other younger people because the guy has either gotten her a car, and a house. So to her, she’s operating on a very high level.”
He went on to explain how this dynamic plays out over time, saying, “From 22, she goes on to 24 and maybe even if she quarrels with this guy, she gets the next guy. And before you know it, she turns 25, 26 and unmarried because she refuses the advances of younger prospective husbands. She gets into 29, 30, by that time she had left the university, and men are no longer finding her that attractive.”
“So she gets into 31; husband is not coming. And what do you have? At 23, she’s a flex. At 28, she becomes a prayer point. After 33, she’s declared a state of emergency. Because husbands will not come at that level of 33 years. Some of them get to 35 unmarried. And they still think that they are having fun. They are not having fun. They are now in a state of emergency, praying that God brings anyone,” he concluded.
