The New Trends In Getting Married These Days.. I Bow! by Nobody: 3:43pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
My dear people of nld, my ears and eyes have seen wonders since November till last weekend ....*heaves a deep sigh* Have noticed couples getting married these days, is either the groom is way younger than the bride, Or the groom is way older than the bride . And when I mean older than the bride, am not saying 10years difference o, or 20years difference, am talking about an 75yr old man getting married to a 30yr old lady .... Initially, when I saw a post on Anenih and his young bride, I laughed,shook my head and read all the comments peeps were making here, I even contributed my own quota into the post . Hmmmmmmm, my dear nlders, my mouth is heavy, on what happened to one of my childhood friends, a young lady of 32years, very pretty, got married last weekend to a 75 year old man, all his airs , white grey... although he looks wealthy and rich, due to his looks, but am so shocked, she decided to marry a way older man when both of us was catching up about old times and then into our love lives, before she got married o... The day way she spoke about her bf? she actually looked inlove , and was singing his praises on how he accepted her warmly into his home in VGC, Lekki...and this guy is so loving, I was like eeyah, that's nice....thank God, I gushed with smiles. I then said , God will definitely complete his good works in your relationship, she said a loud amen. then we went our different ways, until after like few months, she gave me her wedding IV.... I was like Wow!, that's my babe...she was talking excitedly about it. I then went 2 d wedding, lo and behold , lemme fast forward, I saw her walking down, calmly smiling ,waving, heavily beaded up with native attire as she walks to the huge canopy erected for the bride n groom. But next 2 her, is a very old man who looks and smells rich ......I said to my myself, no that's not her dad... I still remember how her dad looks. then I stood up and looked well again..... they are both wearing the same attire, and the mc is saying here comes the groom and bride.... everybody stood up clapping for them, I was so shocked....but I manage to congratulate her, but I still wonder. pls help me to understand why old men whom are suppose to relax and rest in their old age are marrying young girls... while men of 33, to 36 even 37 are either waiting to meet the right one or are dating countless babes. whats really happening? 3 Likes 4 Shares |

Another scenario, happened to a male friend of mine hes in his mid 30s, having issues in his relationship with his gf... we agreed to meet up for a good chat and talk about what happening in our lives... With a sad face, he said his dad of 70 years has gotten married to one very pretty babe... and he was not even informed about it. my friend always travels for business and his mum is late, hes the only son.. one fateful period, he travelled and stayed away for months due to business, then when he came to town, his first point of visit , was 2 check on his dad @ home... when he got 2 his dad's house, he rang the bell, a young lady opened the door for him, he looked at her with surprise, and asked who are you? she simply greeted him, smiled and walked into one of the rooms... he went to his dad's room and asked him. Dad, pls who's that lady I saw, few mins ago? the dad , smiled and said oh Rita? I thot av introduced her 2 u , before.... well, that's my new legal wife. he said what! ....wait dad are u joking?.....dad hissed and continued reading his papers.... well lemme fastforward again..... after getting through the shock that hes dad, whom he feels shouldn't be thinking of getting married at that age, is really married! when he got back to his own house sadly , after 30mins his dad called his number... 1 Like 1 Share |

and said son, pls stop visiting us for a long while... aren't u thinking of having your own wife?.... he looked at his phone , placed it on his ears and asked dad, whats d problem ? did I offend you,..av accepted your decision, so whats the problem?....his dad said, its seems my wife is having feelings towards you, all through the period we had dinner, there was dis twinkle in her eyes when asking u questions... and am not comfortable , pls don't come visit again... pls stay away for a long while, and go get married , don't worry I will be fine son...he was so shaken, he shouted at his dad... daddy, because of woman u r denying your son of over 30years old? are u ok? the dad just cut the call.... he was grieved, because hes so close to his dad, he never imagined anything like this could happen. his dad loves his late mum so much, he didn't realize another woman will steal his affections again, even at that age...he went to the village, reported to his uncles, everyone said, well theyv talked but he wont listen, he has married her but its a shame he wouldn't want u 2 see him anymore.. he was so emotional , as he was talking 2 me, I could feel his pain.. I tried 2 cheer him up and make him look at the brighter side, think about getting married too. and one day his dad will reconcile back with him again...he should be patient.. hes really hurt why are old men taking these steps and marrying younger ladies? 2 Likes 1 Share |

@Amelian, do you have any gossip blog yet? if not I recommend you get one and post all these stories there. Your aproko is very sweet and I trust you'd get a lot of followers and back to your last post I think there's really nothing wrong in your friend's father seeking for love at that age. Since his wife is dead, I think he needs what will keep him going and if the newly wedded wife in her 30's will, there's nothing wrong but if his wife was still alive then its wrong. But the motive of a 30yr old lady marrying a 70 something yrs man needs to be under the spotlight and the situation have to be monitored properly. Let that young lady not kill and cart away with the man's property. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Lol! Amelian, because the girls have wisened up and aren't willing to be put on hold by little boys who are: ~ Scared of marriage ~ Scared of responsibility ~ Not yet ready to settle down ~ Not yet emotionally mature ~ And yes, not financially capable to look after a family yet. Re: the last story about the 30 something year old man shunned by his father, his real gripe here is that he's afraid this new wife will turn his dad's head against him and take up all of his inheritance. 8 Likes |

Wud u accept it wit all gladness and nt be troubled for a second.... What wud be ur perception of the lady gettin married to ur father? Ansa honestly, pls! 3 Likes |

ekeneidiagbor: I would be more concerned about my inheritance and it being intact, new wife or not. That aside, if she makes him happy, then what's my problem with that? |

EfemenaXY: Ok gud... If u r more concerned about ur inheritance, den I guess the new wife shud be the cause for ur concern, making u uncomfortable with her arrival... Either ways u r still troubled, bt dis tym ur prob is with her standing btw u and ur inheritance.... I guess dat will make ur actions a lil bit inappropriate towards her... 2 Likes |
Re: The New Trends In Getting Married These Days.. I Bow! by EfemenaXY: 8:35pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
ekeneidiagbor: What sort of "actions" are you referring to here? Your initial question to me was: how would I feel if my dad marries a woman young enough to be his own daughter. I believe I answered that question fully. So why're you trying to add words to my mouth? i.e deviating and making assumptions on my behalf? What sort of inappropriate actions are you referring to? |

Most Nigerian men die young due to economic stress and leave their wives to enjoy the fruit of their children's labour. Many can attest to that. My dad is already late before his kids started getting money. If a man by stroke of providence lives beyond his wife and is rich, let him pamper himself.. |
Re: The New Trends In Getting Married These Days.. I Bow! by Nobody: 10:10pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
100Cents:well your presumption is wrong . why are these politicians alive then if most die young . My dad is about 70 , still making money and hs got friends in this age group. |

majekdom2: I know this might hard for you, but try not to judge everyone by your own sordid standards. I don't harbour evil towards others - and I think this is the premise of your grouse with the step mother in this scenario. |
