He shared his thoughts on his Facebook wall. Read below

I swear, I am very saddened how the marriage institution is going down the drain these days. Young people are no longer responsible or disciplined enough to stick it out in any given relationship and I fear that in the next five years, marriage as we know it, may become old fashion. Na WA!! A while back, I was talking to one of my sons who at 38 still can't rap his head around the permanence of marriage and this gave me cause for concern when he asked me, "why must marriage be forever or for better for worse, and couldn’t it be for maybe a few years as mutually agreed."

I may be old/new school, but I still believe in Family and Marriage. I believe that every human being is created to have a desire to be married and some have a desire to be single. But most of us want to be married. So, you CANT have a healthy marriage with unhealthy habits. Mbanu!!! Whether or not a young couple stay together often depends on why they got married in the first place. Take it from me, It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. Being married to the same person for almost 38 years has thought me that marriage is no moimoi, neither is it beans and rice. Both parties must work at it daily and must give all of himself /herself everyday, forever. For me and my wife we are committed to managing each other because the devil we know is better than the Angel to come.

Marriage like I keep saying is how we maturely deal with our incompatibility rather than our compatibility. So if you are having challenges in your marriage, and you really want to stay married but need to talk to someone to share your problems with, you can call Charles Emeka Oputa on 08033076993, maybe we will learn a thing or two from each other. Your call will be strictly confidential".

And that's the truth

Tbillz be like

hmmmmm..................marriage

Charly Man is right...

Marriage needs to be redefined and updated to suit the changing times of 21st century. It is my belief that if wealth and resources are equally shared and we are able to achieve an egalitarian society, people will enter into marriages with the right mindset.

Money problem and infidelity has been the reoccurring themes in failed marriages.

He has spoken like an old man with diminishing brain, like the Dullard

Its just so sad.

In d olden days, people dont even court, n d way we do now, when a lady is ripe 4 marriage, A stranger from no where will jst come and pay her bride price, no one cares if she loves him or not. The funny thing is Most of these marriages last till d end, simply because the ladies then were"RESPECTFUL" and SUBMISSIVE." But irony is the case when it comes to our present day Ladies.

sadly, this is true. it has already happened in the developed world. the institution of marriage that has upheld the society for so long has been compromised as we have left the originator of the institute. GOD. may God help the human race

I share the same belief that marriage needs to be redefined
but marriage works on values: patience,endurance,love and so many more
an egalitarian society is only ideal not possible,even in communist/monarchial societies infidelity abounds not primarily because of money but moral values both before and during marriage

Even though an egalitarian society won't be achieved 100% but the wide gap between the haves and have nots needs to be reduced to its nearest minimum.

The institutions which ought to inculcate those values like the family, church, school and larger society has failed in its primary duties. We are all headed for doom if these trends are not urgently addressed.

Western civilization and its accompanying institutions ideas inventions and innovations are the bane to the strict african traditions
until we go back to the drawing board and make an idea(god/gods) central to our lives then we are truly doomed
