Why on earth would they be in a relationship in the first place.


Go to school, go to college, grad with a good grade, get a nice job with good pay, choose from one these broken relationships, mend it, make a perfect one out of it and enjoy your self then I will consider you eligible to be in a relationship on that very age you are ready

very funny MEND ko...Avenge niii. I have my original girl since we were 18, wea re both original...I don't know of any other person who followed all the process you outlined has done better than us because of that. I was in 100level ,She was about getting admission. She graduated top of her class with distinction in Architecture, there were 40 something guys in that class, my result never came down all those years. I am now doing my Msc in Europe and she has joined me a year afterwards. No matter the age if your relationship is a disadvantage to your destiny then it is not right, I have seen people who have made everything and they wanted to "rest" in a good marriage which simply ruined everything they have worked all their lives for. I know at least 4 cases. Thank God I never had a parent who propagates this theory of " do everything first then find a good relationship". I did everything simultaneously n I am more than happy. I have become so arrogant that I can't even imagine been with a girl that has spent a considerable part of her lif with another man before coming to me.

Relationship doesn't mean sex
13yo kids can be in relationships where all they do is just talk and smile and send letters lol
Their parents should be in on it
As for sex and other stuff like that the legal age for consent in Nigeria is 18

Your question to me has two angles to it.
In an ideal situation, age 18 which is the acceptable age of adulthood in most civilized Nations, Nigeria inclusive.
Secondis a situation where the children fend for themselves. In this situation who sets the rules? Answer is no one. Societal influence and need for daily bread set the rules.
For instance many girls of 14 and 15 years of age in places like Warri and most parts of the Northern States are already mothers.

the age boys/girls should start a relationship is a matter for another discussion(this has nothing to do with age at all). But the age THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED to is I believe 18yrs. So when a boy/girl is under 18, no matter how mature he/she shouldn't be allowed to be in a relationship.






TLDR: relationship till 18years should be a function of age, 18years and above a function of maturity.

No specific age. When the person is emotionally mature and can also handle any heart breaks or any unpleasant outcome that the relationship may produce.

No age to b sincere

Older women can flop relationships

While younger women can keep relationships

Nd sometimes its d other way around

U kno maturity is nt by age


So wenever she is ready bt i prefer 16 upward tho

16? Because you started f0rking at 16?
Re: At What Particular Age Should A Girl Or Boy Be Allowed To Be In A Relationship? by Perfectionist11: 8:34pm On Jul 16, 2016
Its just that relationships nowadays have become sumfin else..

If you find someone that cares about you,respect you,motivate ye,cheer you up when you're down & most importantly SUPPLIES YOU WITH POSITIVE ENERGY....by age 12 then you're good to go in an ideal world.

Alas..!we do not live in an ideal world..so learn how to play the game first and set yourself up to play better than anyone else..for girls nowadays ages 16,17 is ok.

Wen she started hvin air in her armpit
some get rapid growth. Some start experiencing growth of pubic hair in their private parts at tender age of 8. Should these ones too go into a relationship?

age is just a number. a person is ripe for relationship when he/she has a high level of responsibility.

Hahha...bros, I am a complete ajepako. That is why I find the adventure so endearing to me. Infact, I lost my dad 3months to my post-UME. I met a girl in the post-UME hall at that time (immediately I stopped seeing the first girl) ,I immediately knew she was above my class.I wrote her post-UME for her n she gained admission the following year. I told her I was interested in her before I helped her write the exam n she told me to just chill. But after helping her I felt I wasn't gonna be sure maybe she loved me or was just repaying me.She was spending so much on me and always showing be off as d brilliant dude to everybody even at times when I was ashamed of the way I looked n dressed.She was really nice, very adoring, she would cook for me n all that. Remember I already wooed her and she asked for time, but I never repeated it again after doing her that favour, because I was never gonna be sure of the love.Even at the age of 17 I knew this was not the life I planned to live...I can't allow a girl spend on me n maybe keep loving me ONLY cos I am a kind of trophy to her. I made this vow when I was 14.

And that was the point I was making, most guys can't figure these things out in their 30s. I see issues people bring here n I just shake my head. It is not rocket science to know a healthy relationship.

But I waited n met the girl of my dream n I knew immediately!!!!.We both struggled together , her father was a pensioner throughout her undergrad years. Yet, she would never demand common credit card from me .she schooled in Ado while I schooled in Akure, we will contribute T fare if one of us needed to visit. She is extremely creative and can turn anything into beautiful work of art, due to her talent n her background in Arcchy. Looking at her alone is enough inspiration for me to be extremely successful , n it has spurred me into doing great things, likewise her too.I just gained a scholarship after NYSC , I didn't have a dime to come ...we found a way n here we are.

So when I read alot of derogatory stuffs about women n relationships here...I can only smh.Good women n men abound. I am not an old school, still much less than 30. It doesn't matter the age you meet the right one, hold dem cherish dem , motivate each other. I still see adults who can't even make up their mind even when the Mr/Mrs right is even struggling for their attention.....because they can't figure out the little details.They have their sights glued on completely irrelevant stuffs. And with kind of message I read here always some young ones are already filling their mind with sentiments that will never allow them have a blissful reltionship.

For a girl: when you are of age to marry and have acquired an education or skill.

For a guy : when you are of age and have a paying job.
