Would you want her to get married now and divorce tomorrow? Marriage no be moimoi that you just buy for market ooo.

Like someone said in the thread, she knows and she's not happy with that either. Just pray for her that she find a good husband.

Then let her at least take the guys approaching her serious. What is hard in that?
As much as your show of love for your sister is felt, be mindful that she's an adult & basically your elder sister at that. You mentioned going physical, with your elder sister......? Who sells this kind of igbo will land you somewhere not good, change your dealer, please.
Dude, your sister is not unaware of her age, leave her to run her life, besides she might have anger or emotional intolerance, so being subjected to a man might be her phobia. Rather than her killing someone or someone killing her in the name of marriage, look front & follow ya lane, las_las she will be fine cool

@op sounds like a baby
Go physical with your own sister, are you crazy?
You're the type of sibling/family that can make her go into depression becoz of ur stupid words or force her into toxic marriage all in the name of she is getting old. Oh you think she doesn't know her own age again? Or she doesn't know she is due for marriage... You think she will tell you everything she is thinking? If you're bothered call her and talk not saying you want to go physical with your sister bcoz she is not married... It doesn't even make sense smiley

My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.

But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).

As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.

Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.

What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.

Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.

Live and let live!!! You can't decide for others please, if marriage is so important to you then you should go ahead and married abeg.

Yes, tell her.
To you she doesn't know, so open your mouth waaaa and tell her.

Did you hear of Bimbo who just died, sebi she was married to a man.

You have a sister who is 32 and focused on making her own money to be financially independent before a man comes and you say she is only focused making money?

Oh! She should wear white gown and end up without her own money and be slammed on the way with her head to her death and stay with her abuser because she is getting old?

At what age did Ruth, Esther get married in the Bible? If the bible didn't mention the age Rebekkah got married to Isaac either, then you have no business bothering about her age at 32.

Sebi you people have made marriage all about birthing kids in Nigeria, when she eventually marries and births 1 or 2 kids, sebi e go don complete? But she will be financially independent in it and be capable to run for her safety if it turns ugly and not be told to go back fast and pray because she is financially handicapped.

Your prayer should be God should send a man her way who loves God, will love her also, push her to accomplish her dreams in life and they will be happy as a couple not just marrying because she is old.


So if she was your younger sister, you will go physical with her and forcefully push her into any man's house abi? When you marry your wife, turn yourself to a statistics of those men who go physical on their wives, you hear?

Hello there, it's normal to feel concerned for those you care about and I'm gonna be honest with you I think it's great but talking about getting physical with your sister because she isn't married or talking about it isn't clear at all. With all due respect sir, there are over a thousand ways you can talk to her about it in a matured way and try to understand her view. Remember while so many especially in the country see marriage as the proof of success and all not all both men and women see it that way.

I don't think you can make a calendar for your sister's life. The best you can do is talk and ensure you hear her out as well but in all never get to the point of getting physically violent where it will affect your bond as a family and that won't be nice

I can categorically tell you that your sister has not seen her kind of man that is why you think she is not serious about getting married.

I was like her until I met my man. I squarely focused on my career and other important things that my mum would not let me rest. In fact several people tried to connect me with suitors but I never liked any of them.

You and your mum should just let her be and keep praying for her, when she meet her man Na she go tell una say she wan marry.

Don’t listen to people saying you should mind your business, they are mostly frustrated women, divorce or women that have given up on men and want people to be like them..She is your sister and will always be.. also you mean well for her that is why you are concerned.. we have heard of some women committing sucide because no husband and no kids and they are close to 50years.. Everyone deserve love and a partner to build a family with.. forget about the fact that she is helping you with money.. that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tell her the truth.. you don’t have to go physical with her .. that’s a disrespectful, childish and unwise way to go about it.. i suggest you sit are down and talk to her about it.. acknowledge she has done well in seeking money but money is not everything….women get to menopause early, also there are more complication if a woman start giving birth late, also number of toasters will reduce as she get older because men always prefer younger women and the competition is high among women, also advise her not to travel abroad without husband at her age.. they is no husband abroad..you should also try and understand her concern, her heart break and what’s preventing her, listen to her ..As you are a Broda in church.. also see if there is a good Broda you can link her up with.. there is nothing wrong with giving her a bit of pressure but not my insulting her.. it’s by supporting her.. your mum might be intimidated because she helps with money but you shouldn’t.. may God lead us right
