What is the "right" gap for marriage partners ?
Who made you the universal judge over marriage affairs ?
Will it have been okay by you if the man was 100 and she was 60 ?

Again you assumed the marriage was arranged with nothing
to back up your assertion. You narrate the myth as if you are
one of those who arranged the marriage.
If you are as smart as you claim you will realize that scenarios
aren't equal to event.

It is distasteful to see a young lady marrying a man 3 times her age, just as it is equally tasteless when 18yr olds have children out of wedlock, both are adults. You are here defending something you know is abnormal. How would you feel if you met your 20yr old daughter or sister eating a 58yr old man? Will you allow it? Wouldn't you frown on the thought and probably caution her? This is the height of hypocrisy being displayed by people, all of a sudden, it's ok to sleep around with men 3 X your age but if the girl was 17 and had sex with a 52yr old man it would be called rape.

Don't be silly too. Stop being sentimental and use your reasoning faculty. I can't believe I once assmed that men think rationally.



Do you mean broke single guys and disadvantaged ladies? No one cares about their opinions

Age is nothing but a number. They are adults and they have the right to freedom of choice. Many unfourtunate things happen everyday and this is certainly not it.

Protein as in animal protein

"Broke guys" really? I'm sorry but you sound like the kind of girl who wouldn't try to better herself but wouldn't hesistate to elope with a rich man all in hopes of living a more comfortable life. If you haven't learned anything about men, if you don't bring any value to his home, he will treat you like a worthless item in his treasure chest. You must prove to a man that you are more than just beauty and you aren't just trying to be a parasite or he will cheat on you with the best ladies money can afford. Get a job, be independent and don't wait for a filthy rich old billionaire to come knocking on your door.

Ephemmm:
How does marrying a younger lady becomes tastelessness in African setting if I may ask? The man has made his decision with which he is comfortable with: if you like marrying Metusella, it is your choice.

Every human being tries to use his money to get the best thing in life: leave the man joorr

Well then you just proved my point, her parents pimped her out to the highest bidder. Young girls have become status symbols, play things for the rich and trophy wives. This is tasteless.

kandiikane:
Hypocrisy indeed. Wait until you are in your 50s before you begin to pass such judgment. The same ones talking rubbish about this, will be the same ones running after small girls when they grow older.

I don't have to wait until my 50s to get married. I hope you wouldn't prevent your daughter from marrying a man 38yrs older than her.

neocortex:
You made no sense with your post.
She was 22 years old when she got married,
she made the decision as an adult not an underaged
girl.
I expected you to show evidence of her being forced to
marry the man but you didn't meaning all your rants are
based on envy and jealosy.

Typical response from silly people... Everything someone says has to be based on jealousy. The main thing distasteful about this union is the age gap between the man and the lady, the fact that he's a billionaire just adds icing to the cake is indicative of an ulterior motive. Sure it appears as though she's an adult and made the decision on her own, but you would be ignoring the fact that most marriages in Nigeria are influenced by the parents of the bride or groom. This lady didn't just walk into the midst of this old man and suddenly fell in love, it was most likely arranged.

It is a societal norm!

It is natural!

Science says that I have a higher probability of having cancer if I consume lots of protein. That does not mean that I am going to have cancer.

Don't be silly, if this is a norm, why are there other commenters pointing out their age disparity? Are you saying a majority of ladies who get married are marrying men almost three times their age? And which research shows u have a higher chance of getting cancer by eating lots of protein??

Ephemmm:
[/s]

Everybody works to get money so that one can use it to get what he/she wants: after the man has labored vigorously to get the money, do you expect him to marry someone with whom he was not pleased?

Hardly did people like you realized that money and women are inseparable duo that cannot be separated. If you doubt me, show me a rich man who is not experiencing the excessive influx of women into his path.


Work harder and stop being paranoid. Bros, no offence

God please bless my hustling more...

This isn't paranoia, this is tasteless. I don't need to marry someone 38yrs younger than me just to prove that I've made it. If your motivation of making money so that you can marry a girl 38yrs younger than you, ride on.

In as much as I would like to scold u like many others, I wouldn't because I'm quite aware that in.cest exist in most part of the world. Nonetheless, I will suggest you put a stop to it. Spend more time with your gf, tell your sister whatever you guys got going is an abormination. This is all fantasy, it's the same reason why some people crave three.some, while others parachute down an airplane. It is exciting and exhilarating that jolt of adrenaline rush u get when you think of doing something unusual and forbidden. But don't let fantasy get the best of you cuz after that initial high, you will surely regret it afterwards. Your relationship with your sister will never be the same again, it will be awkward between you two even well in your later years. It will ruin her relationships with men for many years to come and ultimately she will hate you.

Be wise.

Why e dey pain you? You will do worse if you were in her father's shoe or in Mr Okoya's shoe

It is hypocritical and delusion to criticise natural order of things. It has been happening before you were and it will forever be.

Excuse me, this is the natural order of things? To let young girls marry men older than their father all in the pursuit of money, really? Besides being socially distasteful, do u know the prevalence rate of genetic birth defects that result in the offsprings of children born of older men? Research has shown a strong correlation between autism in children and the age of their fathers. The older the man, the higher the rate of autism.

This isn't a natural order or a societal norm.

The 37 year old beauty has been married to the 75 year old billionaire businessman for about 15 years now.

She was 22yrs old when she married the 60yrs old billionaire. Which means that man was almost 3 times her age when she married him. He was 38yrs old when she was born. Parents who give out their daughters to filthy rich men whom are old enough to be their grandpa are nothing but pimps selling their daughter's innocence to the highest bidder. The level of hypocrisy in the society today is just shameful. The love of money have clogged up many people's thought processes; it has made them immune to shame and blinded them with greed.

Disgusting.

This is really unique, now children born in the diaspora can learn a thing or two about their roots. Black Americans can also learn something about their ancestors without traveling to Africa. This thing has so much potential, they can even charge visitors entrance fee and expand on it; trust me white folks love things like these too! Both Holywood and Nollywood can use this site to film some village settings in their movies without travelling back and forth.

Wherever there's a can of coke, there are igbos... The next frontier is space.

It may be cheaper burning a pile of 10 naira notes than buying firewood.

Stop defending a worthless currency with our limited reserves. Let the naira freefall and stop deceiving ourselves. Those days when oil sold for over $100 per barrel, you greedy crooks were enriching yourselves.... you've already caused enough havoc, save the reserves and dont bankrupt this country any further.

Trust No One.

sweatlana:
That is eh

I wonder how some poeple can see this as right

That's because we a bunch of ass lickers. We think the white man will love us more if we do what he wants.

I'm yet to see Obama brief The Guardian or Punch about his domestic plans.

The seller probably sold you a locked phone as unlocked. Contact the seller and request for a refund enough for unlocking the phone. Blacklisted phones work very well in naija

My thought exactly... don't blacklisted phones work in naija anymore?

tyconcepts:
Its #500,000 daily limit on Stanbic(That's $2,272.7 given their current exchange rate of #220 to #1).

Talking from experience.

cc : clone2020

Seems like they give conflicting info, but even $2k or $5k is still not bad.

tonjeola:
have once asked them on twitter, they told the same of N500k, they said if I want above that, I should go to their branch and apply for 500k and above limit, although I should be expecting to pay a fee on every transaction above 500k, but when I got to their branch in my area, cc who attended to me, told me my limit per day is $5k or equivalent in naira, which he showed me on a form I supposed to filled. If I want above $5k I should fill the form, so I decided and left, leaving it @ $5k

So maybe this limit might be different on an individual basis. If there are no extra requirements to increase the limit, u should increase it, u just never know when u will have to make a big purchase.

Good day Mr AleAirHub. I pls u have a question... Can a clearing agent clear both air and sea cargoes or are they two different sets of people specializing in different things? Do u know any reliable agent who clears air cargoes?

tonjeola:
stanbic is $5000 daily

Thanks man, hopefully they don't change it anytime soon.

mavinc4u:
1 M naira

tonjeola:
stanbic is above $1000

Do you know how much exactly?

inze:
. . . its $300 cash withdrawal limit and $1,000 P.O.S/online transaction limit

Thanks bro, it makes sense now.

legalwealth:
I've not verified using stanbic card on USA PayPal but some Nigerian cards like diamond visa card,gtbank dollar visa card,first bank dollar prepaid card,africard and smartmoney have been verified working with it.

I'm guessing these are all Dom accounts, but with the recent restrictions in depositing dollars this meay not really be feasible unless u have dollars already in your account. Pls do u know about the NRN accounts, I'm trying to open one.

legalwealth:
You can open a Nigeria PayPal account with the stanbic card but you might experience restriction on some sites that don't accept payment except from that of USA.

You are a don in PayPal and all these online payments oo. I need the Stanbic PayPal mostly for ebay transactions, hope I won't experience any restrictions.

legalwealth:
Payoneer USA bank account can no longer be used to verify PayPal.

It will be added successfully and some two cents will be sent from PayPal to it which is good for opening doors for your Payoneer account.

It is not a must you add bank account but you can complete other items which will make your account to be in 80% status which is satisfactory.

If you compulsorily need to verify your account by adding bank account,kindly send a mail pertaining that to info@ijamsolution.com

Thanks for the reply. It's not compulsory that I attach a bank account. My main goal is to have a PayPal account for making payments and bit for receiving. Can I just open a Nigerian PayPal account and link it to my Stanbic account without being restricted when making purchases?

On the other hand, if I open a U.S PayPal account with 80% verified, can I also link it to my Stanbic mastercard which will enable me to make purchases online?

tonjeola:
yes with stanbic, but don't know of other banks.
I bought stuff worth $600 yesterday with stanbic card

Oh wow, thanks

In her silly mind she thinks she's Nicki Minaj. Indecency has become the norm.

Please has the $300 daily POS limit implemented by CBN been restricted? Are you guys able to buy stuff online for over $300 a day?
