In Nigeria, it is somehow a tradition for the husband to be older than the wife, however I have noticed that it is not always so in some other countries.

Recently things have started changing and we have seen women both young and old dating someone younger than they are.

What is your take on this, is it proper for a lady to date someone older than her?

Go to Benin, you'll see a young boy of 18 dating and shagging a 30 -year-old ENP just because of money.


For an average Nigerian girl, age is nothing when money is involved.

Why not?

If they are a match made from heaven.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in that ...

In the Nigerian dating space.
For her to marry someone younger than her, he must and I say must be richer or more influencial than her. Dat way she will respect him and be submissive.

It's very difficult seeing a woman respecting her younger partner without these attributes.

My two cent

Akerodolu died aged 67 years, his wife madam Betty is 70. No be today e begin happen for 9ja.

There's nothing wrong with it.

There is nothing wrong with older lady dating younger guy. For me, I can date a girl who is older than me, however, the age gap should be within four years. Anything beyond that is a no go area for me.
