occfx:So the over 170 million Nigerians living in abject poverty today, with over 50 million of them having passed the condition on to their children and so on, do not have any fault in the fact that is their poverty, is what you are saying. We can gauge poverty but not wealth. ![]() |

DyshApp:A real man doesn't marry a woman because she has Money. A real man marries a Hardworking, Resourceful Lady with good Character Black women are prone to having fibroid as they grow older, she is not telling you that. The older a woman gets, the more difficult it is to get married, she is not telling you that. Men would not be looking at you as every year, little girls are turning 21 years of age. There is no guarantee that if you work for ten years as a woman , that you will make money. No guarantee at all |

She should start by learning how to apply lip liner properly before graduating to advising others. Nonsense. |

Muhylonaire007:there is indeed no template for how to live life. However, there are many more foolish ways to live life than there are wise ways. With over 170 million Nigerians currently living in poverty, and with common knowledge being that poverty is highly likely a generational curse, choosing the wise templates would be the right thing to do for all at this point. ![]() |

Kobojunkie:According to the topic, she said make enough money. So my reply is focused on enough money which I said you cannot gauge. In fact, it is not early marriage that makes people poor if that's where you are confused. |

occfx:I think by "enough money," she probably meant something along the lines of escaping the poverty threshold completely before then proceeding to raise kids. ![]() 2. Over 170 million Nigerians today live below the poverty line, many of them as a result of poverty having been passed down to them by their parents/ancestors. This means the vast majority of Nigerians currently in their 20s are living under the poverty line, and many of them believe that somehow marriage will magically save them from a life of poverty, a notion that defies reality. ![]() Early marriage, in and of itself, isn't a problem at all. Rich people, for example, are known to arrange early marriages for their children with other rich people, and these marriages typically solidify their wealth and connections as a result. However, for people coming from a poverty background, early marriage mostly serves to exacerbate the condition, propelling it to a generational status in their lives and that of their offspring. ![]() |

Utter nonsense! This lady is basically advising people to marry when their libido has decreased. Make money but make sure to marry in your 20s please, especially after school. She probably didn't know the saying that goes thus: " A young man's wife is his bedmate, A middle-aged man's wife is his companion An old man's wife is his nurse" You don't want your spouse to be your companion and nurse only, marry him or her when the spontaneity, libido and love are still strong.

Another proof that most women are empty brained. We all know the hóre is just chasing clout sha. Women should get married immediately they reach 18. She can still go on and conquer the world in any field she desires. Science, technology, humanities or whichever. A woman can achieve anything... |

Tunaji:Your kind of advise is the major reason why over 170 million Nigerians are currently living below abject poverty today, with many of them having been caged in poverty by their parents/ancestors before them. ![]() 2. Companion and nurse in poverty? How many people living in abject poverty in Nigeria today are enjoying said marriage? ![]() |

DigitB:Millions of girls who have known nothing but poverty in their lives should go on to marry when they reach 18 and cement their lives of poverty and that of their offspring as a result. Many of you don't seem able to reason logically with your brains. ![]() |

TheBillyonaire:Women who marry in their 20s tend to have higher divorce rates compared to those who marry later, though the specifics depend on the age within that decade and other factors. Research consistently shows that marrying very young—especially in the early 20s or teens—correlates with a higher likelihood of divorce. For example, couples who marry before age 20 face a divorce rate as high as 50% within 10 years, according to studies like those from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). Marriages between ages 20-25 also show elevated risk, with around 60% ending in divorce over time, per some analyses. The “sweet spot” for lower divorce risk seems to be around 28-32. A study by Nicholas Wolfinger using NSFG data (2006-2010) found that divorce risk decreases as age at marriage increases up to the late 20s, then slightly rises again past the early 30s—about 5% per year after 32. Women marrying at 25 or older are roughly 24% less likely to divorce than those marrying earlier, aligning with broader trends of increased stability with age. Why? Younger couples often lack emotional maturity, financial stability, or clarity about long-term compatibility—factors that improve with time. The prefrontal cortex, key for decision-making, isn’t fully developed until around 25, which might explain some of this. Plus, marrying later often means more education and career grounding, buffering against marital strain. That said, waiting too long (past mid-30s) can introduce new risks, like entrenched habits or less flexibility. Data’s messy, though—divorce stats vary by region, race, education, and whether couples cohabited first (which can bump up risk). The crude narrative of “early 20s = doomed” oversimplifies; plenty of young marriages last with the right conditions. Still, the pattern holds: marrying in the 20s, especially early, generally means a bumpier road. |

Smilleydr:Na wa o. Nowadays it’s guys fretting that they might end up not getting married, while women are clocking out, since research shows women without kids are the happiest while it’s the opposite for men. |
