Any guy below the age of 21 has no business getting married except if perhaps he is the only son and he has a terminal disease

I am being realistic.


Only few fortunate Nigerian guys become financially stable before they clock 35yrs. If we are to assign percentage to it, maybe 1.5% of Nigerian male population do achieve legitimate financial stability before they reach 35yrs.



As for ladies, marrying a girl below 27yrs is setting yourself up for nagging and girlie issues. It's better for a girl to finish school, secure a job or start a business or establish a trade, learn how to earn money on her own and understand that it's not easy to earn money legitimately, by the time she has experienced all these couple with one or two heartbreaks or relationship failures, she will then realize that life is not a bed of roses where she gets whatever she wishes or fantasizes about and she will start yearning for marriage to settle down. At this stage, she will start to appreciate men and any man that offer her little favor will be appreciated and not looked down upon.



If you are single, run from girls below 28yrs if you want peace of mind in marriage because they are filled with girlie fantasies and still believing that they will marry Elon Musk with Pope John Paul's faithfulness and Drake's handsomeness and Davido's vibes shocked

If your grandparents got married at 16, 19 and we are waiting till 30-40, it tells you something you should know about society.
And what’s that?

There is no specific age once you are old enough. No one size fits all as our lives and paths are different. I recommend when you find someone who shares same marriage and family values with you. You two must be ready to fund these values, emotionally, physically and financially.

For a set of people who tend to despise their spouses, Nigerians are so obsessed with WHEN, rather than the quality of their marriages.

Marriage is not just something you tick from your bucket list.
Tell me about it. Especially boomers.

I agree. Maslow's hierarchy of needs, when you look at it has the basic items we need. Food, air, water, clothing and security. The best time to fight challenges is when you are young because you still have energy. What we need is mentoring, this is what Africa got right in the past. Young people were mentored, especially in the villages. They learned responsibilities very early until oyinbo came and said some of these things were child abuse but if you live with oyinbo who live in rural areas, who have farmland or something agrarian that brings them money, they are very African like. You go to school of life and school of the world so you can learn how to live as an adult. Today's adult is being pampered and living in an illusion, fighting each other instead of working together. They believe they are smarter than each other and in a competition. Mind you, our mothers of those days were not lazy, they also worked but they were independent. They would take their kids with them or have other women look after them, they had a tribe. Family is the bedrock of society and those who know this take it seriously because we know the truth is that no man is an island. It is difficult, not impossible to do it all alone. Women who are succeeding today will tell you the support network is important but it is usually about career, not family. The way a woman needs a support group to build her family is the same way a man needs it too. I still see some people in trades doing this but the world we live in now is capitalist, we think money is the ultimate goal of living so everyone is in a competition trying to make more money first before living, when life is not as expensive as we have made it up in our heads. We are living in isolation and we are the most disconnected from life even though we have the best technology.

Edit: today's generation thinks they are smart but they are dumb. They think they are the first that will discover family conflicts so they make so much noise on the internet, bad news spreads fast so the more people see bad news about marriages and family, they won't want to do it. Girls are ready to make money on the internet shaking their bodies for men to pay for because they want to 'have money'. We are making people more independent so they can MAKE MONEY. No one is interested in building the fabrics of society, which is the family. They are scaring you and I am a realist. If you can sleep with that girl from age 13, you better start learning how to take care of your house. Don't use education as an excuse. Handle your business. Life will never start on a golden plate, stop waiting for the perfect time. Get that girl who will build with you if you don't have enough. Families should support you and not put pressure on you, whether it's to have a child or to live according to standards they cannot sponsor you for.

With the reality of life now,


Men: 33 - 40yrs

Women: 27 - 35yrs


But you must never give birth to more than 2 kids.
Why not more than 2 kids ?

Why should any sensible human getting married today plan to born more than 2 kids; what for?

2 kids is enough


And when a man of 37yrs marries a lady of 30 - 35yrs, it's advisable for them to give birth to just 2 kids and plan to give them quality life plus education.

Valid point.
Then again, there are men that are rich enough to give 4 kids quality education.
Will you also say that is not sensible ?
Well, unless you have other reasons why you said 2 is enough.

I don't support any man or woman marrying now to give birth to more than two kids irrespective of their financial status.


If you are too rich, give birth to two and adopt available kids instead of birthing more

You need to be emotionally matured, spiritually guarded, financially empowered and physically moved.

We.would say 28-35.
We think your early to mid 20's should really be a time of self discovery and figuring out your own path in life.
It's also a good time to go on dates and get an idea of the type of person you would want as a long term spouse.
Also a good time to try out living with a partner before committing to marriage.

Getting married around 30 allows you to enter a partnership with maturity and stability, both emotionally and financially.
At this stage, you're more likely to make thoughtful decisions about your relationship, setting a strong foundation for long-term happiness. Q
I humbly disagree, bro. It's the readiness once one notices those subtle changes in one's makeup coupled with that inexplicable desire to affiliate, possess and own another of the opposite gender.
I am being most crude and basic as man was, and is still, programmed in these primal sentiments.
Forget money, forget age, forget societal norms, once one gets that unadulterated animalistic urge to 'mate',.. rather than fornicate, one SHOULD tie that Knot.

Talking from a primal POV.

But remember you said Nigerians especially Nigerian women don't like children who aren't biologically theirs. And please what's the difference between adopting two children and having two children biologically?

There is no right one age for all,what is right for A might be worst for B if try it because A does.What is important is that individual need some maturity that only you can no within yourself that you are ready,not the that people see from outside and think you are.May God bless all house that have total peace due to to their mutual UNDERSTANDING.Shalom.

Yes that's a natural trait in majority of Nigerian women but you as the man of the house have to make strict rules in the house to protect the adopted children, and remember I said "if you are rich", meaning I don't support broke or struggling or average people to adopt a child.


Adopting already birthed kids reduces the number of uncared children without a home or parents in Nigeria and the world, so to me, it's more humane and rewarding to adopt a child than birth too many children because you feel you are rich
