The country was better then.

Fress education, gaining entrance to universities was not tedious. Available jobs. Good and visible incentives/handouts. Cement was cheaper.
That time people working in NNPC were adequately okay.
Now nnpc staffs dey fear house rent!

Your fathers were just preying on naive children that they could easily control.

I'm sure most of the time they'd belittle them into submitting to them.
Don’t project your situation on others

What's there to be ashamed of? 20 and 27 isn't bad for a combo. Do you think at all?
Re: How Old Were Your Parents When They Got Married by tosyne2much(m): 3:49pm On Oct 30, 2025
Mum was 16 while dad was 26

It looks like in those days, men had more emotional maturity compared to now

Back in the 70s, a man could marry at the age of 22 and still manage his family properly

Tell me you're a child predator without telling me that you're a child predator.
Love800:
Which children!

Yea.. i understand dat countries have different benchmark for eligible adult ages for their females. Our's is 18. Okay.

Dat does not mean a 15--18yr cant be already metamorphose for marriage.

Anyway, we all know dat females should be through with their studies first before marriage. A fair one. Giving the ladies an edge in critical reasoning in associations, groups, family. The only disadvantage in dis one is that they get married at old age!

Igbos and Notherners would be very represented in crazy age gaps. One party being a teenager if need be.
That’s u igbos like to take care of their wife, unlike yorubas that don’t value their wife or marriage

Stay there and be doing child predator.

In the past, these ladies were married early.
Our era are undergoing reforms/policy which are not bad too, making women to earn and take part in critical decisions by going to higher institutions(universities).

I always appreciate your comment.
Nice one.
