Why I Don’t Advice Women to Marry Before The Age of 28 – Reality Tv Star, Venita Akpofure Gives Reasons

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Venita Akpofure has shared her opinion on why she doesn’t believe women should marry any time younger than 28.

She disclosed this during a new interview with Tacha on Cool FM.

VENITA: Don’t marry young o! Don’t go and do “I’m doing high school sweetheart, we die here”, just be young! Be young, enjoy your life. When you’re tired, get married.

Tacha asked “When you say don’t marry young, what’s your age for young? Because people of 42 still call themselves young?” to which she replied:

VENITA: Do not marry young, I’m saying ideally — okay if my daughter came and approached me that she was ready to get married, if my daughter approaches me, as long as she’s not I swear to God, not up to 28, we can rock with it. Anything below 28, please no. Because you’re going to change your mind and you don’t know all of who you are at 20 something. Don’t get me wrong, there are people that are mature oh. But you need to try different things in life, different experiences, to be sure of okay, I want to be stuck here. Because it’s handcuff, you’re there.

“Why are you using the word stuck?”

VENITA: Because you’re stuck – that’s the social idea. Unless you’re westernized like me, then you’re unstuck, you can unstuck yourself. I’m divorced. The ones that are enjoying now, they’ll probably still reach a time where they’ll probably hate each other and still have to be in the same space. I’m telling you! Why you think say them get madam room and oga room? When the ground is shaking and I need space, I need space. Be in your room, I’ll be in my room. In fact to me an ideal marriage, my husband would have a wonderful house here, and mine will be over here, and there will be magnificent corridors connecting the two houses.
