Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has sparked a conversation about the marital status of women in their 30s, attributing it largely to the choices they made during their younger years. In an interview with News Central, Kanayo elaborated on his views, which have been widely discussed and debated across various media platforms.
Kanayo's argument centers around the decisions young women make in their 20s, particularly regarding their dating preferences. He suggests that many women choose to date older, affluent men who are often married, rather than considering younger suitors who might be more suitable for long-term relationships. According to Kanayo, this pattern of behavior can lead to missed opportunities for marriage as these women age.
Kanayo describes a typical scenario where a young woman, perhaps in her late teens or early twenties, begins dating a wealthy, older man. This relationship often comes with material benefits such as cars and houses, which can make the woman feel she is operating at a high level socially and economically. However, as she continues to prioritize these relationships over potential marriages with younger men, she may find herself single as she approaches her late 20s and early 30s.
Kanayo's observations highlight a broader societal issue concerning the expectations and pressures placed on women regarding marriage. He notes that by the time these women reach their early 30s, they may face increased difficulty in finding a husband, leading to what he describes as a "state of emergency" where securing a partner becomes urgent. This urgency, he argues, stems from societal norms that view marriage as a critical milestone for women.
