Big Brother Naija’s former housemate, and actress, Venita Akpofure has advised single ladies not to get married before the age of twenty-eight.
During an interview with Tacha on her ‘Radio Big Friday Show‘ on Cool FM, the mother of two said that women should savour their youthful years before committing to marriage.
She emphasized that she won’t permit her daughters to marry before the age of 28. According to her, as a young woman, it’s essential to explore various facets of life and gain diverse experiences before entering a lifelong commitment.
She said;
“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 who 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.”
“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, ‘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 do you think to 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. To me, an ideal marriage, my husband would have a wonderful house here, and mine would be over here, and there would be magnificent corridors connecting the two houses.”
