Nigerian content creator Peller has shared his opinion on the appropriate age for marriage, arguing that financial circumstances often influence when people choose to settle down.
Speaking in a recent video, Peller suggested that young people should not necessarily wait until their 30s or 40s before getting married, attributing some traditional expectations around marriage age to financial difficulties faced by previous generations.
He encouraged people who genuinely love their partners to express their intentions rather than allowing age-based expectations to dictate their decisions.
His words …
“For all of you that are saying things like ‘he is young and he’s getting married’ come closer make I tell you something. For those of you wey your papa and mama dey tell make you get to this kind age before you get married. Let me tell you what is behind it, it’s poverty. If you love woman dey show her quick quick. All that one wey Una mama dey marry at 30 and 40 na because our mama and papa no get that time…”
