"Initial Gra Gra" is worrying you brother....He wanna get married at 24??...huh??..The kain cheating wey he go cheat on that girl ehn, she'll regret meeting him in the first place...Who dey pursue your brother/the two of them....Do they know what marriage is all about?....Ohhhh...I guess he/they think its exactly the same as Boyfriend and Girlfriend parole abi......I smh 4 ur bro...

U Need to read more History and law books and less of ONTV...
The legal age to get married is 18yrs and from time imemorial and now till thy kingdom comes! Guys who will marry @24 would always be amongst us!
Talk 4 urself and STOP using Ur Status 2 judge others...
MARRIAGE is a LIFE LONG LEARNING Activity!! A 25yr old Man with Marriage EXPERIENCE is better than a 40yr old with NO EXPERIENCE

@ 24 is not bad but d bedrock of this matter is been financially independent, he can't just marry now and hope for manna to fall from heaven. steady income is d number one priority in marriage.

Michizzy:

That's why I said, both parties should be matured psychological and also it's a belief that with age comes maturity, people expect you to be more matured as you grow older. Your brother may be matured enough to handle marriage complexities but what about the OP's brother? You are using your brother to generalize other males.

You're right

OP. Something tells me that the person who wants to marry at 24 is not your younger brother. Rather, it's your boyfriend. Going through your profile picture, you don't look like a 25 or 26 year old to have a younger brother of 24 years.
Confess now!

If your YOUNGER brother has completed his NYSC & you're here discussing / deciding on HIS future life plans with this type of ENGLISH GRAMMAR, I think you should worry about the log in your eyes than the spec you see in his eyes!

Lool

Not here to argue with you..Talking about my grandparents and greatgrandparents, that was then...In the Early years and most of them were into farming and money had value then too.....Bro, we are 2016..The guy just graduated from the university. He hasn't even served yet and has nothing bringing in money and you are advising him to get married because his grandparents and greatgrandparents married early....For real..Wake up and stop backing up your instances and examples with the past/early years...I am asking again?...since its legal to marry at 18, why didn't you marry at that age?...I agree say I no fit do am but why didn't you do it

Sasuwa:

you mean it?

yes o, some of us don 36 with no money so no girl wan marry us. by the time (if we're still interested) we born na we go resemble the pikin grandpa. omotola na my mate, she don born 4,dis life is luck o. by the time she marry older guy wen serious and your brother de roam aimlessly de find left over woman wen go marry am una go con start fasting and prayers

Sasuwa:
He Just graduated , waiting for youth services and hard no work. Should we allow him?

Please let him. I married at 23. Em a serving Corp member in Sokoto state.

Hypocrisy at its peak!
24 too early to marry but too OK to engage in illicit/premarital sex.

& who says a 24 year old cannot be financially independent?
Who says he cannot be more responsible in all ramifications than older folks?

Tell me you haven't seen 29+ who are still broke & cannot even manage themselves talk less of maintaining another fellow.
& remind me you've not seen -25 who are made already.

Constitutionally, @18, you're considered responsible for your actions and reaction & therefore, you can independently take decision(s)

As long as you're focused & emotionally stable, you can go on.
Age is not really a yardstick, it is a thing of the mind.

Many unsuccessful marriages regardless of the couples' age & financial status.
If majority of you stay on this viewpoint of yours, it simply implies you won't be getting married, 35-40+ as long as you don't have that BIG money.
& your kids will call you Grandpa/ma.

You don't need huge cash flow to settle down, you need an income stream plus a good plan.

It is more of a mentality thing, quit being an idealist & embrace reality.
Better are the days of little beginning.
Societal expectations should not define your life.

praxs:
Depending on some factors higlighted here already.. How matured is he? Any source of income et al... Albeit such, i see no reason why at 24 one cannot get married.
Our parents did it, even in the present generation, pple are still doing it. Goto other countries, u will see such. Even in Nigeria, esp muslims do that. What is so wrong abt marriage at 24?

while am even thinking of getting married at 23

I know someone who married at 23 immediately after nysc, now 2 kids don land..u don't have to b rich like dangote before u consider marriage

Sasuwa:

I av a brother tht married at 23 and is expecting his first child soon, he already has a good job plus supportive parents. So at 24, he is not in anyway young for marriage.


If u're Muslims they can do the Aqidun nikkah for them nw, but they shld't av children in their plans yet, till he is well settled and has at least a source of income, both families shld agree to support their children till then, if not he shld just chill till then, marriage isn't child's play.

tse1v1:
@24 YEARS IS NOT A CRIME THATS ACTUALLY THE BEST AGE IF HE BELIEVES HE CAN SURVIVE IT.............ITS LACK OF MONEY THAT MAKES US WAIT TILL 35 BEFORE GETTING MARRIED..........AT 44 HIS CHILD SHOULD BE AT LEAST 23YRS................IF MONEY DEY FORGET BOIZ GO MARRY AT 23 SELF

if the guy wan marry, make una leave am na em life everyone with different Grace.

I got married when i was 23 years age does not really matter in marriage what matters is taking up the responsibilities as a man that's what makes you the head of the house

2.if u reali READ the OP article..u would hear the guy is INTO TRADING!
3.i knw 4 guys that got Married in my area @25...and if u r nt an OLODO..u would knw dat some ppl that didnt go to school always marry early because they have a Marketable skills e.g I knw young printers in Somolu dat got married early!
4.U asked y i didnt do it...U didnt even ask if I Ever want to Get Married(because Not a pre-requisite 2 enter Heaven)
CHANGE UR MINDSET!

idrezee:

I married when I was 23 and 6 months old. 2 weeks after my NYSC POP, I'm 25 going 26 now and I'm very happy I did it then. I didn't have a job and no hope for one, but I know I will sooner, and I sponsored everything from my NYSC savings and I have never collected a dime from my family. I hustled hard for my family and pray to God for sustainability.

abeg will u jump from 25 to35

I will advice your brother to wait not because of his age but because he didn't have stable source of income for now.


Early marriage has a lot of relative advantages.

How old is the girl?
